Luxe Fashion: Python Print Sandal Look for Less

I saw these python leather sandals while shopping at our local Calypso boutique a few weeks ago.  I'm a sucker for a great neutral sandal, and love a good animal print!  They are a beautiful leather, but the $300 price tag is a little tough to swallow for a sandal that I probably won't be throwing on everyday (read: they're no Tieks).

But then while perusing the plethora of sandals on Piperlime, I stumbled upon a great look for less! Synthetic they may be, but they still accomplish the same look for a WHOLE lot less!

Luxe Fashion: Neon

Okay, so I'll admit, I was not eager to jump on the neon bandwagon at first.  The last thing I want to achieve is a 80s fashion flashback...but check out these inspiring photos below...I think we can all agree, without the permed hair and leg warmers, neon can be totally chic!

Of course the easiest way to incorporate a little neon is on your fingers and toes! There are so many fun colors out now!

The Look For Less: Calypso Sheesha Pillow

We've admired the Sheesha mirrored pillows from Calypso St. Barth by John Robshaw for years! Remember the ones in Olivia Palermo's New York apartment?!

Calypso Sheesha Pillow

Available in 26x26 and 20x20

 I think we can all agree these pillows are pretty fabulous and can add a touch of glam to any space!  I, myself have admired them nearly every trip I take into Calypso.  It's only when I look at the price tag that I'm reminded why I haven't already scooped these beauties up!..At $250-350 a pop, they are a small fortune! And it's not like you can just buy one! Heck, I would love at least three for my sectional! Calypso has great mark downs but I have yet to see this pillow ever go on sale.  I finally realized it was time to seek other alternatives!

While perusing Etsy, we stumbled across a great Sheesha pillow lookalike!

While they are not identical, they achieve a very similar look for a fraction of the price! We're talking $33.00-66.00!  That a huge savings!  Pillow inserts are not included, however the savings is so huge and it's easy enough to get an insert at Joanne's, that it is still well worth it!

Etsy Reflections Pillow Cover

Also Available in 26x26 and 20x20

They are available in the same sizes as the Calypso pillows and even additional sizes in between!

There's even another color option!...

White Mirror Pillow Cover

We think it's a pretty good look for less!

Perhaps now I can outfit my whole sectional!
