I don’t have too much to say this week other than I don’t like the cold. I love being cosy and I am obsessed with all cable-knit items at the moment!
As a result, this week’s decor vs. fashion showdown puts a gorgeous knitted pillow up against a sophisticated sweater dress. Both look too good to be true for snuggling up with over the holidays and will instantly warm up your decor.
This week you have a $40 budget, but you can only treat yourself to one item. Which do you choose?
