Decor-Eat: trina turk

December 11, 2012

As you may remember, my friend came to visit from San Francisco back in November, and we spent a day shopping around Soho. We popped into Piperlime's new Soho flagship store (which is awesome btw), and lucked into a store event that asked shoppers to take pictures of items in-store and upload them to mobile fashion app, Snapette, to be entered for a chance to win a $500 Piperlime giftcard. Can you see where this is going? A week later, I found out I had won the gift card!!

Which means I need your help! Seriously, please help. There are so many things to choose from at Piperlime. Do I splurge for NYE?

If you have anything you either own or have seen from Piperlime that you love - please comment below and include a link!

And if you haven’t heard of Snapette, you should check it out! It’s an awesome location-based fashion app that lets you check out what’s in stores nearby through your phone's GPS. I love it because I now don’t have to feel bad about flooding my Instagram stream with fashion photos while shopping (seriously I uploaded about 16 items from my recent shopping trip to Bergdorfs and by shopping I mean browsing), and it’s a much better mobile tool to use for inspiration when shopping than Pinterest.

This week's Hump Day Home Makeover is inspired by a beach house in Pawley's Island, SC. It is an extremely beautiful place (if you missed my weekend snapshots, see what I mean here). One of the best parts is that the island restricts commercial buildings, so what's left are a bunch of "arrogantly shabby" beach houses and grandfathered in inns on the coast. The house is a great mixture of new accents and old foundations. With the walls and floors of the house coming from an old cotton mill in Georgetown, and the wall decor coming from local shops, etc.

This week's Hump Day Home Makeover features the living room couch - another great mix of old and new. The cushions, fabrics and accents are consistently updated to manage the wear and tear from renters, while the couch itself is now considered vintage from Ficks Reed (can't believe that things from the 90s are already vintage!)
