InSide Style

How many times have you walked into your favorite super~mega convenience store looking for something to jazz up the place? Unlike clothing, finding great roomwear is a sporadic find, and normally, it's something that just pops up one day while you're out and about looking for a great pair of shoes. There are a few places that have great roomwear, but sometimes you want a room outfit that's surely hard to find, or shows off your interior design talents. IKEA, Target (Tarjeh), West Elm, Crate and Barrel, Pier 1 Imports, Linens & Things, Marlo Furniture....just to name a few are great places to find a diversity of items that will give your room a unique personality. But there are lots of great online markets that can give you the same sure-shot that these store giants can give.

cB2 (a spin off of Crate & Barrel) Only 2 stores in Chicago. A third location just popped up in SoHo (451 Broadway, between Canal & Grand) and a fourth location scheduled to open this summer in SanFran. I love this place. It's definitely the pop-of-color & pop culture mecca. Check out these fabulous finds for a space that gives life to anything that walks in.

Laidback. Thanks to Tom over at MySpace...his famed invention has connected me to some definitely stylish sistas in the design world. One sista from the Boogie-Down is laying it down in a living room near you. Giving couch potatos some much needed style, she has vamped a stylish line of throw pillows with silhouettes & graphics of popular culture.

Here's a slideshow of other great finds I've discovered while perusing the WWW...
