while lugging my air mattress out of bed bath & beyond i was lured into the chelsea west elm by the smell of cinnamon (candles). it was right across the street so i tried to tell myself it was ok to stop in. low and behold i totally loved about a dozen pillows. yes, west elm is well known for ripping people off but i’m hoping these designs aren’t taken from anyone we know…are they? they didn’t remind me of any specific design so i thought they might be safe. i’m a sucker for blue and green so this little throw pillows was right up my alley (along with the embroidered hedgehog, deer and owl pillows). pretty subtle and sweet for west elm. most people have major beef with this shop, but if you’re looking for a little pillow update they have some decently cute new styles. click here to check them out and shop online…[i wonder if this embroidery trend has hit its peak yet? i sort of hope it hasn't...]
