Let's Dish.

I was on my own at Casa Haute Mama for two days last week. Sadly, the boys got an early start to their vacay without their mother because she used up all of her PTO time like it was going out of style. The upside of all this was, well... I was on my own for two days last week. This meant doing things like sitting at my computer at 6 PM, guilt-free, and browsing the latest edition of Lonny without any interruptions. Heavenly.

I could share with you several things I found in this issue that I am now longing for desperately, but there are just a few items that I am quite certain I will soon be in possession of. John Derian has collaborated with the geniuses at Target and will be debuting his affordable goodies there on September 5th.

These lovely salad and dinner plates have me plotting an imminent dinner party: 

salad plates, $2.49

dinner plates, $2.99

And guess what folks? It gets better. Target has partnered with Gilt Groupe to offer up some of these lovelies exclusively to Gilt Groupe members this Friday, August 20th (along with two other collaborations that have me all grabby-handed- Tucker & Mulberry!). I am all over it.
