Urban Outfitters...

Ever since walking into the Georgetown Urban Outfitters my freshmen year in college, gasp! 11 yeas ago!, I have always had so much fun exploring their store. The style is not always what I'm looking for, but I do love the fresh and sometimes hilarious ideas... Their book section alone- seriously? I'd love to be in a meeting when a new writer pitches an idea to a publisher... "Picture this, if you will: an entire coffee table book about bad hair styles..." Genius.

The buyers for U.O. have definitely scoured high & low for some funky, affordable items. The store on M Street in Georgetown has gone through a few transformations over the years, but it never ceases to amaze me how fun, loud, and youthful the whole experience leaves me feeling... smile.

Featured: Floral flocked lampshade, $28.00; Deluxe Chandelier, $140.00; Antionette Fainting Sofa, $550.00; Baroque Cut Out Frame, $14.00; Crewel Leaf Pillow, $28.00; Blue Spindle Lamp base, $24.99
