I am sssooo excited to do a round-up of my favorite items over at the amazing baby and more boutique Serena & Lily.  Why?  Because I won their Show & Tell Contest on Facebook for September and get to spend $250 at their online shop!!!  How did I win?  Well – all you had to do was upload a photo of your favorite space in your house and write a little bit about it.  I entered a picture of Harper’s room and they loved it!  I couldn’t believe it because their “Cameron” room was a huge starting point when planning Harper’s nursery before she was born.  I loved the calm, monochromatic look of the room along with the natural textures and a little sparkle!  I’m usually not one who would ever paint a room beige, but when designing for my daughter I really wanted something sophisticated and definitely not pink!  Yes, I’ve embraced the pink as she’s gotten older, but I never wanted a theme-y room for her, or one that was overboard on the pink.  Isn’t it a pretty room?

Imagine my excitement when I found out that I won!  I carried their catalog around with me everywhere when we first moved into our house.  Now let’s see…what should I get with my gift certificate?  Here are some of my favorites from their site!!  Now who should I spend it on?  Harper?  Me?  I can’t decide, ha!

Harper would love this little bear Friend.  And at only $20 each I could get 12 of them for her!  Kidding!

I’ve had my eye on Pottery Barn’s Anywhere Chair for Harper for a while, but I could get her a couple of these Square Chairs to play on and drag around the house instead!

Oh yeah.  A Nursery Style design book by the geniuses behind Serena & Lily.  Definitely on my wish-list.

I love, love, love, love their Market Slings, and if it was a year ago, this is what I would get for sure, but Harper’s a little old for a sling now.  Mom tip: Plus I love my Moby Wrap even better than a sling now that I’ve tried a few out.  You don’t have to hold them like she’s doing in the picture.  But both are nice to have and these are GORGEOUS!

I could definitely use a new purse, and this one doubles as a diaper bag.  The Peacock Gypsy Tote is calling my name!  You can buy the bag only, or the matching clutch and diaper changing pad.  Hmm…this one might be a contender for sure!

They have GREAT lamps here!  This one (the Baker-Raffia lamp) was originally in the Cameron room, so I’ve had my eye on it for awhile!

This is the Bird’s Nest pendant – another one that catches my attention.  I love the grey walls behind it, too.

These Everything Bins are so adorable – my favorites are the caddies with the handles.  They’re made for kids but I’d use one in my office!

They also have some great grown-up bedding sets, but like any top-quality duvets or sheet sets, my gift card barely makes a dent. 

How great is this Haitian drum table?  Another one that would suck up my gift card and then some…but I still love it!  I’m on a budget here!

They also have a great Bazaar section, including one-of-a-kind finds from around the world.  Have I mentioned that I love ikat prints?  I do.  This chair is already sold – sorry to burst your bubble!!

Okay, enough teasing…I’ll keep you up on what I decide on!  Have you checked out Serena and Lily before?  Do you have any favorites that I’ve missed?
