You know I love a good bar cart, especially when it comes in gold and is topped off with my favorite accessories. I have seen this bar cart across the web but can’t wrap my head around the $1,000 price tag.
So instead of investing a pretty penny into pricey furniture, I’ve rounded up a few key pieces on how you can get the look for less.
Insert Target. I’ve been such a fan of this pretty little bar cart for months. I’ve blogged about it many a times, but it really is so versatile and can be used a number of different ways! And can we talk about the $100 dollar price point for a second? Yes, please.
When it comes to accessoriszing a bar cart or creating a little “cocktail corner” like this one pictured above, it really is quite easy and only comes down to a few key elements:
The first is the bar cart (trick: if you don’t have a bar cart place a low bookshelf in a corner that has a similar height and width). Target and One Kings Lane both have great affordable bar cart options.
Third is a delicious cocktail recipe! One cannot go wrong with this St. Germain cocktail recipe I found on Domino. Mix the ingredients listed below and garnish with a lemon peel.
Hello, ladies! Happy Monday. We are about to get a blizzard here in New York, 20-30 inches to be exact. With all the snow ahead, it’s safe to say I’m dreaming of spring. So with that, today’s post is dedicated to my favorite spring color: pink! It’s both feminine and flirty and can provide the perfect P.O.C. You can shop each product below by clicking on the “+” sign next to each product.
I have these earrings in just about every color but will need to add pink to the collection. They are seriously the perfect everyday earring.

Hello, lovely ladies! Happy Friday. It’s been a busy week so apologies for how quiet it’s been around here. I have a lot to catch you up all on so let’s get started, shall we?
I was on the Glitter Guide this week sharing one of my favorite winter sweater style tips! You can see the full feature here.
Piperlime is having a one day sale.. these have me dreaming of summer.
Hello, lovely ladies! Happy Wednesday. Isn’t it so awesome we’re already half way through the week?
Today I’m excited to share my latest Coffee Talk feature with my gal pal, Grace Atwood! I met Grace about a year ago at a workout class a few of us went to in the city. I knew instantly we would get a long when we discussed in-depth that night the importance of holding a day job while blogging. She honestly is one of the most motivated girls I know, and you just gotta re-spect! You know what I mean?
Grace heads up social media for our ever-favorite Baublebar plus she just relaunched her blog, The Stripe (previously Stripes & Sequins)! I love following Grace because she covers all facets of life – from style to beauty to DIY, Grace has. you. covered.
From Grace’s go-to nail polish color to favorite New York City restaurant, get a peek into Grace’s favorite things! Be sure to follow along with Grace on Instagram, Facebook and her newly launched website TheStripe.com! Xo. Lauren
Right now it’s Nails Inc. in Porchester Square. The polish stays on forever and it’s the perfect “griege” – it looks good on everyone!
2. Favorite Restaurant:
It has to be Almond! It’s in my neighborhood and is so good. I go all. the. time.
3. Currently Watching:
The Good Wife! I’m completely addicted.. I watched three seasons during my week off between Christmas and New Years.. embarrassing!
4. Bucket List:
I want to spend at least a full month traveling…I feel like you need to travel that long to fully relax. On my list: Istanbul (to see the Grand Bazaar), Croatia (such beautiful cliffs and beaches), and back to the Greek Islands! I went 5 years ago and it was incredible.
Ohhh that’s so hard! I would say Tata Harper’s Elizir Vitae (it evens my skin tone, prevents wrinkles and is not toxic). I also love Bite Beauty’s Lip Mask in Smashed (solo hydrating and imparts a sheer red shine). Last but not least, eyelash extensions! Not an actual product but an obsession of mine! I go to Ebenezer in Koreatown.
8. Motto:
This one comes from Steve Martin…”Be so good they can’t ignore you!”
9. On Repeat:
Riptide! I play it over and over again on Spotify.
10. Scent:
So my “scent” for the past year or so has been Le Labo’s Santal 33. I love it so much. I recently tried Mister Marvelous by Byredo. It’s meant to be a men’s fragrance but smells incredible on.
11. When I’m not working I’m.. working out, hanging with friends or watching TV/movies with my cat! I lead a fascinating life.
12. Currently Obsessed With:
Ginger tea. I have like, 5 cups a day!
13. Best Advice You’ve Ever Received:
Keep your head down and work hard!
14. What is your advice to women who are trying to start their own business or passion project?
Treat it like a business and not a hobby. You may feel like you are working two full time jobs at once (I still do) but it will be worth it in the end.
15. What’s On Your Bar Cart:
A stack of books, my Swarovski encrusted Kaboodle (a gift from the brand and my obsession – it holds my most favorite craft supplies), vodka, bourbon, and several bottles of Pinot Noir and Veuve Clicquot!
I need to learn how to do nothing!
