Beach House Chic For Less Part 2

This week we have found some great beach house chic looks at Ikea.  My friend recently purchased the Orb light for her renovated home and reminded me how “right on” Ikea can be. From artwork to modern table top items, Ikea is one shop stopping.  Now all we need is a beach cottage to house all our new treasures!

Saturday Real Estate Stalking

The house where F. Scott Fitzgerald started writing  the Great Gatsby is on the market.  The estate is located in Great Neck, NY,  the area that inspired the tale of Gatsby and the lavish mansion and lifestyle in which he lived.  The Fitzgerald themselves threw wild parties, in this home (which has since been renovated) during the 2 years that they rented from 1922-1924.  A story goes that a maid found Mr & Mrs. Ftizgerald passed out, fully clothed, on the lawn, the next morning after driving their Rolls Royce back from a night of partying in New York City.  Oh, the good life!!!!!


Fashionable Friend Friday
