Oil Painted Portrait on Archival Linen Covered Board by Juliane Porter. (Click on the image for a better, larger view)
My sister sat for me over the winter holidays resulting in this oil pained portrait. While she posed we joked about my doing a life-size portrait of her fighter-pilot husband in full uniform so they might hang it at the top of their staircase to admire multiple times a day 🙂 Actually, to an artist that sounds like a fun project too! Something classic like you'd certainly have seen just a century or so back.
But back to business at hand, delivering on my promise from my very first post, how and where to find pieces like the adorable White and Warren cardigan and J.Crew necklace she's wearing. Merchandise has obviously been updated for spring, but you'll see similar items.
We both love fashion, with an eye to acquire beautiful, high quality pieces at affordable prices – after all one should be able to afford to have a life in their beautiful wardrobe 🙂
One great way to find the best price on an item you're interested in, is to punch the brand and style into ShopStyle.com, which aggregates merchandise from retailers, allowing users to search the most stylish stores all at once — by designer, brand, store, sale items, price point, and color.
Another surefire way to a good deal is signing up (judiciously, to prevent email inundation) for your favorite brands' smart deal email notifications. White and Warren, the designer of cashmere classics mentioned above, has one-day-only offers several times a year during which one or two items are available at huge discounts (think 70+% off).
Do you have any favorite sites that give great deals? What are they?
