buy this, not that.

ever walk into a store, and see something fabulous, and then, right next to it,

is something that is the SAME price, but it is frumpy and, well...not fabulous?

that happens to me all the time...and i wonder to myself...

"why would anyone buy THAT, when they can buy THIS, and it's

at least 10 times better than THAT?"

and so, this post was born.

realize that by reading this and looking at

these pictures, that you are getting my big, fat

opinions and you should not get offended if you have,

in fact, bought "that".

ok, here goes....

buy this, not that:

ROSS edition.

buy THIS:

real wood?

cute shape?

makes people think that you went somewhere cool to buy this?

yep, yep, yep.

buy it.

not THAT.

pleather?

every college dorm in the country probably has one?

no thank you.

buy THIS:

simple, clean lines.

nice, reclaimed-wood top.

sturdy.

not THAT:

feather-light.

ummm...kinda looks like it belongs in a palm-readers hut?

do not buy.

just walk away.

buy THIS:

strong, simple, substantial.

not THAT:

frilly, weird flowery things on it,

and kinda dated looking.

buy THIS:

classic.

graphic.

timeless.

(no, that was NOT a pun.)

not THAT:

fake "antiqued" face.

and the makers name is waaaay too big.

buy THIS:

again, having something like this evokes a feeling

of being well-traveled. bonus points if you have actually

BEEN to thailand or....wherever this is supposed to be from.

(as you can tell, i am NOT well-traveled.)

not THAT:

hey, i love king tut as much as the next person...

(i was actually completely obsessed with king tut when i was

in grade school), but this just looks like something

someone might have picked up at a vegas gas station.

buy THIS:

simple, clean vases like this look great filled with

rocks, branches, or other decorative filler,

and when filled with flowers, really let the

arrangement be the star.

not THAT:

"hello.

this is 1986 calling.

you have our vase....we need it back for the

filming of "howard the duck returns."

buy THIS:

a simple, solid throw in a bold color like this

(the orange was much softer in person by the way)

looks great as a punch of color at the foot of a bed,

or on a sofa or chair.

not THAT:

yeah.

just don't buy this.

please.

buy THIS:

pillows should really be fun and interesting.

if this pillow were a person, it would be

the talkative, attractive person at the party that makes

everyone laugh and feel good.

not THAT:

if this pillow were a person, it would

want to sit too close to you on the couch and

talk about bunions and taxes.

happy shopping y'all!
