So, if being ginormously pregnant has decreased my amount of blogging (August?), at least my amount of actually getting stuff done in real life has increased. (Did that sound defensive? Sorry.)
We went to Target rather randomly this weekend, not to buy school supplies (for once), but just to wander around. Missoni is releasing their line on the 13th (dangerous...) but I figured that they would be clearing out their back-to-school dorm stuff. And they actually do have really great 30% off bedding sales and clearance right now.
I picked up a comforter/dust ruffle/sham set in white that reminded me of the rosette set from Anthro. The real thing is super soft jersey and amazingly wrinkle-resistant. However, it runs over $300 once shams are figured in. The 100% cotton set I found at Target were marked down half off from $99 to $49, plus two adorable apple towels at $2.99 each, minus a $23 gift certificate balance, came to about $38. So, 1/10th of the cost for a whole bed set and kitchen linen. Yay for mathiness!
Two major problems presented themselves once I got the comforter set home:
Additionally, I played around with a red and white gingham tablecloth and the new red apple towels to see how these gorgeous sheets from Garnet Hill would look with the new white bedding. I love the idea of adding more pops of red in our house to warm up the cool blue and green walls.

Two major problems presented themselves once I got the comforter set home:
- Blinding whiteness. We're talking over-bleached teeth. It makes the rest of our bedding just look like it has the cruds.
- Enormous fluffiness. As in, this comforter won't even fit in the washing machine. Not promising for something that is guaranteed to show every spot and stain.
