Happy Saturday. Beyond grateful for blue skies and birds chirping this morning. I know winter is still in full swing, but a little hint of spring is very exciting. My boys will be at hockey today and my daughter working so my plan is to enjoy fresh air and get a few things done around the house. A sense an organization project coming.
BLACK HANDBAGS

I have a handbag almost identical to this (from Banana Republic years ago) and I carry it all the time. It’s my most used bag. I like that it has two handles (one long and one short). This is a wonderful option for $35.

And if you are looking for something small, this one is very cute. In fact, I plan on ordering this for myself.

This one caught my eye. Definitely more expensive but love how edgy it looks with the gold detail.
BEAUTIFUL

Wanting to invest in beautiful quality, this blouse is so pretty.

I also really love this beautiful blouse which I have shown before. A couple of you reached out to say how much you love it which is wonderful to hear.

SĂ©zane makes really pretty bags, too. This one is so classic and a nice size.

If you are looking for a well priced bag, I have been using this one for years. There are so many colors available. It holds my full size wallet, glasses and phone no problem. Really a great bag and under $25.

If you want to invest in a classic, this is so pretty. It also comes in black.

Another tried and true Amazon find. I have these belts and they have been fantastic. I am willing to splurge on a belt, but these are so good and a great price.

Another fantastic option. The double bar is really pretty. You can’t beat two belts for $14.
Does anyone have this designer belt? Curious if you love it.
ANTHRO

Another really pretty blouse. Might go with using the buttons . . just saying.

Smitten with this dress! Wait until you see the sexy back. So good.

Such a lovely dress. Amazing reviews, more colors and just so pretty.

I thought this was unique and fun. And it’s currently on sale. I like the gold mixed with denim.

If you are looking for a soft hoodie that isn’t cropped, this is a great one coming in at $30.
![](https://athoughtfulplaceblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Screen-Shot-2024-02-03-at-9.30.58-AM-800x733.png)
Need a little something festive for February? This will arrive in time and also comes in black and white.
TARGET SHOES

These sneakers are almost identical to the Chloe ones ($850). They have perfect reviews. Wait until you see the blue version. So good and $43.

Also a solid option if you need a neutral sneaker.

Have you seen these? I am jumping the gun for spring but so cute!!! They also come in natural.
AMAZON UPDATE
![amazon tracksuit](https://athoughtfulplaceblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/amazon-tracksuit-800x1422.jpg)
I wore this traveling to Pennsylvania and back and loved it!!! It doesn’t wrinkle, is incredibly soft and a great price. Huge fan. I wore it with my long black coat. I bought the size small in apricot (definitely more apricot than beige). Washes and dries like a DREAM. The delivery time seems to be later on this but worth the wait. My readers have told me their Spanx version is their favorite clothing but I just haven’t been able to spend the money yet.

Similar to my coat. This one is on sale.
FOR THE HOME
![](https://athoughtfulplaceblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/IMG_0345_jpg-800x1422.jpg)
This marble dish arrived and it’s sooooooo pretty in person. I treasure it. A great gift idea!
![floral pillow](https://athoughtfulplaceblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/floral-kitchen-800x1249.jpg)
Yesterday, I shared a few things that have arrived. This pillow cover is beautiful. A great designer look without the high price tag.
THIS LITTLE LIGHT
![table lamp](https://athoughtfulplaceblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Screen-Shot-2024-01-22-at-9.49.28-AM-800x1031.png)
Our power was turned off while working on a leak situation and so I brought this outdoor lamp into my closet. I LOVED the dim light in the evening instead of turning on the overhead lights. Because of that, I ordered this rechargeable lamp to have in my closet on a permanent basis. So excited for it to arrive. When I am getting ready for bed at night, it’s so much more relaxing to have soft light in the closet. This would be pretty in any room. So nice not to have a cord.
WONDERFUL LIGHTING OPTION
![](https://athoughtfulplaceblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Screen-Shot-2024-02-03-at-10.08.48-AM-800x763.png)
A friend of mine lives in an older home with lower ceilings and just ordered this. I LOVE this light fixture. A really high end look but you don’t need 10′ ceilings!
![](https://athoughtfulplaceblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Screen-Shot-2024-02-03-at-10.11.18-AM-800x717.png)
This is the 16′ and so pretty in the aged brass and sand shade.
GET THE LOOK FOR LESS
![](https://athoughtfulplaceblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Screen-Shot-2024-02-03-at-9.33.28-AM-800x475.png)
I still can’t get over this storage cabinet! It’s $300 and looks incredible. The high end version are well over $1000. This is good, my friends.
![](https://athoughtfulplaceblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Screen-Shot-2024-02-03-at-9.35.04-AM-800x618.png)
Sure, there are some differences. But you can achieve almost the same look, style it beautifully and save $2100.
Enjoy your weekend. I hope you are spending it with people you love. See you back here for the Monday Morning Wrap up.
*If you missed the “This Just In” post you can get caught up here.
I am still on the hunt for a flush mount light fixture for my daughter’s room (8′ ceilings). The one you posted is out of budget, but it has my wheels turning.
