Desire or Acquire: weekend bag, sneakers, and iPhone cases

Mara Hoffman // Stella & Dot

A few new daily "essentials" have been on my mind lately- comfortable slip-on sneakers, a lovely iPhone case, and a weekend bag that will serve all kinds of purposes.  Here are a few of these goodies I have been eying lately, and my wallet will certainly appreciate the better price points!

Remember my office makeover?  Today's desire or acquire post is brought to you by the inspiration of my new office space- while the room is pretty much complete, there are still a few decor items I would love to add to my desk.  A perfect lamp, a great tray, and some gold bookends will make my dreams come true for this space!  Here are some great designs at different price points that I am considering, and just guess which deals I am going to score off of this post!

Today marks the beginning of a new series here on the 3P blog- Desire or Acquire! While I am inspired by runway designs and high-end labels, my goal is to stay within a reasonable budget anytime I am making a purchase for myself.  Here I am sharing three fall items I am looking to add to my closet- a blue animal print dress, some amazing black wedge boots, and a great cobalt bag.  While the designer items pictured below would definitely be in my dream closet, I am happy to share the similar items I have found with budget-friendly ticket prices.  So go ahead, desire all those designer pieces, and acquire inspired items at great prices!
