HOMEGOODS
My #1 spot for finding an incredible bargain is HomeGoods
hands down. Not every HomeGoods is a winner though. You
have to check the ones near you all out to see which is the
best to go to find a steal. Personally, I have been to probably 5
around me and 2 out of the 5 are sure winners. Visiting during
early store hours or on weekdays is better too so you don’t have
to deal with so much foot traffic. You want to take your time to
peruse every aisle without feeling rushed as you move items to
and fro. Some of my favorite finds here include candles,
artificial flowers, stationary, baskets, rugs and furniture!
H&M
A recently new spot added to my list that is well deserved. I
know, H&M, who would’ve thought? Don’t let your
expectations fool you though. H&M has some of the cutest and
trendiest pieces at prices that will make you want to add more
than 1 of the same item to your cart. +10 please! Being a
primarily fashion company makes them stand out. They always
know what’s going to be “in style” before it even hits the
market. I like to check out everything on their app. It’s way
easier to navigate than their site I think, and you can easily see
what’s new with just a tap of your finger. I recommend their
vases, kitchen items and decor.
HOME
ver since I received the keys to my first home I’ve been on
a home decor craze. To be honest, I’ve been reaching for
kitchen goods, flowers, vases, wall hangs and more instead
of fashion and beauty picks. I know—who is this woman and
what have you done with Cliche’s Beauty Director? Trust me, I’m still
me, just with a new obsession that you’ll want to join me in after you
read this. I get my interior design inspiration from so many outlets, but
most specifically from Pinterest and YouTuber Kate Spiers of Katelavie.
When decorating, I try to create a balance between an effortless, rustic,
artistic and playful living space. I alternate little details throughout the
seasons, some of which include adding artificial flower bouquets for
spring, warm tones for fall and fairy lights for winter. Now you may be
asking what about summer? For this season of sunshine I’m gravitating
towards fruit prints, wicker baskets, orange + pink combinations and
stripes. Are you feeling the vibes?
With all the decoration updates that can happen within a year,
keeping it affordable, while paying those bills, is a must. Over the past
year I’ve found spots that let me make the most of my buck with
high-quality and cutesy decor. Don’t allow yourself to be duped by
expensive ones that are marketed all over social media. If you’re looking
to make your summer home decor as hot as can be, without breaking a
sweat, take a browse for places + items you’ll want to call home sweet
home. BY VICTORIA OLMO
