Decorating Around My Duvet

Spring Break 2007 my mom and I ventured to Philadelphia for a few days and while visiting we stopped at an Ikea, at which I purchased my lovely and vibrant duvet cover.  Said duvet cover has now seen me through 3 Chicago apartments, a 4 month long move to Charleston, SC, and its next big adventure will be to the Big Apple. This time I vow to fully settle in and make the place my home.  In order to do this I plan on purchasing a couple of rugs, something I've always wanted to add to my rooms (3/4 of them have had wood floors) but I can never commit to because they're so expensive.  Today I came across a few at Urban Outfitters that I'm considering.

Pictured above is my duvet cover, stripes of purple, orange and a touch of citrus populate the fabric.  What do you think about these, and the possibility of layering the rugs to multiply floor coverage?  




The chevron rug is the largest (also probably the busiest), I wish Urban had it available in a dark purple...but would it be completely crazy to do the orange chevron and then these two smaller rugs (that are both under $40)?  I'm just not sure what else to do.


Also throwing this last one is as a wildcard entry, because it's pretty awesome.  Does anybody have suggestions, or ideas of where to find inexpensive rugs?  

P.S. this is my 100th blog post on SartorialRoadmap.blogspot.com.  Thanks for continuing to read,, I can't wait to see what the new year holds!

Residents of the Runway: HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!

Within a week of being in Charleston I noticed a couple of permanently patriotic residences and immediately decided that a 4th of July specific post had to happen.  Then I remembered a certain Chanel collection from spring 2008 that was inspired by some all-american stars and stripes!  Check out these All-American beauties!





Chanel Spring 2008 ready-to-wear showed some love to our star-spangling nation, and if Karl can do it you can too!  Below is a dress for the ladies and some Vans for the dudes at Urban Outfitters so that you can outfit yourself for a continued patriotic summer (the dress is only $19.99!!).  I painted my nails blue last night, except for one nail that got the sparkle treatment (ya know...like for fireworks), what will you wear this weekend to show how much you love the US of A??
