Meet Pearl. Special needs Great Dane we rescued. Both blind and deaf….and possibly has some mountain goat in her DNA. We find her in some wacky places!

Have you heard about Shoptagr.com, the fabulous free service that lets you save items from your favourite online shopping sites to one place then notifies when they go on sale (including coupon codes) or when an item comes back in stock. You really must download the free apps for your computer and mobile phone. Thousands of savvy shoppers are already browsing their favourite sites and using Shoptagr to help them bag a bargain. It’s easy. When you see an item you like, click the Shoptagr icon from your bookmarks bar and confirm details like size, colour and desired discount level.

It’s fabulous for compiling fashion wish lists but it’s just as great for keeping track of all those home decor pieces you really, really want but would really, really like to buy for less. We all love a bargain and Shoptagr gives you the edge. Tagged items are arranged in a clean, Pinterest-style page where you can organize products into collections. I’m hunting for bargains for a glam makeover of my living room and to drag my embarrassingly dull guest room from drab to fab.

It only takes a second to install on your browser and is SO easy to use. Can you imagine how great this is going to be for managing and organizing your Holidays wish list? OMG think how cool this will be for Black Friday/Cyber Monday! Sales are always limited by time/stock – with Shoptagr you will be the FIRST to see those sales (immediate/live notifications) before your item goes out of stock. AND you can share items with your friends and family.

Iphone and Android apps have just been released, so you can save items to your watch list on the go while window-shopping. Shoptagr’s retail partners include Crate&Barrel, Ikea, Houzz, One Kings Lane, West Elm, Terrain and so many mores—and the list continues to grow—making it an all-encompassing tool for any online shopper. The best part? Thanks to Shoptagr.com savvy shoppers can now spend less time obsessively stalking bargains and more time doing the fun part— finding new items to covet.

It sits solidly on the site like the sandstone outcrops which are a feature of the Sydney landscape. This substantial family home at Palm Beach by Bentley Design is evocative of beach side living but not in the sense of driftwood and sea foam, more stone against the wind and spray. Beautiful position, beautiful home to suit.

This house is a total dream!!! OMG! A living room with the most beautiful dark walls (and that mirror! that chandelier!), a new spacious kitchen, a rustic boho dining room (with THREE vintage chandeliers!!! and exposed brick!), original/reclaimed wood walls, white painted wood floors, a Victorian ‘decaying’ bedroom, gorgeous tile in the bathroom… this is eclectic style that cannot be beat. LOVE!!! Via Shoot Factory. 

What? Another weekend spent at work? Bummer! As I always say, if you have to drag yourself into work on a Saturday it better be somewhere stylish. Pluck PR firm by Squarehouse Studios.
