lovely dresses from sarahseven. so pretty, so girly and so sophisticated.

tribal

next spring is going to be about big bold accessories (when isn't it all about the big accessories?) and tribal seems to be the theme, but i think i want to start wearing this collection right now.
i love these pieces from missoma. the designs are inspired by apache indian tribal motifs and organic forms. i was drawn to the colours of the stones and i'm really into gold right now, even though they're saying silver is the new gold because it's cheaper. (i just think it looks so nice with everything!)

rings and things

came across the site, the three graces, today while doing some research....a-m-a-z-i-n-g!
i love antique jewellery and even covet the baubles of my grandmother, and sometimes i am fortunate enough that she bestows a treasure from her decadent vintage collection upon me.
this site features antique pieces from the victorian era to art deco to modernist. my favorite things are the rings! it's also neat for someone looking for antique engagement rings because they are all so unique.

flaunt it if you got it

smart and stylish displays I would love to have and show off my bling in. ;)

anyways, check out this cool site. real people, real fashion, real neat!

papercuts

Artist Elsa Mora's whimsical Papercut designs. {Check out her shop here}

it's a girl thing...

I received my new Domino mag. and after reading the little spread about vanities, fell in love. I want one! Don't know how the mr. would feel about it in our way open open-concept pad that we are trying to keep gender neutral, but I think I need to find a way to work one into our boudoir.

These were my favorites, probably because they are so girly, and jewellery laden.....

stamps & tags

Beautifully illustrated stamps from present&correct as well as cute gift tags, sorry but I have christmas gifts on my mind and am searching for ideas....sad.

something to celebrate

I know I'm not getting married anytime soon, but how amazingly beautiful are these invitations from kenzieKate?! I want to have a bunch of parties just to send these out, I mean it's important to celebrate occasions such as paying off my Visa, right?

lille {a shop}

Lilleashop.com is so much fun to shop on! It's full of eye candy and showcases work from the likes of Lisa Neimeth, Melissa Joy Manning and Kiln Enamel just to name a few.

My fav. piece; Hand embroidered and beaded turquoise and crystal necklace. Designed by Dori Csengeri from Tel Aviv. Stunning, I think his craftsmanship is like none other.


This beautiful decorative plate also caught my eye, among tonnes of other gorgeous plates and tableware. Designed by John Derian, an avid collector of antique fruit, flower and animal prints, hand-paints borders over centuries-old ledgers and letters.

matthew williamson, *le sigh*

I get such a warm feeling from the clothes Williamson makes, his prints are amazing and the silhouettes are something I can for sure wear. I love his work for Pucci and especially am loving this Fall/Winter collection from his own label, if only I had the champagne budget to drown myself in his clothing. I need these clothes, I need the whole collection!!!! (Minus the furry stuff because, ethically, I cannot call that fashion.)

omg!

Hasbro is celebrating My Little Pony's 25th anniversary with the "My little Pony Project" where 25 artists design a Pony. The project is to raise funds for "Give Kids the World Village" and each Pony is auctioned off for the charity.
On the site there is only a taste of what has been created; I like the one by Catalina Estrada the most. xo

:) update :)

so, I actually picked up the shoes I was lusting for on friday after work when I found them in a store in NDG....sweet. 

kicks

I'm always telling Joe I don't care that much about sneakers, especially not as much as he covets them. Although....I'm really wanting these Nike aerofits. shhhh, don't tell him!

summer lovin'

So these are my colours of summer. The picture really just does not give justice to how neon these colours really are, seriously they are so bright and I love 'em. xo

new purchase

I'm so excited; I just bought this uber adorable headband on etsy from lou and lee. I can't wait until it gets here!

way cool

I love this wall mounting designed by Vanessa Hannen which was made to be a display for jewellery and accessories. It doesn't use electricity but creates an "aura" by reflecting the light in it's environment...so cool!

loves it

I absolutely loved Back to the Future as a kid and if I were rich I would snap this actual Hover Board movie prop up in a second, it's a steal with a starting bid of $30 000! (The hoverboard was the coolest thing about the movies, as well as his awesome "futuristic" shoes!)
