elephantine jewelry

i was given this necklace as a gift this past christmas (thanks b!) instantly smitten, i asked where it was from and was told it was from a shop on etsy called elephantine. all of the jewelry in the shop is beautiful, simple and delicate. the kind of jewelry you can wear with anything. a few of my faves below.

i was doing some research online (seriously i was, that’s not a euphemism for gorging on fashion blogs and sites) when i came across this. love it! i think each paillette is the size of my head! ok not really. but close.

i love when something is made completely out of scale, be it very very oversized or teeny tiny.

snowy day provisions

it’s a snowy day. not too cold and not too windy, just steady snow laying a soft white blanket over everything. i’d love to curl up on the couch wearing this sweater, these socks and wrapped up in this blanket.

not only beautiful…

this milk bottle from alyssa ettinger is one of my favorite handmade possessions. i love it for its beauty and simplicity, i love that it’s from brooklyn and because alyssa is a friend and i think everything she makes is pretty great.

this morning while reaching to get a book off of a shelf i knocked my milk bottle over and it tumbled to the floor! i was sure it was going to be in pieces. i looked down and there it was at my feet, not a scratch or a nick.

so not only are they beautiful but sturdy as hell.

loving right now… nautical stripes

you can find the shirts here and here. you can find the dress here.

shoe lust

i’m not a shoe girl. really, i’m not. well, i was. once. i’m a reformed shoe girl? i’ve just gotten too practical over time. and i’ll be the first to admit comfort wins out over style these days. heels are surely a thing of my past.

but these! oh my god! look at these shoes!!! they’re too gorgeous, too over the top, too fabulous. and i love them.

karen barbé

last night i was wandering through flickr. looking at photos from my contacts and their contacts and so on… and then i stumbled across the work of karen barbé. my first thought was how amazing it is - the use of color, the mixture of motifs - really beautiful work. and then i also thought, haven’t i seen this somewhere before? i think i must have seen her on another blog. so if you have already seen her work, my apologies for the repeat, but if you haven’t you should definitely take a few minutes to check out karen’s shop.

and speaking of feathers

a painting that i had been working on just last week. i guess i’ve sort of had feathers on my mind for awhile now.

love this!

wow. i mean really, wow. i’ve got a soft spot for feather necklaces, as you can see here. a little online browsing yesterday and i came across this one. love.
