jewelry display

i picked up a few vintage jewelry pieces this week and instead of storing them in boxes or in my dresser i wanted to display them. putting jewelry in tea cups or bowls keeps it organized and it looks pretty on a dresser or nightstand. so i decided to put some of my new and old jewelry pieces in a couple bowls from anthropolgie. the inside out bowls (here) and lattes bowls (here) are perfect for storing and displaying jewelry.  

DANNIJO at vintage show

a big shout out to hector for finding this video on the manhattan vintage fashion show and the DANNIJO sisters, which i posted about earlier this week (here). 

vogue corner

i love the idea of dedicating a corner or hallway in a home to everything vogue. framing vintage vogue covers, and stacking design books on a leopard print stool makes the perfect seating area to flip through the latest issue of vogue.

founded by sisters danielle and jodie synder in 2008, DANNIJO jewelry (purchase here)is hand-made in new york. DANNIJO is an eclectic collection of mixed metals, neon fabrics, crystals, quartz, and pearls. the pieces in the collection are effortless elegant that can be paired with anything from a t-shirt to a gown. the DANNIJO girl wears a statement necklace like the vauna necklace to work, and then after work she adds a couple layered bracelets like the edana and sloane bracelets and a pair of earrings like the phillipa earrings to meet her boyfriend for dinner and drinks. everything in the collection is a statement piece that makes for the perfect transitional piece, day into night.

picture frames and printed pillows

there are so many things i love about this elle decor living room. framing things like my favorite quotes, art, and photographs, make a room feel more personal and intimate. one of my favorite things to do in a room is to mix prints and patterns like printed pillows and throws. also, stacking art books on a table instantly adds a pop of color to a room.

i have been on the hunt for charm necklaces, and i found these dainty and delicate charm necklaces by stella & dot, that are  everything i have been looking for. i wear the on the mark necklace (here), the after midnight necklace (here) and the ever after necklace (here), layered together and all the necklaces completely complimented one another. what i love most about these charm necklaces is that they can be worn alone or layered.

proenza, please.

the proenza schouler spring 2012 collection has such sophisticated prints with edgy leather finishes. from striped  blouses and shorts in mustard yellow and mossy brown shades, to vintage floral printed dresses and skirts, the proenza schouler collection is reminiscent of 1950's resort.
