edgy meets tribal

rocket mountain cuff

center cabachon spike cocktail ring

spike ring

i bought myself an early birthday gift today, which was completely sporadic, but it seemed like it was meant to be, so i just couldn't resist. i've been eyeing the dogeared wishbone necklace ever since i got the peace sign necklace for my birthday a couple years ago. and when i saw the wishbone one today, i went for it. so, as i was shopping for my necklace, i stumbled across a couple really, really, good pieces that were hard to pass up, by i showed a little will power and only bought the necklace. house of harlow is one of my favorites when it comes to jewelry and their current collection is edgy meets tribal. the rocket mountain cuff (here) is perfect for layering with other bracelets and i haven't really seen anything else like it. the center cabachon spike cocktail ring (here) is the epitome of a cocktail ring, and such a statement piece with the large stone and spikes. the spike ring (here) is super edgy, but because of it's smaller scale i think it could be worn as an every day piece. if i had to choose just one piece to get, i think i love the spike ring the most. 

happy friday!

two of my staple accessories in my closet are the scarves that my friend ryan debonville of ryan debonville knitwear (here) and (here) knitted me for my last two birthdays (not the kind your grandma knits). these are my three favorite designs at the moment, and i'm loving the heather gray tones. his designs are timeless pieces, made out of lush wools and cashmeres that can be worn season after season. 

makeup 101

i'm in dire need of some new makeup. i've been using a combination of benefit and smashbox products, and i haven't really been impressed with any of it. what i desperately need at the moment is  a new foundation, mascara, and liquid eye liner. i would love some recommendations! 

hustle

scalloped

i'm hoping that my next purchase is a pair of scalloped shorts like these ones by j.crew. i would love a pair in a bright poppy and a basic black or navy. scalloped shorts are so feminine and quite frankly they should be the staple spring shorts. 

beaded

my hunt for a birthday outfit continues, but if i could find something like this beaded cardigan, it would be perfect to pair with a pair of black lace shorts that i already own. i'm crossing fingers that i find something in the next couple a weeks (because i have to!). 

more bracelets

this week i've been rocking some of the friendship bracelets i've made over the last couple of weeks. they're definitely my current favorite bracelets at the moment, because they add instant color, and are easy throw on with a couple gold bracelets.  

french nest

 

i'm working on a project this week which includes finding a rustic french inspired bench for an entry. i stumbled across this bench  by currey & co, and although it's too large for the space, i couldn't help but share it. i just thought it was completely sophisticated and elegant, and would work seamlessly in a sitting room or home office.
