Geometric Cosmetics

You know I love a good geometric pattern. And Sonia Kashuk totally hit the Target (i got jokes, i know) with her new geo line of cosmetic cases. Aren't these darling? My makeup brushes would be oh-so-happy to live in one of these.

Snow Day Essentials

Who doesn't love a snow day? While it's not exactly "snow", but more along the lines of "sleet" here in Charleston, I'm loving this snow day because I did not have to work! Here are a few of my favorite snow day essentials for staying warm and having fun...

Christmas Favorites: Part 1

Whoa. The hustle and bustle of holiday season has had me running around and definitely keeping busy. Since I'm overly obsessed with Christmas and love decorating for the holidays, I wanted to share some of my favoite things with you all! Growing up my mother and grandmother have always collected Byers' Choice Christmas Carolers...which has led to my own collection. I love how each one is so different with their own unique details. All grouped together, they make for a lovely, cheerful display on a mantle, dresser, side table or wherever your heart desires. Do any of you collect carolers too?!

Just a few of my Christmas Caroler lovelies!

Ornamental Sparkle

One of my all time favorite things about Christmas is decorating the tree and relishing in the memories that each ornament holds. As I carefully place my beloved treasures upon the tree, I quickly find myself lost in those special memories. Whether it be the vast collection of Hallmark Holiday Barbie ornaments that I received annually from my grandmother, handmade creations from my school years, or those purchased in towns I've visited..each one holds a special place in my heart. What better way to remember those blessed occasions than with an ornament! Here are some of my favorites that would sparkle up any tree...

Elephants Everywhere

Elephants, Elephants, Everywhere! From bangles and cuffs, to brooches and cufflinks. A great elephant statement piece certainly trumpets fun for fall...

Quelle heure est-til?

Time flies. My blog has been oh-so-bare lately as time has completely escaped me. I traveled home this past weekend and had such a relaxing time with the family. Now it's back to the grind with work, work, work...and some play. It's that time of year in the lowcountry when the beach is constantly calling my name. Once I find some time to catch up on things, I hope to bring more exciting, inspiring blog posts and perhaps sewing tutorials for all of you. For now, I leave you with these unique little timepieces. How have you been spending your time?!




*Francais anyone? Non? Quelle heure est-til = what time is it?

Jadeite

I am totally dying to get my hands on some vintage jadeite dishware. These pieces are so simple and soothing to the eye. I would love to fill up a shabby chic cupboard with these creamy, swoon-worthy goods. Jadeite has unlimited multi-purpose uses as well. Use teacups, canisters, or bowls as storage containers to bring life to your everyday items. Imagine jadeite goblets filled with pens, pencils or make-up brushes, a teacup housing a vintage button collection, or an apothecary jar displaying beautiful soaps in your bathroom. The possibilites are endless. Don't you just adore the calming qualities of these pieces?
