antique and vintage beads

I just ordered these amazing antique beads and sequins and can't wait for them to arrive! The colors are gorgeous and they carry with them the history of the 1800s to the 1930s. They will make very unique additions to the necklaces I have been working on. Will post when they are done ^_^

The new "shine" collection by Scout & Catalogue is perfect for the upcoming holiday season and I am having trouble choosing a favorite piece! I currently have the constellation clutch, which I absolutely love and wear all the time. Decisions, decisions...

I love to draw and this is a great project to make something functional out of little 1" drawings.

creative home office inspiration

These home office spaces may be small but still have a large dose of creativity. I really need to get organized and create a space like this for my projects.

Bee Eadie's blog,  Atlantic-Pacific, is full of inspiring looks. She has a classic style but is not afraid to pile on the jewelry and mix high and low end items. I was only going to post a few pics from her blog, but kept finding more favorites! 

L.O.V.E. this top!
