{... have long ago started collecting vintage evening purses as it is so pretty to add a bit of sparkle and uniqueness when stepping out after dark... so completely fell for these beauties...}
{... with the temperature at a high of 32˚C today (feels like 45), I thought it befitting to post these beautiful beach and pool side photographs, selected from the photographer's Global Summer series... what beautiful photographic technique. Which do you prefer beach-side or pool-side?}
{nearly fell off my chair when I stumbled upon this beautiful lucite and graphic print tray, beautifully compartmentalized to hold jewelry, or small treasures... lovely!}
{lovely grown-up one-of-kind woven friendship bracelets and necklaces adorned with vintage, estate rhinestones and flea market finds... perfect for the upcoming holidays}
{founded in 1988, Porta Romana, a UK based atelier, is devoted to creating objects of beauty and draws on the finest skills of glassblowing, metalworking, sculpting and furniture making... below are my favourite selections...}
{... stunning rings in either 22 karat gold or platinum with diamonds, intricately designed by Cathy Waterman with inspiration drawn from nature, whether it be a reflection in the clouds, or images in puddles of water...}
{first became aware of Reed Krakoff's debut collection and tweeted about it some time ago... love the details and color combinations ~ of muted olive green with cobalt blue, teal, gray and more muted olive green, winter white ~ of lovely details, such as cashmere and chiffon cardigan and tees, hazel beaver gloves, military lace up boots, gorgeous dove leather and fur sandals, gray flannel tuxedo pants, mohair knit collars with leather trim and dreamy totes in an array of materials such as haircalf, glazed ostrich and my favourite, cognac hand-burnished alligator felt bag... stunning!}
