Charlotte Moss Bangles

Ever since I picked up a Kate Spade bangle on Ebay (totally random green one I never thought I'd wear as often as I do), I've acquired a bit of a thing for enamel bangles.

And how cute are these Charlotte Moss bangles for Halcyon Days?





I don't like to go TOO Lily Pulitzer with the pastel preppiness (I live in the DC area, which in certain circles can go a little overboard with this summer look) - but that pink one is so sweet.

Looks like I have a new Ebay search item...

Elle Decor's A-Team (Part III)

Stop by and let me know what you think of the list (or of these specific designers)!

Needful Things: Nadinoo

How gorgeous are these designs in Liberty prints?

SOLD!

Remember when I agonized over the Rennes metallic silver market bag vs. the powder blue bucket bag?

Then time passed and the blue bucket was snapped up by someone else.

THEN I did a more thorough Etsy search for a good tote and found several other options (including that original metallic silver market bag).

Then more time passed and I was still unable to commit.

THEN I got an e-mail from Rennes saying that they were having a 20-50% off sale.

So guess what I bought?

The Metallic Silver Market Bag (30% off!)

Lessons learned:
1. You almost always end up buying the first thing you like.
2. You are sometimes rewarded for laziness.
3. Rennes is having a great sale right now - check it out!

Now I just wonder if it will arrive in time for BlogHer...

Rediscovered Etsy Shops

Do you add Etsy shops to your favorites with wild abandon and then promptly forget about them? Me too! So every once in a while I try to browse through my list and reacquaint myself with those forgotten treasures.

This time around, a couple of jewelry shops caught my eye.

First, Elephantine. I have a thing for delicate chains with simple little pendants.

Like this one:

eastern holiday

I could wear that pretty much every day.

But another item really charmed me - a take on the best friends necklace from middle schools past:

you and me

Might have to keep both for myself though...

Another shop was Pradman Jewelry.

I would LOVE to buy one of these:

personalized monogram pendant

I have a serious thing for monograms...

I also want one of these rings:

Prehnite and Moonstone (a combo)


Chrysoprase (single)

How about you? Do you have any favorite Etsy shops that recently resurfaced?

Best Vineyard Website EVER

I can't remember where I found this link... But Swanson Vineyards has the most creative, charming website I've ever seen. Wine, family owned businesses, wine, chic in the know people, wine... It's all there and wrapped up in the prettiest package of THIS!









Can you believe I've never been to Napa? We've been meaning to go for years, but then the kids came and...well, maybe in a few more years. It's a little dream of mine - love the attainable ones, don't you?

Visit Swanson Vineyards HERE, as well as their fantastic blog about Napa: Alexis' Napa.


And speaking of wine - I'm part of a group called The Clever Girls 1000 and we're currently launching The Clever Girl's Wine Club. I'll be announcing discounts on wines as they are released (every two to four weeks) and will try to post reviews as well. Check out the current listings and let me know what you think. I'm placing my own order now...

Two GREAT Sales!

First - one from Wishing True favorite, Kathlin Argiro (her wrap dresses are MAGIC and worth every penny - especially when they're on SALE!)

Click image to enlarge details or click HERE.

Then of course is is the Summer Sale at Rikshaw Design (up to 50% off). The baby stuff is adorable - but I simply must have one of the "mom's" kurtas!

Currently on sale:





Now I just have to decide which ones I like best...

Pretty Paper Good[nes]s

These make me happy.
