Mint Brass Necklace

Mint green is one of my color weaknesses. Honestly. Make anything this calm, cool color and I’m all about it. Today it’s this brilliant mint brass necklace from Kim Dulaney. I’m working on building up my jewelry collection with pieces I can throw on with anything and feel awesome. This needs to be a part of it.

CODE Rings

 Lulu Frost always has the best pieces, I fell in love with her and her work years ago. It had been awhile since I’d seen anything new when these CODE rings popped up on my radar. The number four is my favorite/lucky number and I love how subtle the design is on it in particular.

I’d been meaning to make my own rope bracelet all summer, when I came across junghwa and accepted that it was never going to happen. My order showed up in my mailbox Monday in a little pouch with a wooden tag attached and a coupon for my next purchase. I ordered the I Love Knots bracelet, and even though I have small wrists it felt a little snug. I’m counting on the ropes to stretch a bit as I wear it, but otherwise I couldn’t be happier with my purchase.

Happy Weekend (from Seattle)

By the time you’re reading this I’ll be Seattle-bound for a little event I’ve been invited to attend. I’ve never been to the PNW before and am incredibly stoked. Not only to get to do a few awesome things I’d never be able to do otherwise, but also to meet up with some bloggers and my BFF from junior high during the two days I’ll be in town. This girl’s got a good life. On that note, I’m leaving you with an extremely fantastic/extended list of links you’ll want to be sure and click on.
