Loving the leatherwork of aficionado Chloe Townsend, she has a great way of experimenting with color and texture under her label Missibaba that I can’t get enough of. She’s also super passionate about South Africa and supporting the local industries there, which makes buying her pieces feel that much better. {via Shiny Squirrel}

My aunt is an elementary school librarian by day and a lace maker by night. She’s been creating really beautiful work for the last twenty years or so and one Christmas she even made me my own lace pillow, round with burgundy velvet and nail head detailing around the edge. It was gifted in a canvas bag with straight pins, lace patterns, the works. The only thing was… I was ten and never really got into it. That hasn’t stopped me from appreciating the time and skill required to create such intricate pieces and admiring their beauty.These necklaces (and bracelets and earrings) from White Owl by Spivak & Spivak are gorgeous and perfectly within my price range, which I happily found a little surprising.

You didn’t know that was an actual medical condition, did you? Huh, well, I assure you it is. I’ve already broken out my favorite, have you?

I love this sweet, delicate amethyst point. It’s set directly atop a sterling silver band with two sturdy tube rivets and completely magical. I’m smitten. Be sure to check out all the other lovely crystal rings from Stone & Honey when you get a chance.
Threadless turns ten this year and is celebrating with the release of their very first book. Read up on how Jake Nickell’s accidental company was born, explore a collection of killer graphics, and see profiles of individual designers who’ve played a part in the four-million tees that have been printed and sold since that fateful day in 2000. Then put it on your coffee table and watch your friends ask where they can get their own.
I’m in lust with this big, beautiful Tre Anita glass ring. The clear with the silver underlay is my favorite. And for each big, beautiful ring purchased they’ll plant a tree that’s sure to become big and beautiful. (I’m not sure how that’s connected to their product, but still very cool.)

Out of Print’s shirts feature iconic, sometimes out of print book covers and are treated to feel soft and worn like a well-read book. They also do their part to acknowledge that many parts of the world don’t have access to books and are working to change that. For each shirt sold one book is donated to a community in need through Books For Africa.

Pixel Girl is where I’m drawing this year’s Halloween costume inspiration from. Do you think it’s okay to dress up for Halloween when you’re 75? Because I probably still will.

I’m all about browns and peachy hues this fall, they’re warm and feminine while remaining subtle. I’m also all about ruffles in moderation. And making things that look straight out of Anthropologie. Case in point, this DIY Ruffle Necklace. Obviously you could use whatever sorts of colors or patterns you’d like, but I’m partial to this version. {via 100 Layer Cake}
