Vial Necklace.
The vial necklace collection has such a magical amulet feel to it. Choose from compost, crude oil, holi powder, Pacific ocean and sand to wear around your neck as your own personal protection from the wrongs of evil. A collaboration between Alexandra Cassaniti and Unearthen.

Spratters & Jayne Scarves.
I was lucky enough to miss the first massive winter storm that rolled through OKC Christmas Eve, but I don’t think I’m going to have the fates on my side come Thursday. Yup, another one. With lots of snow and ice. Which immediately takes me back to my days growing up in Pennsylvania and throws me into Winter Mode: lots of layers with a heavy coat, hat, mittens and a scarf. Particularly one of these scarves from Spratters & Jayne. They’re handmade from 100% Peruvian Highland wool and come in three styles: cowl, lapel and tube. So chic it hurts.

Ego Award Ring.
I’ve had my eye on these customizable Ego Award Rings by Jimena Rios for a few months and just keep going back to them. The metal is gently curved to fit your finger comfortably. And you get to choose not only the word, but also the elastic ribbon you want the band of your ring made from. Oh so pretty.
Side Note: I believe the one with the orange band on the left says Bizcocho, which means cake or pastry in Spanish and is slang for cutie pie. Coincidentally, it is also the nickname I gave my MacBook… must be a sign to order today!

Bookbook.
As an admitted bibliophile and graphic designer attached at the hip to my MacBook, Twelve South’s Bookbook couldn’t be more up my alley. The inside is velvety soft, while the outside is a set of rigid hardback leather covers that sandwiches your MacBook inside for protection. The Bookbook looks good, functions well and is the perfect disguise should need be. Love it.

Shopping Losts.
Simon Attwater’s Shopping Losts are brilliant, genius and all of the above. He collects pieces of this and that, amongst them lost shopping lists that he turns into little treasures reflective of the originals. Misspellings, crossed out items and all.

Word: Daisy Chain.
third date {dinner at my place}
goosebumps + giddyness
he’s so lovely, I can’t stop smiling
the soufle has fallen, but he hasn’t noticed
I wonder if he can see my heart through this dress?
when he smiles he looks bashful, dark eyelashes looking down
fresh, new, uninterrupted love
this will make for a beautiful memory
always, in this moment
Thanks for the sweet words, Amber! You can read more of her lovely musings over at Daisy Chain.
