Rainbow Multi Disk Necklace
This candy-like necklace is made of vintage German glass from the 1920s and 30s, silk and silver. So in love. (via Miss Modish)

Wood Ikat Cards
I’m crazy about these wood ikat cards from INK + WIT! They’re flats that don’t fold and each one comes with a gold envelope for sending. I think a set would look lovely framed and put on display, too. Well done, Tara!

Lulu Frost for JCrew
99% sure I’m behind on these Lulu Frost for JCrew art deco jewelry pieces, but I’m digging the resurgence of Great Gatsby style so I’m sharing regardless. I’d like four through six on my wrist, please!

Gem Mirror
I’d probably hang this beauty of a mirror horizontally above my fireplace. A little girly, a little art deco, a lot coveted.

A Good List
It hasn’t taken me long to realize that freelancing requires a completely different sort of organization than my old 9-to-5. I’ve always been a big list-maker, but now it’s even more imperative that I have things in order and prioritized. I really like Mateo Ilasco’s To-Do List and Weekly Notepads, they’re well-designed and organized and perfect for this new path in my life.

Nesting Steel Shot Cups
Loving the smart industrial design behind these nesting steel shot cups from Wintercheck Factory. Yes they’re meant for alcohol, but just think of everything you could use them for in between benders! I’m already plotting who’ll be the lucky soul to receive a set come the holidays.

Design Crush 3.0
Welcome to the latest incarnation of Design Crush!
Once again I had the pleasure of working with Cooper Multimedia during the three month process of giving the site a facelift. Tim and Erin are a dream and really helped me with making my vision a reality. When we started in July I thought I knew exactly how I wanted things to look, but it’s funny how they translate once they’re on screen versus a piece of paper. That’s something I will never get used to as a designer. But between the three of us we made it here and I am very, very happy.
Some new features:
• A press page! Still a work in progress and completely surreal to compile.
• Simplified horizontal navigation at the top of the page. (The rollovers are one of my favorite parts!)
• A new social media icon link to me on Pinterest.
