Horn Combs
My association of hair combs is limited to a pair of red plastic ones I had as a kid. These beautiful horn combs from Rick Owens change all of that. Each one even comes it its own suede case. Decadence of the first degree. (via Simone LeBlanc)

Bow Bracelets
PHOTO + TUTORIAL: Melissa Esplin/ISLY
I’m digging this decidedly more feminine take on the season’s wrap bracelets. Melissa used patent leather, but I’m sure anything with a similar heft and weight would work. Check out how to make three variations on your own over at I Still Love You.

Scout & Catalogue Clutches

Scout & Catalogue’s pieces are heavily influenced by the bohemian beach culture of Mexico – what I wouldn’t give for that laid back lifestyle!I’m completely smitten with their no nonsense clutches. (via Greedy Girl)

Eternal Youth Bracelets
If these festive Eternal Youth Bracelets hold true to their name, I’ll fill both wrists and ankles with them. And if not, well, at least my wrist will look pretty all summer long.

betsy & iya
Above all things betsy & iya feels authentic, and if you’re authentic I’m interested. Their pieces manage to feel both ancient and modern at the same time, no small task. Every piece is handmade with attention to detail and hand-engraved at Betsy’s shop in Portland by her and her helper, Lupe.

Summer Totes
Summer bags need to be big, big enough that you can toss in a bottle of sunscreen, a beach towel, and a trashy novel. Preferably they’re also light or bright, we’ve had enough overcast colors by this time of year. They need to be easily slung over a tan shoulder, and just as easily tossed into the sand or grass. Some are fabric, some leather, some straw, but one thing is for certain – by summer’s end they’re all well-loved and worn out.

Silicone Gemstone Necklaces
These silicone gemstone necklaces from Ed Thongprasert are something else, traditional gem shapes in a highly unexpected material. I love that they could be worn with a white tee or something more dressy, either way a guaranteed conversation piece. Available through Olive Shoppe. (via HonestyWTF)

NYX
I’m sort of a professional makeup hoarder on the side. I love experimenting with new colors, new products, new techniques – all of it. Most days I stick to a fairly natural look, with the exception of some serious black eyeliner on my upper lids (that I’m convinced makes me look more awake). But when it’s time for a night out or a big event anything goes.
Saturday I made a run to ULTA for some face wash in lieu of Sephora. It turned out to be a fortuitous trip when I decided to look around and came upon a line I’d never heard of before, NYX. On a whim I picked up two lip colors. I’ve been on a never-ending search for the perfect red for well over six months, so who knew I’d find it in a $4.99 lipstick pencil. I’d also been lusting over NARS Schiap for almost as long, but wasn’t willing to dish out the $25. Lo and behold, here was my solution for under ten bucks! I’ll definitely be checking out more of their products in the future.
