Marais USA Espadrille Wedges

Do you ever find that perfect meant-to-be piece for your seasonal wardrobe that you can’t get out of your mind? These Marais USA Espadrille Wedges embody summer and I can’t stop thinking about the tomato red pair above. Without the wedge they’d be acceptable, without the delicate ankle strap maybe okay. But everything together is screaming JEANS! SKIRTS! SUNDRESSES! at me. On second thought, maybe I need to be more concerned about shoes talking to me than acquiring these.

DIY Delicate Bracelets


PHOTO + PROJECT: DaWanda

I love these tiny delicate bracelets. The instructions are in German, but if you don’t want to go through the trouble of translating they look simple enough to figure out from the photos.

(And once again, yellow gold. I’m turning into my mother.)

Proenza Schouler Wallet

This leather wallet from Proenza Schouler comes in a rainbow of colors, but I love this peachy pink for spring and summer. Lately I’m really getting into clutches, and because this wallet has no interior dividers it would make for an easy transition.

Three Wrap Bracelets

There’s something about summer and wearing loads of bracelets that just go together. They just scream bare arms, warm weather, and tan lines – sexy! I love these three wrap bracelets from amore valkyrie, especially the turquoise and orangey-red. They’re made of premium leather cord wrapped in bright 24k gold vermeil, sterling silver and Czech fire-polished beads.

Nervous System

 

 

 

I love these pieces from Nervous System. Jesse Louis-Rosenberg and Jessica Rosenkrantz find their inspiration from from science, art, and technology and result ends up looking incredibly organic. Practically as though the jewelry is part of your body.

Royal Wedding Procession Tote

Will and Kate’s wedding is exactly two weeks away. As I mentioned before, I’m sort of pumped and will definitely be in full-on nerd mode. Oh wait, I already am. Only this week did I realize it’s on a Friday (damn Brits) and that I’ll have to get up earlier than usual to watch the festivities. Somehow the idea of setting my alarm for 4am on a Saturday, drinking coffee in bed, and snuggling my pooch sounded better than what what will actually be happening. Me getting ready for work, trying to keep my eyes open, and not spilling coffee on myself.

While I won’t be purchasing any of the extravagant W + K items (RE: the terrifying fridge, the fake engagement ring, commemorative coinage, etc.), I find this illustrated tote of the wedding processions by House That Lars Built 100% acceptable.
