Genius name for a company and tees that fit perfectly into my shirt fetish category. I’m really looking forward to Make Believe Studio’s major product launch this fall. You can purchase select shirts and sizes here in the meantime.
Quote Bag Studio is a teeny, tiny operation run out of Bangkok, Thailand by the lovely Jim and Vicki. Each and every bag is part of a few-of-a-kind batch and constructed out of quality textiles and leather.
This week one of you will have the chance to win a Quote 3 Ways Bag that can be converted into either a tote, messenger or shoulder bag by moving a few straps around. I love the contrasting brown leather accents with the bright blue and red canvas body.

Conroy & Wilcox is an independently owned New York-based company specializing in heirloom-quality jewelry. To say that I’m enamored with their unusual stones and cuts would be an understatement. To say that I’ve changed my mind yet again about gold would be nothing new around these parts.
Highs are in the 90s today, but I’m writing about scarves. Because I’m crazy. These pleated wool and gloss scarves from ALPHA60 are gorgeous, a main accessory all unto their own.
I wore a watch religiously starting in junior high and continuing throughout college. And then when I hit the workforce ground running I stopped. The world of keyboard trays has really managed to cramp my watch-wearing style with all of its banging, clanking and pinching. I’m hoping to get back in the saddle sometime soon, perhaps with Orient’s CEV09002B or CFM00001B. In the meantime, the ladies out there have the chance to win this pink-faced BNQ1P001M.

Bario-Neal Jewelry is a new to me shop, who uses reclaimed precious metals; ethically-sourced stones; and low-impact, environmentally conscious practices in crafting their gorgeous pieces. I love the raw feeling each one evokes, sort of like it was dug straight out of the earth. PS: Isn’t their packaging ridiculously amazing?!
Loving the equine goods look of fleabags, specifically The Original Flea. The organic cotton/hemp canvas looks super durable and the leather handles are designed to gain a natural patina with wear and tear over time. It’s also fully lined and has four nickel feet to protect the leather. And that midnight black silkscreen? Dying. {via Shiny Squirrel}
