When pressed to name my favorite shape I inevitably go with the circle. I like its fluid line, how there’s no real start or end to it all. But these days, at least in my own personal shape race, the triangle is closing the lead. It’s like the more angular, striking sister to the circle and I think I’m ready to have more of her in my life.

My aunt is an elementary school librarian by day and a lace maker by night. She’s been creating really beautiful work for the last twenty years or so and one Christmas she even made me my own lace pillow, round with burgundy velvet and nail head detailing around the edge. It was gifted in a canvas bag with straight pins, lace patterns, the works. The only thing was… I was ten and never really got into it. That hasn’t stopped me from appreciating the time and skill required to create such intricate pieces and admiring their beauty.These necklaces (and bracelets and earrings) from White Owl by Spivak & Spivak are gorgeous and perfectly within my price range, which I happily found a little surprising.

I love this sweet, delicate amethyst point. It’s set directly atop a sterling silver band with two sturdy tube rivets and completely magical. I’m smitten. Be sure to check out all the other lovely crystal rings from Stone & Honey when you get a chance.
I’m in lust with this big, beautiful Tre Anita glass ring. The clear with the silver underlay is my favorite. And for each big, beautiful ring purchased they’ll plant a tree that’s sure to become big and beautiful. (I’m not sure how that’s connected to their product, but still very cool.)

I’m all about browns and peachy hues this fall, they’re warm and feminine while remaining subtle. I’m also all about ruffles in moderation. And making things that look straight out of Anthropologie. Case in point, this DIY Ruffle Necklace. Obviously you could use whatever sorts of colors or patterns you’d like, but I’m partial to this version. {via 100 Layer Cake}

I love that this necklace. 3 Spikes on a Chain is the perfect combination of rocker chick meets delicate. (The rest of the shop, Lady, is equally amazing.)
The O’Clock watch is silicon and comes in three sizes (small, medium & large) to fit anyone. It’s also water resistant. You can choose to wear it fitted like a standard watch or loose like a bracelet.
