holiday wish list

arrow jewelry has been on my secret wish list for awhile. today, i came across work from two different artists, (of)matter and moorea seal.

1- spike triangle drop earring, $22, (of)matter
2- arrowhead ring, $20, moorea seal
3- arrowhead necklace, $27, moorea seal 
4- brass arrow triangle earring, $22, (of)matter

i would not have come across these pieces if it weren't for the blog, door sixteen. she's promoting buying from local artists for the holidays. if only i could afford these things right now.

etsy finds

 i have been wanting to buy myself a skinny band for awhile now. (top) 14k gold band by colby june, $95 each; (middle) trio of brass rings by rui and aguri, $95, and (bottom) recycled rose gold band by joelle, $66. I like the last one. the band is actually rounded.

wishlist

beautiful, isn't it?  this oval bezel ring ($265) is by blanca monros gomez and one day i would like to buy myself one.

more urges

              poketo mini planner, $10 (each).  planners and organizers are one of my favorite things.
                               perfect size, perfect price. i'd like one, please.

shopping

i hadn't done any shopping for a very long time.  then suddenly in the last month alone, spent around $100.  i'm still having urges.  like this clutch from topshop, $56.  i'm really loving it, too. it also comes with a removable strap. sigh.

my simple holiday outfit

are you ready for the holidays?

the perfect black clutch/shouder bag.  marc jacobs, $328.

southern california cool meets parisian chic

  i googled los angeles fashion week to see what was coming.  instead i ended up reading about a past show.  l.a. fashion week is spread over a few venues.  one of the locations is the soho house in west hollywood.  i had heard about it while interning at an art gallery and through l.a. fashion week, it has come up again.  it truly is a very beautiful venue.  the designer(s) who showed there was of two minds.  one of the designers is from paris.  the esthetic of two minds is, described in the words of the designers,

"[...] the relaxed glamour of Los Angeles is artfully blended with the urban sophistication of Paris.

St. Germain des Pres meets Malibu."

i have to say, that is the first time those two styles have been merged by a designer and the end result is quite gorgeous.  the look above is my favorite from the current collection.  it's beautiful and simple.  unfortunately i can't afford these pieces.  though i'm sure i can re-create it...

wish list item no. 1

when i am employed again, i will buy this.  can't wait :)
