Precious metals

I just love a good piece of metal, and these beautiful pieces from jewelry designer Fay Andrada are the perfect accessory for summer. Pair them with simple tees and jeans or with a long summer dress, Fay's collection has a wonderful assortment to finish off any look. I would love a collection of these suippo bangles... she even offers special sizing, perfect for my tiny wrists!

DIY fabric bracelets

Moving is finally almost over!  We are still waiting to get our internet hook up, thankfully someone near me has wireless otherwise I would have gone crazy, just a day and a half in and I was already over 30 emails.  In the mean time I've been slowly unpacking and trying to figure out where everything is going to go.

One spot I need to get back up and running asap is my crafting space because these seemingly simple jersey knit bracelets from V and Co. are the perfect little accessory for summer.  I have teeny tiny wrists, so a DIY is perfect!  Do you have any projects lined up?  I've started an entire bookmark just for things I just have to try and its starting to get out of control.  But these babies, there are moving to the top.  You can see the entire DIY tutorial over at V and Co.

For the ladies

There is something about metal accessories that when painted, are incredibly charming and delicate, and these babies from Gleeful Peacock sure are delightful.  I am always on the hunt for fun accessories here and there, to me they are like shoes, you can never have too many options!   Handmade using vintage inspired metal pieces, designer Nikki has a lovely shop filled with wonderful color combos for any outfit.  And she does custom color orders!  This little pink headband reminds me of something you would find at Anthropologie, but for a way better deal!
