numero uno.

when i spotted these number rings on the j. crew tumblr it was love at first sight... but the $440 price tag?    not so much.

these catbird alphabet rings might not be an exact iteration, but at $88 a pop they're a worthy substitute.

Здравствуйте!

sorry for the silence, i spent the last week in russia!  i saw the kremlin and the inside of many, many malls (for work.)  it was an interesting experience to say the least.

despite the time spent in shopping malls, i didn't come home from russia with keepsakes (other than a persistent sore throat and sniffles.)  between the vat tax and the lack of time, i decided to save my purchases for american soil.

i love a dainty bracelet or necklace... after losing 1 too many nashelle bracelets (my necklace is still going strong) i might convert to gorjana  for my delicate doodads...  aren't these pretty?



all available at shopbop.

sparkly pretties.

i love these pomellato nudo rings... but they're way out of my price range.

i think these less expensive baubles would make worthy contenders...

although they're not rings, these kate spade earrings share the pomellato ring's faceted lure and candy-like color quality.

all wrapped up.

i finally caved today and bought something that's been on my ever-evolving "want" list for a while: a rachel leigh audrey bracelet.  i first spotted these little beauties over at summer is a verb and when it was featured again today, my love was rekindled and i knew it was time to bite the bullet.

i have a thing for bows... what can i say?

smitten.

feast your eyes on this:

i found this beautiful monogrammed jewel box over at the pursuit of style.  who wouldn't want one of these?  the pink and coral colors look even more beautiful with the bright turquoise baubles spilling out of the box.

after perusing the leontine website, i can safely say there are very few things i wouldn't want to receive.  

here are some of my favorite finds... 

napkins.

shams and bedding...  come on.

towels, get serious.

the travel cases are the best.

and of course the jewel box that drew me to the site in the first place.

which item is your favorite?

the perfect pair.

i spent hours looking for the perfect pair of wedding-day earrings... i was leafing through an old issue of martha stewart weddings when i discovered bounkit.

i was searching for a pair of earrings that were sparkly and worthy of a special occasion. Nothing that would be me feel like a little girl playing dress-up with costume jewelry. i think bounkit fits the bill.

i just received shipping confirmation for my lovely pair (which shall remain a mystery for approximately 100 days.)

all available at bounkit.
