Making Space

It is so easy to become distracted by the hectic lives we live, leaving us wondering where the time has gone. Suddenly we glance at the clock + realize that we have gone through the whole day...+ what do we have to show for it. While flipping through Domino magazine at the checkout I came across an article entitled '9 Tips For Establishing A Creative Space' + the light went off. Take a look at this article + take some time for yourself in the beautiful space you create. This is a great way to work on or complete those projects you have always wanted to take on but 'never find the time to'

Citrine By The Stones

Go to bythestones.com to check out this totally rad jewelry line started by mother-daughter trio: Mary, Michelle + Joanne Stone. Our eyes were drawn to these remarkable statement pieces from across the room!  We met Joanne Stone today + simply fell in love with the Stones' eclectic, bold + creative take on fine jewelry. This is definitely a go to line for dramatic earrings + necklaces, as well as every-day staples. 

Havoc, Laguna Beach

So guess who scored so big...Me! While scouting the streets in Laguna I came across the coolest consignment store called Havoc on Ocean Ave. Among my little treasures: a funky Missoni dress, a Burburry skirt I swear has never been worn + a sweet little Madison Marcus silk tank. This is the type of place you check once a week to see what has turned up. While you are there, swing by the art store next door and then on down to Zinc Cafe to dish about your finds!

What You Got In That Bag?

Deadly Ponies is a supreme, lux, handmade line from New Zealand. We just love the fact that these women oversee each + every piece made + that they are built to last. They also have fabulous jewelery + belts!! Treat yourself, c'mon it is a new year.

It's all in the EYES ;)

Ladies, it is time to start thinking about putting the finishing touches on your New Years Eve look. No matter what you are doing (or wearing) you can make quite the statement with your eyes! As always we love a smoked eye with a nude lip, or a cool metallic trio on the lid. BUT, why not get a little daring + try a bit of both. A smokey eye with a pop of metallic in the corner gives a chic + sexy touch to any ensemble, + with a nude lip you don't need to worry about touching up your lipstick after the champagne toast(s).
