Let the light shine in

Thinking of new ideas for the apartement. I love how Pottery Barn mixes modern and antique styles...

How whimsical is this lamp?!?

I want these for a bbq to hold the cutlery and napkins

Can work as outdoor lighting or in door decoration

New project: find bells at flea markets and make this!

I have loved this lamp for awhile but the base is really wide so its hard to fit is my tiny apartement. Still adore it, someday...

Giving Me The Cold Shoulder

One shouldered dresses are popping up all over... a big trend for fall no doubt. These from netaporter are a bit (a lot) out of my price range but I'll be keeping an eye out for one that fits my budget.

Hop, Skip or Jumper?

The Jumper trend has intrigued me long enough that I can say its not just a fleeting interest. However I'm still not sure it's really doable. To say I still struggled to see myslef just waltzing around town in my one piece. The lovely ladies below seem to prove it can be done, achieving some very diffrent looks.

I especially like Eva Longoria's nude number. The rolled cuffs ddress it down and the bright purse adds a pop of color. I'd probobly do the same with bright platforms.

Having seen these examples I went in search of a jumper for myself. On the more casual side, like Blake Lively's look I found these. I'd pair them with cute flip flops and a big canvas tote for a hot day of running around at the farmer's market.
These Two are both from alloy, under $40.

For a dressier night out option I like the jumpers below, all from Urban, at $75 plus. The grey with the rolled shorts begs for some tall platforms and chunky jewery while the nude is very lingerie inspired and needs simple touches, maybe some metalic falts and a couple bangles.

Hmmm decisions, decisions…
