There was a time before the husband and I married, that he would buy me a little something from Tiffany‘s for almost every occasion. It started with an adorable double heart ring in silver, then a silver chain & locket bracelet, then a matching locket necklace in silver, and finally, Christmas 2011, when I opened …
Inspired | Tumblr Crushin’ | Frankly Esoteric | All The Pretty Photos
Sometimes I’m in “do” mode… and sometimes I’m in “consume” mode… and sometimes when I’m in one mode I wonder if I’ll ever be in the other again… and then seemingly from nowhere, I’m smack in the middle of the other. I haven’t “pinned” for a while, and then last night, I pinned one million …
Found and Collected…
Small specimens of nature found while on our hike yesterday… and collected. As I trekked the largest of the sticks over my shoulder, dragging the lighter end on the ground behind me, I heard the husband laugh and chuckle to himself about one hundred times. But I’m pretty sure he was just happy I didn’t …
Dried Flowers Nail Art Set for Floral Manicures
I instantly fell in love with these pretty little dried flowers the other day while randomly browsing Amazon’s nail art products and because they were only $5.00 for the set {looks like flowers vary} I instantly added them to my cart & checked out.

Chanel’s Camellias ~ Flowers In Bloom
“The camellia, a flower of stark simplicity and pure white, could not fail to charm Mademoiselle Chanel. It formed part of her private world: [in her apartment] scattered on Coromandel screens, it also appears in chandeliers or in bouquets with rock-crystal. Prior to being the flower associated with demimondaines or dandies, the camellia symbolized purity …
Spring Couture in Pastels
I am IN LOVE with the Spring 2012 Couture collection from Elie Saab. Dripping iced pastels, florals and beadwork symmetrically embroidered over layers of sheer fabric with a nod to 50’s and 60’s silhouettes and femininity, with a hint of moxie. It’s simply stunning. Even the wedding gown {above}, though almost out of place amongst …

Oh Chloé, if you were more affordable, would I desire you so much?
Thinking of Spring handbags has me lusting for a 70’s inspired beige or nude Chloé bag …which would be worth far more than anything I might actually carry in it. This is true of my lovely Ferragamo bag I’m using at the moment and most of my other bags as well …which have been gifted …
