This little dragon hook is actually the spout of an antique Japanese tea pot …a set from the 20’s which was my moms and unfortunately broke in the 1994 earthquake or maybe it was during a move? She keeps everything so when unwrapping it a while ago to reminisce, I grabbed the dragon to be used as such {mostly decorative wall art though I do love the vintage rhinestones dripping from its neck}. I mounted it to the wall with wall mount tape.
* You may have seen it from afar in my office/dressing room post.
I found this little brass elephant at Atlantis Home Goods last week. It’s actually a bit larger than it looks.
YSL 70’s inspired wood platform sandals from Barney’s NY sale …minimal damage done.
Vintage gold mirrored tray also from Atlantis Home Goods.
My Father in law’s vintage luggage …I just love this tote, which was sitting in the doorway to the guest room, shoes thrown behind it and I just liked the shot. Also, I hate unpacking.
A small plate from the same tea set as the dragon spout. I found an entire set, unbroken, here.
Another little purchase from Atlantis Home Goods …my new angry birds
Marc Jacobs linen lace ups …more Barney’s NY sale {though they’re a bit snug}
New white iPad 2 …I really had no need, thus no desire for an iPad until now. Well until 4 days before the BlogHer conference. It came in very handy I must say. {* Life Well Lived}
And something VERY blue. I actually found these Bebe “Taffy” buckle heels a few weeks ago while I was feverishly searching for the perfect suede pump to DIY. These weren’t it but I kind of died when I tried them on …and so did all the women around me. I couldn’t resist.

Really love those YSL shoes! It’s a good thing we don’t have a Barney’s here or I’d go into serious debt! 🙂

knocking it out of the park with the Atlantis stuff! I need to pop back there! Every shot is drag-to-the-desktop worthy.
Can’t wait to see how you work the blue shoes!!! I kept thinking in my head, “Violet, you’re turning… violet!”
cheers!

I really love the dragon…and especially since I’ve been feeling inspired to hang some of my bangles and things on the wall bc there’s no other place for them! that elephant is fabulous as are the birds and the shoes…to DIE for.

That spout-turned-hook is genius! If I find a cool but unusuable teapot at a garage sale or thrift store I may use it just for that purpose.
Sienna
love this post, and i love your ysl’s!!!!
Namine
love what you did with the tea spout that is a fabulous idea!
Bri
The wall hanging idea with the teapot is such a cool idea! I adore these blue shoes, of course you had to get them!

my mom had some bright blue totally-80s peep toe pumps & it was a sad day when my foot out grew them in 6th grade. i would rock them out if i wasn’t a 10 to her 7! i’ve known i’ve needed, yes, NEEDED a pair of bright blue shoes & those are tops!
