Jcrew and a Couple More Aces

Two new cute things from JCrew... they have really stepped up their game. Looove the bracelet on the top. What a cool inexpensive piece. Reminds me of Russian jewelry. Wedding dress is cute - I am slightly bothered by the waistline though and would like it better if it were a drop waist or an empire... thoughts?

Coral Necklace

Yellow gold and angel coral necklace... same place as the green earrings. Isn't this piece so minimal and matched with a muted color palette it's just a hit.

Green Earrings

Don't remember where I found these but aren't these a beautiful pair of jade and onyx earrings. I like how they look like beatles.

My Husband Came Across this:

http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/empire/

A man who came across a way to make colorish film before color film was invented. The Library of Congress bought all of the glass slides. The thing that's so amazing is that you start to look through these slides and you're looking at things that in the past were black and white and now you're seeing them in color for the first time. It really changes how you look at history... enjoy! Isn't it amazing?

A Workable Desk

Really cool modern style/Danish style desk up for auction at Kamelot Auction house. Drawers are fronted in parchment.

Arthur Dove

Okay - so yes I fell off the face of the earth for awhile... sorry about that. Here's a picture to kick things back off. This is called Foghorn by artist Arthur Dove and was painted in 1929. I saw this piece in 2001 loved it and for the past 7 years have been trying to rememeber who painted it. I finally broke down and wrote my Professor who taught me Modern Art and she quickly reminded me. Enjoy!

Serving Cart

Beautiful modern style serving cart... isn't it the best when regular things are made beautiful?

Urns

Love these Mercury Glass lidded urns. I especially like that the silver sheen is splotchy and not perfect!

Footed Mirror

This is one of my secret finds that I planned to never share with my readers because I love it so much and I want to be the only person who knows about it... aren't I classy and mature? Regardless I love this piece and it would be a fantastic addition to any collection.

Damn You Temperly London!!

For making such amazing dresses!
