I cannot wait for the sun to come out and for little buds of green and yellow to spring from the ground. I have cabin fever, I think. Mondays give me the blues, so – in an effort to combat the monday blues – I spent some time tinkering around in Etsy, and created a [...]
Hi Guys! Time to toot my own horn and fill you in on what I’ve been doing outside of Bonne Vie… As you know, I’ve spent a lot of time curating a lot things with Kimberlee from Deco Modiste. Recently we’ve discovered we have a lot of scrap, a lot of unused or broken vintage [...]
Again, I found a bunch of lovely vintage inspiration in the Etsy today (and Taste Test is addicting!) – probably because I spend so much time sifting through antiquities (like glass vintage apothecary bottles), looking for oddities and curios. So I made this treasury (click the pic to go to the Treasury Page…) Inspired by [...]
So I’ve been doing a little work on the side, manning the Totally Blown Glass Etsy site (where you can find all our candle holders, business card holders and suncatchers for sale…) and I realized I’m totally a Treasury-addict! I’ve been saving up favorites for ages and I finally decided to put one together [...]
I love the way this outfit came together with the amazing Amenaza Maxi Skirt from EtceteraPeru. The skirt is an interesting gray, with draping in the front and a backseam (it used to only go halfway up the back of the skirt, but I fixed it so it a) fit me and b) didn’t look [...]
Last night I attended the D-List release party, since this month’s mag features Jordana of Clutch-22. I was completely enamored of this amazing fringe necklace she was wearing. I had to ask and she told me the piece is a Norwegian Wood. Norwegian Wood is infamous for the amazing harness belts, cage skirts and crazy [...]
I’ve been feeling sort of hyper-consumer lately and I’ve decided accessories are my new best friend. In honor of this urge to go out and splurge, I’ve got a little list of wants… Secret message in a necklace! Flapper style! Flapper hats! I know it’s summer now, but when fall hits, you’ll be glad for [...]
Every so often, I see someone with beautiful thick-gauge earrings that makes me pause and think, “I wonder if I could get away with stretching my ears“. I’ve got a normal post size (18ga?) that has been stretched over time by countless dangly earrings – so much that I could probably get a 16 post [...]
Helloooo Lovers! We ran the Haiku Contest for 2 whole weeks and I had a LOT of responses via email/twitter/comments/other notes for the little acrylic elephant from Destroyed by Design: Ee’s cute, non!? Visit Destroyed by Design on Etsy So without further ado, I’m going to highlight the WINNER of the haiku contest and this [...]
I’ve always been fascinated by the desert that surrounds the Nile, so it’s no small surprise that I’d LOVE the Egypt-inspired designs that came out for S/S 09. See this little number: (Photo from myallaboutbeauty.com) Ika Butoni did an amazing collection for Hong Kong Fashion Week called “Desert Road to Alexandria” – it is gorgeous [...]
