finger find...

wow. just discovered these rings (here & here) from st.kilda's eclectic line of jewelry. i'm completely obsessed with the subtle, hidden details of both versions. would be the perfect token of love for the romantic's out there or a push present for those momma's to be.


now...i've got to figure out a way to convince my honey that i'm deserving of yet another piece of jewelry to adorn my fingers

adoration for alkemie...

have you found something that draws you in so deeply that you find yourself needing to know more? and then... as you learn more you become even further engrossed,impressed and in awe?


well that's what happened to me when i came across alkemie's collection of jewelry. 


it all started when i slipped this wolf ring on my finger. fierce & bold but with ladylike class. next thing you know, i had the sting ray cuff on my wrist, the bat cuff on the other, layered with a couple of their necklaces, walking laps around the store, feeling overly adorned but not wanting to give any of it back.


i raced home to find out more so that i could share this amazing find with all of you and what i ended up finding out  just blew.me.away.


things like:
a) the l.a. based company was founded by a husband and wife team
b) they use mother nature and all her wonder as inspiration for their line
c) their entire collection is forged from 100% reclaimed metals
d) they give back. 5% of each sale goes towards one of the charity organizations that they support.
e) the motive for their responsible actions is to exemplify responsibility to their daughters and be an example for future generations


amazing, right? talk about intention...selflessness...the greater good...environmental awareness...  


and on top of it all, their jewelry is hand-crafted, well made, and incredibly beautiful.

i am beyond impressed and hope you will be too.

three.

meet my favorite number. it has been since i was about eight and had a massive crush on then super stud dodger 2nd baseman, steve sax... ah, steve. 

i like how 3 looks... i like how 3 sounds... i like how t-h-r-e-e is spelled... it's just a super awesome number, the open end welcoming in all things and the double bumps/half open circles holding in all that is good. 

and i love it when my dearest friends know me so well to send me things that, in her words, i need to have... and of course she's right... 

i do need. this. ring. but first i need the $$$ to buy it. 

once i have it i will wear it in a stack and keep wishing on that three... for three.

wrist wrap...

i sure am glad that bangles and bobbles, wrap bracelets & friendship bracelets, lucky charms & chunky chains have all made their way out of the drawers and onto our wrists...together. 


i love a wrist stacked with goods can switch from a bohemian air to rock n' roll swagger based on the accessories you choose.


i saw this look today and loved the preppy classic vibe of the watch and bandanna combo. it's neatly put together and clean looking. 


... perfect for the polo fields, a day sailing the seas, or for one of those office day jobs where they make you dress professionally.

house of shields...

the crew over at yellow owl workshop is crafty, clever & full of creative genius...

this little workshop was born here in san francisco out of a love for hand printed paper goods, and it has been wonderful to watch their little treasures pop up more & more around town.

i loved them first for their eco-friendly graphic print cards and super sweet stamp sets, but now they've branched out from paper and are making wearable pendants that i've got my eye on.

...i've got a feeling my neck is about to get lucky! hoot!hoot! yellow owl!
