Tiffany's Eye Candy || Week 51 of 52

A funny thing about me is that I never actually WANT beautiful things -- I just want to look at them. (Can I get a witness on this one?) I derive so much enjoyment from simply admiring a beautiful pattern or a unique piece of jewelry that owning it could not bring me anymore pleasure. Mind you, I'm one of those people who absolutely hate a full closet of clothing, shoes, or jewelry -- having less means less mess and less stress.
That being said, I still do collect a mental catalog of items that I love. I thought that it would be a good idea to take a few of those items out of my mental closet and post them here. Plus, I love any excuse to do a little blogpost designing.

Rachel Roy Earrings: I love it when someone turns a common object into something special.
Kate Spade Necklace: I've been drawn towards very short necklace lengths recently, especially collar necklaces and delicate chokers. Even though the bow necklace shown is long, I like to imagine that it has a 14" length.
Kate Spade Bangle: As you can probably tell from my blog color scheme or my favorite everyday wear, I love a gray, white, and gold combination. 

Thinking of making this a weekly segment on the blog. After this hectic holiday season, I could use a little more routine around here.
Until next time :)

The Great Gatsby Decorations Teaser

 

During the power outages last month, I spent most of my free time reading by candlelight. Scanning my bookshelves, I picked out The Great Gatsby and rekindled my love for the F. Scott Fitzgerald. I love Fitzgerald's beautiful writing style -- I'm a big fan of his run on sentences filled with incredibly vivid imagery and the depth and complexity in his writing. In honor of the book and the movie coming out in 2013, I decided to make dining room decorations inspired by The Great Gatsby. This winter season, I've been drawing a lot of inspiration from the roaring 1920's colors and art deco graphics. This inspiration has been filtering into my personal style -- i love vampy and luxurious color choices this season.
Until next time!
