Bling Wish List

Because this is more fun than class.

Dannijo Jewelry

This jewelry is handmade in NY by two sisters (Danielle and Jodie = DANNIJO). It's a little out of my price range, but it is still fun to look at, and provides some great DIY inspiration.






Minoux


It's rare that I find a non-statement jewelry line that I like multiple pieces in, but Minoux has hit the nail on the head. Not only that, but every piece is made from recycled materials when possible, and environmentally-conscious studio practices.




nOir Jewelry

Their studded line is so friggin' badass. I can't decide between the rose-gold brass knuckles or the gold ones.
I liked almost every piece, so I had to pick my absolute absolute two favourites.




Best for last....

House of Harlow 1960

This is, and has been for about 2 years, my favourite jewelry line. Nicole Ritchie and I seem to agree when it comes to colours and metals mixing together. I have a bunch of pieces from this line, and I still can't get enough. LOVE. I've wanted the leather station necklaces for a while, and I can't decide between the two colours. I think they would look pretty cool layered though, so maybe (one day) I will spring for two.

Grilled Cheese Nation

Yesterday at the Harvard Farmer's Market I stumbled upon a Grilled Cheese Truck! It was such a sight for my sore and hungry eyes. I ordered a "Brie me up" which was a brie and pear sandwich. $7 was a little pricey I think, but it was oh-so good...

Yellow Vespa

One day you will be mine

Chevron Rug DIY

I saw an AWESOME home decor diy over the summer (Source: Little Green Notebook), and I new I had to try my hand at it. I chose the same colour pattern because it just happened to match most of the stuff in my room already. It turned out really nicely! I wish I'd made all the zigs and zags a little pointier and thicker, but I would certainly say this one's a keeper :)
I picked up a cheap white rug from Ikea, which only set me back $20
Photo cred goes to my roomie IG. Thanks for helping!
All taped up and ready to paint
I was a little nervous when I saw it still with the tape on, but...
VOILA! It looked great! I'm really happy with it, and it was super easy and quick.

Hello Seattle

A long long time ago, as in over a month ago, I went on an Alaskan cruise with my parents. While the cruise was awesome, and Alaska was beautiful, I was most impressed with the time I spent in Seattle, before I even boarded the ship. I only spent a few days there, but I've already added it to my 'places I want to live' list. It's young and old at the same time, and it's full of fun and creative people who really add a unique touch to the city.

All that Glitters is Gold

Clear nail polish + gold giltter + more clear nail polish = a party on your fingernails


I apologize the quality of these pictures. One day I will get myself a fancy camera and dub myself a photographer like all other bloggers.
