Stumbled across this beautiful collection of handmade jewelry by Elva Fields (thank you, Pinterest!) and fell in love with this coral necklace. All the gorgeous color of coral with none of the ecological angst: the beads are vintage pearls that have been lacquered with coral, so no living reefs were harmed.
Pantone has just announced that the 2012 color of the year is Tangerine Tango. So this week on misosouper, it’s all about orange.
I love accessorizing in the fall before the big bulky sweaters have to come out. Tweed blazers look so good paired with a thin girly blouse and chunky necklaces, scarves, and pins. And of course, boots, always.
Last night my husband asked me what I wanted to do for Valentine’s Day. Since it’s a Monday night and we’d have to find a sitter, I suggested that we meet up for a romantic lunch. I’m stumped on what to get him (why do guys even need Valentine’s gifts?), but it should be SO obvious what to get me. And yet, after ten years together, I’ve still never gotten a little blue box from him. Le sigh.
Last weekend was the Bazaar Bizarre craft fair in San Francisco. There was a ton of crafty goodness to browse, and I knocked a few more names off of my holiday gift-list. Mother-in-law? Check. Sister-in-law? Check. And for myself? Um, check, check, check. I couldn’t help it. The lovely up-cycled jewelry by Cara Lyndon was my downfall. Tell me you could resist this gold necklace with vintage brass lockets? I bet you can’t.
