Heidi Merrick Trunk Show at Oliver and Lilly's ♥

I am SO excited to go to this trunk show! It has been on my mind for the past couple weeks now and I have, literally, been counting down the days on the calendar. An opportunity to hang out with one of my all-time favorite designers and have a little sneak peak of her fall collection is something I cannot miss!

Any of you lovelies thinking of swinging by the neighborhood for some shopping that day should definitely email sayhello@oliverandlillys.com for an invite for that special evening! Space is limited so make sure to email by Friday the 18th!

All About Color

I'm usually pretty neutral when it comes to my wardrobe and accessories (it's usually black on black on black - sometimes a splash of green or pink, but that's asking a lot). However, recently I have been CRAZY about color! Well, I haven't really been wearing a lot of color, but I am considering incorporating quite a few vibrant pieces into my wardrobe for spring and summer. Seeing all these gorgeous bursts or neon and bright colors is so refreshing and beautiful. Here are a few pieces I am drooling over...

Heidi Merrick Huntington Dress in Neapolitan

One of my favorite pieces from Heidi Merrick's spring collection. I fell in love with it when I first saw it in person at Oliver and Lilly's.

Heidi Merrick Kissing Shirt in Sunset

I`ve been very much into oranges lately...

Siarnaq Aqua Crystal Bullet Necklace

Aqua aura crystals are one of my favorites, turn it into a bullet necklace and oh la la.

 Golden Ponies Leather Satchel from Etsy 

Handmade beauty for only $75. This satchel also comes in a bright neon green and pink. She also does cute flats and oxfords for very reasonable prices.

Leather Foldover Clutch

Nothing like a burst of sunshine to put me in a smiley mood. 

World Map Cushion Pillow

No its not something I would wear, but it would sure make a beautiful accent to any room in my house (and it would help with geography class...well if I were actually taking geography - I could totally sleep and study at the same time) ♥

Have any of you lovelies been into color lately? What colorful pieces would you incorporate into your wardrobe?

Handmade ♥

I've been on a handmaking frenzy lately...

Finally finished my little toque ♥
It's the coziest blend of alpaca, merino, silk, mohair, camel hair and cashmere.

 

I did a little bit of fixing up with my jewelry designs and switched all the chains from gold plated to gold filled as well as add on a little tag with L stamped onto it.
This is my favorite design from my entire collection. I've been trying to get my hands on more of that beautiful large Agate stone, which has definitely been a challenge. 

 

 

 

I wish I had more time to work on knitting and jewelry making. The feeling of completing a beautiful project is incredible and you truly treasure that piece so much more.

Opelle Creative Botanist Handbag

Look what came in the mail today...♥

Just in time Mr. Postman, to relight the smile that was fading on my face because of these darn sniffles.
No more drooling over the beautifully crafted bags on Amy's Etsy shop or constantly looking through her online collection lookbook because one is sitting my desk right now. Thank you Amy ♥

 

I love an impeccably crafted handmade leather bag. 
Can't wait to start toting this beauty around ♥
