Pamela Love Jewelry

Recently I found this jewelry designer Pamela Love while out and about! I saw this ring and want it so bad, but I have to save for it! When I came home I went on the website and found more things I fell in love with... Here are some of her designs that are pretty fresh! She is a local New Yorker and makes her stuff in Brooklyn all by hand !

Southwestern Cuff

Chevron Rings.. these are what caught my eye!!!

check out all her stuff at www.pamelalovenyc.com!

leopard shoes? me?

So everyone needs a little leopard in their wardrobe... I have none!!!!!!!! Most of the time I feel I  "don't have it" to wear super leopard shoes.. I always love them on people BUT once I try on booties or flats or whatever I just can't do it.

I have been dying for something cute and something likable but to no avail!  Walking in the meat packing the other day there was a cute skater-y/surf-y girl wearing these leopard Van's... NOW that is something that can be pulled off by ME!

VAN'S "authentic lo-pro" kicks are in canvas with a black midsole. Not for nothing they're dope.

St. Anthony, St. Anthony help me find the perfect BOOTIE!!!!

Bootie's EVERYWHERE!  

I had a vision of my perfect shoe! From trying on Rachel Comey's, Madewell"s, Rag and Bone's, Steve Madden's and a million others.. I would just HEM and HAW over the ones I tried and then never commit and still BOOTIE-LESS!!!!!!!

I needed an everyday bootie... a heel that wasn't too high, a toe that was not too pointy or too round and not 500 bucks..... OHHHH my criteria!!!! The search has been on over a year!!!!  These were even the first ones I tried on... I, FINALLY ..... FOUND THEM! 

SAM EDELMAN "PETTY" BOOTIE

The price, heel height, toe shape and colors are PERFECT! I have them in Black and Putty and I can't live without them, they go with everything! They are also super super comfortable!! Definitely the best bootie of the bunches!!!

My new Fragrance LE LABO

I am super picky about perfume! I don't like too floral, too sweet or too musky!!! It's hard to find a balance of all that makes a nice subtle smell! A friend of mine always smelt just right and I had to ask her what she was wearing... and TAH DA I found my new fave.

Its called LE LABO, and they have 10 amazing fragrances... my favorite is the Bergamote 22.

Each Fragrance is made to order so it is fresh and at it's best.  I think that is just awesome!

The cutest thing is on the bottle once made to order they put your name the bottle ! They made it just for you!!!! It also has the date it was made and who made it for you at the store.  I think it is so great to support something so carefully made in the USA and by hand.  It also smells divine!

Letterpress art prints of the 50 states!

I found these amazing letterpress prints just "surfing" around Etsy!  Made by Dutch Door Press out of San Francisco they letterpress greeting cards, art prints, calendar's, boxed note set's, textiles and gifts!
These prints are made on 100% cotton paper and come 5"x7".  I want to get all THE STATES  and put them on one wall!  I think this is a great gift idea for anyone.  The letterpress prints have the state bird and flower on them... and are just adorable. Below are CT and Mass. I LOVE THEM.

AHHHH MAZING... My favorite Black Pumps.

My best friend was getting married in Cali.... I was a bridesmaid... All we had to do is wear black... Easy enough! Well... I of course needed new shoes.  I found the perfect pair and I wore them 2 nights in a row (get my money's worth). I danced and mingled all night without sore feet the next day.

Here are the dream shoes I am talking about... The YVES SAINT LAURENT "GISELE" black suede pump!  The heels are super high.. LOVE.... but because of the platform you can walk a 5K instead of wobbling around.  They have a gorgeous tapered toe, leather interior lining and  lightly cushioned insole.  The front platform measure's 3/4" and the heel is 4 3/4".  These shoes make your feet look so pretty and feminine.. they are my cinderella shoe!!

P.S. i got them at barney's :) and come in different colors!
