Give me a Branch

It's not a new idea, but  I've recently been obsesssed with finding the perfect nature-enspired jewelry....

How stunning is this rose gold twig inspired bangle? ($138 on Etsy)

Or, you could go with this one, that's actually a branch! ($95 brass dipped branch at Etsy)

Or, maybe you're looking for the softer side of twig jewelry, and want some leaves on that bracelet :)

This one almost feels a bit Roman...

(Botanical braclet, $40 on Etsy)

I'd also be more than willing to stack a set of these twiggy rings onto my finger.  (Twig band $510 at Etsy)

Today is a Good Day

The perfect print for a Monday from Wild Horse Home...

I love how instead of a frame,  it's a retro wall hanging.  Almost feels like you could hang it up anywhere, just as a little reminder :)

Beachy Photo Prints

My latest fashion obsession is a trend that has been all over runways for the past couple seasons -- photo prints.  The clincher was this photo I spotted of Olivia Palermo and Tibi designer Amy Smilovic that I spotted on Pinterest. 

I just adore Amy's Stella McCartney Skirt and how cool does it look paired with a simple white tank?

Here it is in all of it's glory (70% off at Net-A-Porter!)

I think there is something cool about the "midi" length, but I'd also love this short version:

Obviously, the Hawaiian print is quite a statement,  but I also like some more subte photo prints.  Check out this dress from designer Caron Callahan's spring line.  I love how the landscape print almost looks like stripes from a distance ($315 at Les Nouvelles)

Even TopShop is in an the action with this darling pleated landscape print mini skirt by Marios ($110 at TopShop)

So, what do you think -- are these landscape prints fun or just too trendy?

A New Take on Animal Print

Animal motifs have been all over the runways the past couple of seasons, and now they've hit the mall in a big way.  I think these animal motifs are a fun way to add a bit a whimsy to your wardrobe, but they're still totally wearable.
