Treat Yourself for Under $40!

I'm a sucker for a good deal, but I'm also a sucker for a versatile piece I can wear again and again. I stumbled upon the Sibley necklace from Swell Caroline, and I knew I had to share it with you! Double strands of big, beautiful beads? Done and done.

The necklace comes in five fabulous colors, and falls just under $40. Sounds like a wonderful way to treat yourself (and myself) on this Wednesday. Cheers to the midweek, friends!

 

Kluster Happy Jewelry

Stumbling across small businesses to share with you is one of my joys in blogging. I keep a list in my phone of all of the amazing companies I come across, and I am thrilled to share this find with you. You might remember Kluster Happy Jewelery from a few weeks ago, but I wanted to bring them back to you again today. 

I am smitten by the bold colors and chunky looks that Laura hand-creates right here in the southern US. Take a look for yourself and maybe head to her shop to pick up a little Monday treat!

Four Favorites: Valentine's Day Edition

I'm trying a new link-up this week, and I couldn't be more excited. Now, y'all know I love my girl Shanna, and my new friend Lauren, but you also know how blogger-block can happen...and it hit me HARD when I was planning for this post. A new link-up gave me just the inspiration and spark I needed. Let's get started, shall we?

This link-up is with Ashlyn of Let It Be Beautiful & Kristin from Fancy Things and is called 4 Favorites. Last week, the theme was Valentine's Day, and I'm so sad that I missed it that I decided to play catch up. Here are my four favorites for the season of love:

WAITING ON MARTHA love sparkler wands / CAMILLE'S CLOSET polish / STEPHANIE CREEKMUR oh my darlin' card / WAITING ON MARTHA pink cake stand

Love Language

Can you believe that it's time to start talking about the next holiday already? Me either! But, it's here, and honestly...I like Valentine's Day. I might get metaphorical eggs thrown at my blog for saying that, but I do. Sure, it's a Hallmark holiday, sure it's commercialized, sure it's forced, but it's a great time for us to remember everyone we love. To me, it's not just about having a significant other; it's about thinking about all of those people who you love and recognizing them. Sugar Paper Company and Rifle Paper Company are two of my absolute favorite stationary stores. I love their unique cards, don't you?

RIFLE PAPER CO. balloons / RIFLE PAPER CO. anatomy of love / RIFLE PAPER CO. bees knees

Case by Case

I would love to have an iPad. The ease of taking it with you everywhere and having the world at your fingertips is certainly appealing. However, sometimes, I really just want one so I can have a cute case like this one. #honesty

Fall Essentials at Terrain

Have you spent some time perusing through Anthropologie's sister store, Terrain? Their products are mainly for the home and garden, and I'm loving the rustic yet chic looks. I would definitely like to have any of these things in my home. What would you pick?

Le French Bulldog

My friend Erin has a thing for french bulldogs, and lately I've been seeing them everywhere - especially in home decor. These adorable pups with those too cute faces are sure to bring a smile to your home:

Single Girl's Registry: All I Really Want

While I love perusing weddings registries for my bride-to-be friends, I sometimes find myself wishing I could register for some of the gifts that I want (like the time Carrie registered for shoes at Manolo Blahnik). Enter All I Really Want, a pinterest-like website (complete with a bookmark button) that takes your present-picks, puts them in one location, and lets your friends know which items have been fulfilled and which are still available for gifting.

Here's how it works: 

1. Register

2. Drag the bookmarklet to your toolbar

3. Start shopping!

4. Share your list!

Christmas, birthday, and just because shopping just got a whole lot easier!

I created my own list inspired by polka dots, my favorite fun pattern that is popping up everywhere. Things will be getting a lot more dotty around here in the coming weeks. Changes to the blog are around the corner, and this list is the first step in getting there!

Monogram Love

 I can't believe I stumbled across this site AFTER my graduation gift post, but I'm so glad I found it. Marley Lilly is literally a one-stop shop for anything and everything monogrammed. Monogrammed yoga mat? You got it. Summer hat? Yep. Umbrella? Absolutely! They even have monogrammed binders & soap!

I already have my sights on a few items (ahem, monogrammed sunnies below), but here are a few more I would LOVE to get or give as gifts.

Baseball Hat

Water Bottle

Clutch 

6 Pack Tube Cooler (I want this!)

Cell Phone Cover

Dry Sport Pull-Over

LOVE LOVE LOVE MONOGRAMS!
