Meet my newest crush! Mr. OLYMPUS PEN

I want this camera….like really badly!  I have never been much of a photographer.  However it is something that I would LOVE to do, but ironically always seem to forget.  Why is that?  Maybe it is because I have the worlds oldest canon digital? Maybe.

It is not  my intention really to become a photographer….but just to have the ability to take a nice picture and document life.  Life which moves far too quickly these days.  Pictures are memories, and they last a life time.  I feel like I have been missing out somehow in not getting into photography sooner.

Anyway, this camera is just what I’ve been looking for. How genius to combine the photographic optics of an SLR and the size and simplicity of a point and shoot!  Does anyone have this?  I would love to hear how you like it!  Or if you have any advice in general about good beginner cameras!

Lorena Barriento is the genius behind MARANON jewelry.  I just recently stumbled across her work while looking for a gift on Etsy…and needless to say, I feel in love.  She painstakingly embroiders each necklace, earring, and brooch by hand!  Using embroidery floss to weave smooth geometric patterns into bold shapes of various sizes.  The backs of her necklaces are lined with lace to give it that small feminine touch.  What a perfect combination!  Don’t you want just every piece!!?

Amazing right!?  To get a behind the scenes look at how they are created visit her FLICKR account.

Right now I am L O V I N G OLIVER PEOPLES.   Early last year I splurged on my first pair: ZOOEY in brown- created in collaboration with Hollywood starlet Zooey Deschanel, whom I ADORE!  Ever since I have been eyeing their optical frames.  They have that retro styled “smart” feel about them….and who doesn’t want to feel smarter!?

I just got a discount card in the mail for $100 off a new pair! My lucky day! I think I just might take advantage!  What do you think?

….the SHELDRAKE / the  DANNIE / or the BARRIE !!??

I first discovered ban.do a few months ago while i was searching for a hairpiece to wear for my wedding.  Not only do they have some UH-MAZING bridal pieces….but they recently launched heart by ban.do , a collection that is SO fun and full of color! Jen Gotch is one of the designers behind heart by ban.do and I just LOVE her creative website!  Not to mention her blog:  My Polaroid Blog

I want that big yellow bow!

I have always been a lover of all things ceramic.  So when I came across this jewelry by mememe….i just had to share.  What girls doesn’t love bows and bunnies and anchors and diamonds?
