A FRIDAY POST ON A MONDAY (+ HAPPY WEEKEND)

i've been dreaming about gold jewelry, specifically the kind that manages to be both dainty and masculine at the same time. i just want for my hands and arms to be filled with bangly, geometric, stackable rings and bracelets this summer. it seems like the best counterpoint to a very sparse summer wardrobe. (see: my inner minimalist and maximalist at war yet again) maybe i'd throw in a straw hat.

for the first time in a long time i'm even wearing earrings. i don't love wearing earrings, but those brvtvs vectis studs haven't left my ears since they arrived in the mail, they've completely made my life. (it doesn't hurt that i know the designer and she's stinking rad. the knees on my bees, caroline!)

know of any good sources for spare, bold, angry, delicate gold jewelry? i'm on the hunt. pictured above, favorites from odette ny, brvtvs, and another feather.

(i'm trying out some editorial calendar nonsense these days and planning to do a style or home post every friday along with my usual babble links for the next little bit)

and now! the good, the bad, the babble:
and its red headed step child,

  1. YEESH. You're right, no one should buy that craptastic crap from the second link...my eyes, MY EYES!

    Ahem.

    Also, we don't have Forever 21 in Australia. We have Forever New which...eh. I mean, it's okay and all, they have some cool threads but...nyeh. (Could I BE more blase about it?)

    Coveting all this jewelry, by the way, it's all kinds of cute.

    I love your blog and have been reading it for years. Sorry I haven't commented, but maybe I'll start now.

    I wish I had your sense of style. I am four months post partum and feel like a blobby pooh bear. Ah, well, maybe I'll get there one day.

  10. Long time reader, first time comment-ter. I love lots of gold in summer, too. Delicate and simple, then then layered like crazy. I'm new artist, just opened my Etsy shop, maybe you'd like the gold 'element' necklaces I'm doing.

  12. As a redhead, I take offense to "the red-headed step child" and since you are in a family of ginger's, I would have hoped you knew that ;) hahahaha.

  14. Is it just me, when I click the links for the forever 21 posts (which I love by the way) they say "Gallery Not Found." I need my F21 fix, what is a girl to do?

  20. Natalie! I just found you via a friend, and OMG! Love you, your sweet family AND your blog! I have been through early infertility myself and always felt SO alone in that group. So glad to know I am NOT, in fact, alone. Can't wait to keep up with the rest of your adventures! (and if you ever want to look me up, I am at bumproad.blogspot.com) Cheers!
