wild thing! | fallon labyrinth maze cuff

i’ve fallen pretty hard for this. what can i say? we met on the internet. some would say it’s a little dangerous—i would have to agree. yea, there’d be some precarious moments—but i don’t think we’d ever break up. and besides…what’s life without a little risk involved? 

more killer—literally—accessories from fallon jewelry that will make you fall in love. (click) 

(and the ring below screams: "PERSONAL SPACE PEOPLE!" when you're riding the crowded metro. the perfect city commuter accessory.)

wild thing | pepper blaster II

city girls everywhere: pay attention! it's a whole new way to carry pepper spray. it's modern, easy to operate and performs at a delivery speed of 90 mph. extraordinary! after watching usa marathons of law and order (you know the drill: the fabulous 20/30-something girl is running in lululemon gear through a city park at 6am and gets attacked by the bodyguard of a visiting foreign dignity she met at the state department because she's pregnant with his two-headed baby.) this gadget is numero dos on the christmas list. self defense has never looked so chic. get it here.

blog travels | weekend bags

the coveteur & vogue teamed up for a slideshow on the weekend bags of their favorite editors, photographers, and designers. my favorite weekend bag (featured below) belonged to valerie boster, an editor at vogue. she had me at bantu bikinis, lime green roxy headphones, and balenciaga  wedges. a weekend getaway should be 8 parts relaxation/fun and 2 parts casual glamour right? for more tribal swimwear check out bantuwax.com. best part? the west african prints and labor are 100% authentically african. (designed in ivory coast and manufactured in ethiopia) love it!

label love? | bhldn accessories by anthropologie

not particularly in love with anthroplogie's wedding dress line debut earlier this spring. however, the accessories are a whole different story. the undulate necklace, gilded trillum, and emerald fields kiss lock clutches are just a few examples of how bhldn has captured romantic, jeweled elegance.

off the cuff | off to austin

headed to austin for a week-long vacation. to prepare i gathered multiple recommendations from former austin residents (apparently this trip will involve a lot of shredded meat & barbecue sauce) and absorbed this austin vs. los angeles street style battle from refinery 29 (austin won). i leave you with this selection of wicked cuffs courtesy of accessory line thirty four. the silver one above: a definite favorite.

blog travels | magnets & robes

 look at this robe. it whispers: "i am a cloud of comfort and i'm waiting for you to lose yourself in me."

look at this necklace. it screams: "i am a geometrical enigma that will make every plain summer dress and t-shirt you have look quirky."

wild thing! | white turquoise + gold spike earrings

been playing a lot with white turquoise stones for the cyprus line. so imagine the delight that washed over me when i saw these little daggers of joy by new york-based jewelry designer kim dulaney. each earring is a piece of white turquoise wrapped in gold-plated metal with a flirtatious addition of a vintage chain. check out more of her pieces here.

label love | a. toy

enthralled with the buttery-ness of this lambskin charlie tote by a. toy. even more captivated by the fact it can be worn two ways (tote style or long shoulder.) love versatility.
