digging my way to china

i love my fine china... 





but what do i do about everyday?
this is what i am registered for right now...



and then i saw these plates.... 
which i think are beautiful!

and a little funky.
totally my style...
                                     

but i could use the solid pewter 
to be completely functional and not as outrageous...
(both in price and style)


what would ya'll choose?
do you have any other suggestions?

italian leather

when i think of italy, i think first of the
 renaissance architecture and art that line the streets and fill cathedrals. 
but when  i remember italy, 
it is the metallic leather bag that was handmade for me and 
the ostrich and dark chocolate brown leather medicine bag designed for drew.
 so, when i saw this video on j.crew's website today, 
my heart completely melted. 
i think about eugenio in his family's little shop on the cobblestone street, 
borgo s.s. apostoli, 
right off the ponte vecchio. 
i really cannot explain my love for florence.
watch this video- it gives you a little bitty feel of the 
grandeur italy possesses.

(i'll go home and take pictures of our bags later)

eye candy

get ready to faint...

metallic, printed, bright, textured skirts
oh my goodness

i love the contrast of 
hardware with the feminine blush pink

i love orange and pink 
paired with leopard

i think i tried to make shoes
 that look like these when i was in 7th grade

i am praying 
that i happen upon a similar pair of 
shoes vintage shopping

if you know me,
 you have seen me in sequins and fur
(usually white)

and in a feather dress. 
but i would die if i got to wear one like this!

perfection


after seeing this picture, 
i am in search for a
 watercolor british flag pillow and aqua flats

OH MY GOODNESS, 
i would wear this everyday

teal, sequin, leather and gold purse. 
(did i just say those words in the same sentence?)
love

ok, i was about to buy the print, 
"keep calm and carry on"
it has now upgraded to this rug.

is this not the most 
beautiful post you have ever seen? 
pure

white lace

this is the dress i have been searching for.
it is perfect.

ti voglio italia

i love italy. every aspect of it...
 the plane ride there.

standing with my back to the arno river looking up to the hillside.

wine tasting while looking at the tuscany farmland.

 riding in a red glossy wooden boat around the 5 cities of cinque terre.

 on the hike looking through the trees to one of the port cities there.

once again, on the hike within the woods on a stone bridge.

 the beautiful country side views on the train ride to rome.

making 3 wishes into the trevi fountain.

 the lighthouse on the island of capri.

 in tiny wooden boat inside the blue gorda cave.

boating around the island of capri.

the sunset in greece. 

 exploring the white houses of santorini during the day 

... and during the night.

WOW
this reminiscing makes me realize
1. how amazing of a trip i got to take
2. how much i miss europe
3. i was really there... I WAS REALLY THERE???

(have fun jourdan!)
