Ready to Fly

When I first saw this feather-edged capelet of Barbara Munsel's on Susie Bubble's site, I knew that I had to have it. It was delicate and ethereal and, simply... special. How could you not want it?



And when I found out there was only one going to be made, I was even less able to resist its charms. Made of the creamiest crepe de chine silk, studded with crystals and edged with fluttery feathers it's probably the most magical item I own.

I bought a garment bag for it (since I don't have a dress form... yet!) but now I need to find somewhere equally magical to wear it. And what to wear it with? I was thinking something down to earth like jeans, boots and a cami or tee in a similar color. Or a strapless dress in the same off white as the feathers.

Do you have any ideas inspired by this? I'd love for you to share them if you do!

Not Zubbles!

I have a big tendency to, if' I'm really in love with a style of something, to get it in multiple colors. And now JCrew is trying to take advantage of that fact, darn them!

I love this space-agey-yet-vintage-looking "Bubble" necklace that comes in three lovely colors.

Sweet Papaya:



Brilliant Blue:



Turquoise (my favorite!):



They're each $150 and brand new, so get 'em while they last.

P.S. What the heck are Zubbles???

The epitome of Bubblegum Plastic

As girl-y as I get with some things, I actually don't wear a lot of pink. I do have few fun jewelry pieces, and of course, shoes, but far less than most would think.

However, I am kind of obsessed with this ring.

It's a Louis Vuitton Bubble Ring in the most delicious color - Framboise. How perfect!

In the resin bubble are the signature LV flower and diamond with a Swarovski crystal in the center. I just love the adorable color and the unique design, plus it's not too expensive at $125 on eLuxury.

Also comes in a lighter pink and clear.

Yummy!
