january baby

vintage inspiration: an 1820’s ring that looks glam with its rose-cut garnet.  this january birthstone would look even better set in 18k gold…

 

cards & invites … oh my!

beautiful calligraphy for any celebration….

and letter-pressed cards for business or play…

 

winter white…

long skirts + boots are my cold weather staple…

perfection…

 

a little adler adoration

chilly days make me pine for a plush velvet couch…

but this sleek settee is just the right proportion for my cramped quarters. also available in a cheery melon fabric which gives it a more relaxed feel.

 

how i imagine myself…

garance dore’s sketches are unmatched — simple, alluring, & feminine.  her blog and photography are equally interesting — hone your french, or just enjoy the eye candy.

 

frivoler’s wish

although the gold version is my metal of choice, this necklace tops my holiday wish list.  a perfect everyday chain with a hint of charm.

 

a little sparkle with my frivole

the perfect pair of earrings….

in a refreshingly ‘frivole-free’ jewelry store…

 

a serious case of apartment envy

j. crew style maven, jenna lyons’ apartment has just enough frivole to suit my taste.  the chalkboard paint is genius.

 

one for the holidays….

love this great ‘conversation piece’ necklace for holiday parties…

 

leather & pearls

black leather paired with pearls elevates this from what could be a prim look, to the realm of chic.
