For a touch of humor:
I am going absolutely insane over these! What a nice option instead of boring shades or more traditional curtains. Oh, I'm going to have to save up for these for our next place!

Incredible Shades!
I was thinking of waiting until Monday to post this, but I couldn't resist! I came across a company called Delia's Shades tonight on Apartment Therapy, and I am completely in love. If only I didn't have window treatments already!

Kids Art
When we were designing our daughter's room, we found some cute art online, but I wish we had found these first:
Available from pillowsandthrows.com in many colors, 3 sizes, and ranging from $65 for a 12' x 12' to $175 for a 28' x 28'.

Lovely Sofa
I spotted this in my searches this week and wanted to share it with you:
It is the Easton sofa from Restoration Hardware. At about $3000 it is nowhere near being a "steal," but I really like the simple lines, the nailhead trim, and the chocolate brown color.

Pillows Galore!
The pillows on our sofa are torn and tattered, so I have been on a hunt for new ones. However, the pillow collections at my go-to places leave a little to be desired. I was feeling quite pessimistic about finding what I was looking for until I came across PillowsandThrows.com. Here I have found just the kinds of interesting, modern, graphic pillows that I was looking for. Here are some of my favorites:
Thomas Paul Flora Orange ($80)
Thomas Paul Seed ($96)
Inhabit Pussy Willows in Mineral ($60)
Koko Embroidered Pillow ($89)
These are just some of my favorites - check out the website to see lots more!

Sale! Luisa Side Table from DWR
My brother and his wife have this table in white, and I drool over it every time I'm at their apartment:
The Luisa Side Table comes in red, white, and black, and it is on sale for $220 (from $278) from Design Within Reach. The white one would look smashing next to the sofa in our living room. Maybe Santa or the Hannukah Bunny will deliver it...

Drinking Glasses
I think these glasses are too cool for school:
From Uncommon Goods, these Illusion Wine Glasses come as a set of 4 for $75. They are dishwasher safe which is absolutely crucial for me and my unfussy life. They look great with red wine (not quite as much of an impact with white wine), punch, grape juice, etc., and I think they are a fabulous gift for a red wine enthusiast with modern taste.
Drink up!

Alexis Bittar Jewelry
Hello, everyone. I hope you all had a wonderful and satisfying Thanksgiving. We enjoyed a feast at my brother and his wife's place. It was absolutely scrumptious.
Enough friendly banter - let's get on to the good stuff.
I have come across Alexis Bittar's jewelry a few times, and I always love it. So, having thoroughly searched through his website, I've decided that I need to devote at least one post to his fabulous lucite jewelry.
The first piece I want to share with you is the Cushion Bracelet in Silver.
At $375, it certainly is not a steal, but I think it is simply stunning and gorgeous and it could improve almost any basic outfit.
The next bracelet I would love to add to my jewelry collection is the Silver Palm Beach Kiss ($295).
I adore the modern, icy quality to the lucite and in this piece, the cluster of black onyx and marcasite add a feminine and striking touch.
Now on to the rings.
The Gold Abalone Ring ($125) is so simple and modern with it's golden sheen (even though it is silver) and it's delicate texture.
It is a very sculptural piece that would complete any outfit.
The Smoke Bianca Ring ($150) is hand-carved and hand-painted with a show-stopping silver faceted stone.
As someone who does not wear much color, this ring would become an integral part of my wardrobe instantaneously. I love the size of this piece, and could see myself wearing it every day (hint, hint, my darling hubby!).
While I don't wear many colorful clothes, I do occasionally wear colorful jewelry, and Bittar's colors are perfectly bright, saturated, and wonderful. Here are a few photos of his colorful pieces:
Turquoise Dome Ring ($175)
Purple Warhol Polka Dot Bangle ($145)
Bittar also has tons of lucite earrings, necklaces, and pins, but the bracelets and rings really caught my eye. He also has some non-lucite jewelry, so be sure to give his website a careful examination when you visit it. (You would think he was paying me, right? But, no, I just think he's extremely talented.)
