Vita New York

While Looking at nymag.com I found this cool designer called Vita New York. This line uses exotic skins, agate and semi precious stones. I am especially digging the oversized cocktail rings and exotic wrist belt bracelets. Wayne Anderson and Shauna Hull have co-designed Vita New York.  The brand "Vita" means "a way of life".  Check out their full line here.

Horsing Around

Donna DeMari has several photography collections of horses that are truly amazing. I love the close-up obscure shots. Her photographs would be the perfect statement blown up on a living room or bedroom wall. Love.

Dream Big

All this apartment hunting has gotten the wheels spinning - it's decorating time! Considering the fact that I will be on a pretty tight budget, let's hope I have luck finding some amazing deals in the city. I will update with apartment photos once I move in and as it comes together. Wish me luck!

Here are some inspiration photos for my hunt.

 

 

And if it were a house and there were a front door....No doubt that this would be it.

 Pink on one side...blue on the other!

Baby it's cold outside

So I am officially a resident of the big apple and it welcomed me with my first snow today! I got to run around in the flurries while apartment searching all afternoon.

Followed by meeting up with some lovely ladies at the cutest spot in the West Village called the Spotted Pig for some mulled wine...a delicious snowy day cocktail if you ask me! This place if you're ever in the village is a really cute little neighborhood spot!

Which transitioned quite nicely into an evening of bar hopping with new-found friends to some fun spots like the Spring Lounge, Bedlam Bar, and the Village Tavern for a fun filled late night. I'll post back tomorrow with some fun new jewelry finds and pictures of the snow!!

Ready or Not...

Cute Hide 'n Seek illustration by Eloise.

I know i've been on an unannounced hiatus from the blogging world for ohhhh about a month now...but I'm back! I hope everyone had a fabulous holiday and is getting ready for an even better 2011! 

Life has taken lots of exciting twists and turns in my world recently and is sending me to none other than New York City to take a stab at this whole jewelry design thing. SO....you can imagine my excitement as well as insanity trying to pack and move to a big new city. You will be hearing and seeing lots of my new finds come January...but until then I am off to Mexico to enjoy some beach and sunshine before I attempt to conquer (or at least survive) the frigid East coast winter! 

Adios Amigos!

Pencil Perfection

Look how insane these carved pencils are....kinda like the crayons I posted a while back. Can you imagine how you get that much detail in lead? Very impressed. Connecticut based artist, Dalton Ghetti is the man responsible for these amazing detailed sculptures! Apparently he has never sold them, but only given them away as gifts -- think he wants to be friends :)

For more on Ghetti's fun pencil designs read here.

La Mer

I am loving these La Mer wrap watches as gifts for the holidays. They are stylish and can be tailored to meet any girls preferences! These stylish time keepers come in several different styles: triple wrap, double wrap, single wrap, large face, square face, charmed & chained...you can even customize your own on their website!

 

Can't go wrong with classic black,
