Chandeliers from Layla Grayce

It seems that these days the trend for overhead lighting is fairly boring... many dining rooms resort to a neutral, modernized version of the chandelier, and that's sad. I am very much in favor of the elegance that chandeliers can bring to a room. - Any room for that matter, a master bath, bedroom, studio. ;) I just love the POP of drama and beautiful lighting that illuminates from them. They are expressive and becoming more and more colorful! This "Maura Daniel Mimi 3 Light Chandelier in Turquoise & Gold" is one of my favorites from the wide selection offered at LayLa Grayce. The gold and turquoise color palette highlighted with clear glass beads is just perfect. It's a blend of classic and chic.

"I would like to welcome you to my shop.
I have a reputation of knitting and crocheting until I drop.

Although I have a degree in science and math,
It turned out not to be my chosen path.

I love to create different types of fashion.
You could say that fibers, colors, and textiles are my passion.

The pieces I create are original handmade designs of mine.
Having one of each for myself would suit me just fine.

It brings me joy when others want my creations, too.
I hope something you see here will be perfect for you..."

Creamer & Sugar Set x Whitney Smith Pottery

Whitney Smith Pottery has many pottery pieces available to buy, but I wanted to demonstrate the beauty of each piece when spotlighted alone. This piece is my favorite, I love the "fern" color and beautiful clean, slick lines of it's design. It is timeless and would look lovely on any table no matter what the occasion!

Whitney writes,

"My design sense is primarily informed by my obsession with flowers and other forms found in nature." ... "all of my pieces are thrown on the potter's wheel first, then carved and textured into their final shape."

Zipper Pouches x LouLouBell

I think these fashionable little zipper pouches by "LouLouBell" are just great! They are available in a wide variety of fun, colorful, trendy patterns... and in 2 different sizes as well. The pouches are designed with an "obsession for color and texture," which is evident in the pouches sleek, modern look.

Their prices are great too! I'd consider buying a couple different color combos to match with different outfits. They'd be great to toss in a suitcase for a trip and use as a small purse rather than lugging some chunky bag around all day. :)

Owner of LouLouBell, Lindsay, writes...

"We ladies have a lot of little things floating around in our big purses - from lip gloss to jewelry, business cards, cell phones, coins, pens, etc. So get organized! From cute to sophisticated, luxurious to comfortable, you’ll find one to fit your individual style."

... and I couldn't agree more! I can't tell you how many times my cell is ringing and I frantically dig through some oversized satchel hunting for it, meanwhile I miss the call! Maybe a LouLouBell pouch would do the trick! So if you're looking to get organized, carry a smaller trendier little purse, or for a great gift item... shop the entire collection here!
