I think this breathes new life into the jewelry, and it always makes me feel like I’m living a story every time I take a piece off or put one on. Read More

We would wake up in the morning, get inventive with breakfast, and then head out for long coastline walks. Read More

DIY Glass Bottle Centerpiece
This week we were inspired by our Dark Rose lookbook that was all about mixing the perfect amount of feminine lace with darker touches of onyx. For today’s DIY, we used those elements to create a beautiful glass bottle centerpiece that incorporates the pretty but also gothic feel that the featured looks have. This is so simple to make and can be used anywhere! It would look great as the centerpiece for a candle lit dinner or even as decor on your desk.
