I recently discovered Etsy.com and have spent numerous hours browsing through all of the beautiful handcrafted jewelry! But I would have to say that the drusy jewelry has mainly captured my attention. For those of you … Continue reading Raw

On top I am sporting my Chenault Blouse (purchased at Nordstroms awhile … Continue reading OOTD #3

Like every other living soul out there, I am completely and utterly obsessed with Downton Abbey!!! I love all of the beautiful costumes and the gorgeous scenery.

So here I am sitting in a very comfortable leather chair sipping on a bottle of … Continue reading Train Traveling!

Shiny jewels + whimsical worlds + a touch of wanderlust + a beautiful backless red ball gown + a diamond … Continue reading Cartier
