November 8, 2016 by jessica 3 Comments

Go Vote!

Today’s agenda:

  1. Get properly caffeinated with Starbucks.
  2. Figure out your polling place.
  3. Review the ballot in your area so that you can make an informed decision.
  4. Vote.
  5. Celebrate with new jewelry if your candidate wins. (Or console yourself with gems if your candidate loses.)

#ImWithHer

And for some jewelry-related election fun: Gerard Yosca rereleased a pair of earrings he gave to Hillary during a designers’ luncheon at the White House in 1998. Snag a pair here. Gerard is donating $20 from each pair sold to HollaBack!, a women’s organization that works to end harassment. Jewelry and a good cause? Count me in! #ImWithGerardToo

Behind the Baubles: Lisi Lerch

Lisi-Lerch-Interview

Anyone with a penchant for tassels, vintage jewelry, and Palm Beach should have Lisi Lerch’s site bookmarked! Her jewelry collection is brimming with beaded and silky tassels in just about every color you can imagine, along with other pieces that exude vintage chic.

While Lisi created her namesake brand in 2001, the entrepreneur didn’t always have jewelry in her sights. She actually began by selling Kentucky Derby hats to women after noticing a lack of affordable options in the marketplace. Jewelry became part of the brand a few years later when Lisi tried her hand at jewelry design and was hooked. As her business continued to grow, so did her family and Lisi ultimately realized that traveling to trunk shows with baubles was much easier than storing and maneuvering hats. Lisi made the decision to shift her focus to growing the jewelry side of her business.

I don’t think it’s a stretch to dub Lisi the queen of tassel jewelry. She just does it so well, as you probably noticed in Monday’s post! Learn more about Lisi below.

Giveaway! Personalized LovePendants Jewelry

July 7, 2016 by jessica 5 Comments

Giveaway: Win Personalized Jewelry from LovePendants

Personalized necklaces with initials that could only be engraved or cast in metal are a thing of the past, thanks to award-winning jeweler Robert Leser. Robert has developed a new, patent-pending technique to engrave semi-precious gemstones with initials, words, icons and other sentiments. The engravings on the pieces of the new LovePendants collection are etched into the back of the gemstones and stand out with a metallic fill. The made-to-order pieces are manufactured in Robert’s New York City offices by the same experienced staff and master jewelers of his fine jewelry collections: Color Story and a namesake line for Blue Nile. As with his other lines, the LovePendants collection is crafted with ethically sourced materials and careful attention to quality.

I’m thrilled to share that you have a chance to win your very own piece from the LovePendants collection! For my necklace, I went with a citrine pendant with a metallic initial, but you can customize the piece to your specifications. Choose from a LovePendants necklace, bracelet, or charm in either silver or yellow vermeil. Then, choose the gemstone and the color of your engraving. Enter via the widget below. Good luck!

Behind the Baubles: Mary Frances Flowers

We’ve been talking about a road trip to Asheville, North Carolina this fall, so you can imagine my delight to discover that my latest jewelry crush is from the southern city. The jewelry from the Mary Frances Flowers collection takes inspiration from the natural world. Many pieces are cast from organic items with a build-up wax technique (learn more about the process here), which allows Mary Frances to create beautifully detailed jewelry from otherwise overlooked items in nature like porcupine quills and birch bark. (After perusing her collection, you’ll never look at the items you find hiking or beach-combing the same again!) Her latest collection, inspired by this year’s Pantone colors, retains that organic beauty with stone cabochons in rose quartz, blue lace agate, and white howlite.

Our guest room wasn’t a design priority until la Our guest room wasn’t a design priority until late last year when we finally bought a bed, mattress, and a set of sheets. We used some of our own extra bedding (tucking in the generous overhang of our king blankets under the queen-sized mattress) and old bedside lamps from our bedroom: functional, but not quite the charming space I’d envisioned.
 
That started to change when I purchased the Popcorn Grid Coverlet from Schoolhouse — an item I’d been eyeing for years — plus some graphic floral pillows. Then came a bright blue round cushion and the sweetest Teig lamp, both generously gifted by Schoolhouse, and the room finally started to come together. You can shop my picks here: https://liketk.it/5f322

Growing up in northern Wisconsin, lilacs always hi Growing up in northern Wisconsin, lilacs always hit peak bloom right around my birthday on May 30. My mom would fill a large crystal vase with fresh-cut stems, and their scent would waft through the house. 

Now that I live a few hours south and lilac season wraps up earlier, the blooms actually mark the start of my birthday month.

• Spent quality time with my favorite cat

• Biked for Pacificos, chips and quac, and tacos at @bandit.tacos 

• Loved how the rain collected on the Lady’s Mantle I planted last year

• Dipped my toes (quite literally) into this year’s mesh shoe trend

• Snapped a lot of Lily content

• Drove home with a new lilac in the passenger seat
Finishing our guest room has been a focus of ours Finishing our guest room has been a focus of ours this year, and the cute Teig Lamp from Schoolhouse is such a charming addition to the space. It’s named for the German word for “dough,” which is perfect for its soft, petite shape.

I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog of travel photos before we book our next trip. First up, photos of the gothic York Minster. I’m not religious in the slightest but I can’t resist stunning architecture and the opportunity to climb hundreds of cathedral stairs for a city view. This one only had a single rest stop about halfway up the flight of 275 steps for a closeup view of the flying buttresses — and a waiver you had to sign before your ascent to promise you’re healthy enough to make it.
