Behind the Baubles: Karen Hsiang

December 10, 2013 by jessica Leave a Comment

Beautiful, sensual curves are a hallmark of Karen Hsiang’s jewelry collection, so it wasn’t too surprising to learn she was a former dancer! Her delicate designs are meant to be worn everyday, but they’re even more breathtaking layered with other pieces from the line—or with pieces from your own jewelry box. Better yet, each item can be customized with the metal and stone choice to suit your style. 

Karen is offering a 30% discount to B&B readers through Christmas with code BKAB. I’m actually pretty eager to add a piece to my own collection and finally settled on the crevice ring (gold-plated, moonstone) after spending the better part of an hour winnowing down my choices! Tag me on Instagram (@bedknobsandbaubles) if you place an order, I’d love to see what you pick out!

Behind the Baubles: Samantha Wills

Samantha Wills’ designs aren’t my usual style, which is exactly why I adore about this boho-meets-vintage-meets-glam line. Entirely self-taught, the native Australian has been called “Australia’s biggest export since Vegemite” and was named a “break out star” by The New York Times in 2011. Despite her rising star status, Samantha is still a down-to-earth gal. She remains the spokesperson for her brand, has a charming blog, and can’t resist salted caramel. What’s not to love? image

If you had been paying attention to Bauble Bar last month, you’ll remember the whimsical charm necklaces from Samantha Freedman’s jewelry line Samantha Faye. (Who can forget that pineapple? Swoon!) Samantha is a third-generation jeweler who left her career as a lawyer in 2011 to follow in the footsteps of her grandfather, father, and now, brother. There are dozens of charming – and affordable – designs to choose from.

Created by Loren Barham, Loren Hope is a jewelry line best described as a modern – and colorful! – approach to vintage. An array of rhinestones, semi-precious stones and Czech glass embellish Loren’s hand-crafted designs. It’s almost impossible to choose a favorite from her collection, but the darling sunburst studs in malachite top my list.

Shop the Highlights: Collette necklace // Sunburst studs // Leda bracelet // Clara earrings // Petra pendant

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.

Snapshots from the past week: • Spent quality t Snapshots from the past week:

• 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.

(The lamp and circle pillow were gifted. I purchased the other items.)

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.
