Behind the Baubles: Labulgara

Nadia Todorova of Labulgara Jewelry Collection created her NYC-based brand in 2016. Her work takes an irreverent approach to fine jewelry, crafting precious metals and stones into edgy designs. The signature piece of her collection is the needle earring. Resembling a sword, the earring cuffs around the top of the ear and plunges downward through a piercing.

Behind the Baubles: Anna Davern

Behind the Baubles interview with designer Anna Davern

Maybe it’s just me, but every now and then I daydream about being bedecked in gemstones the size of my palm. This fantasy usually crops up when we’re traveling and admiring the royal jewels of a country, but now it’s becoming closer to reality with Anna Davern’s jewelry. Sort of.

Australia-based Anna Davern is one of the most innovative jewelry designers I’ve come across recently. She creates trompe l’oeil earrings that resemble staggeringly expensive, oversize precious gemstones by using a sublimation printing technique on old biscuit tins and tin trays. The end results are unexpectedly gorgeous statement earrings that don’t need to be reserved for special occasions – or protected by armed guards!

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.

Behind the Baubles: ANMARÉ

Behind the Baubles: Anmare

ANMARÉ is the brainchild of three sisters who each lend part of their name to create the brand’s moniker: Anna, Marlenn and Rebecca. The sisters share a Egyptian and Syrian origin, which undoubtedly influences their work, but it’s always balanced with a contemporary approach to jewelry design. With roots in New York and a Brooklyn upbringing, the sisters sought to keep their creative process close to home with locally sourced materials. Each piece is handmade in New York

Buying tickets to the Immersive Van Gogh exhibit l Buying tickets to the Immersive Van Gogh exhibit last November seemed both reckless and naively hopeful. I’m so glad I went for it though, as our first fully vaccinated adventure has been the breath of fresh air we needed. (I’m also happy to report that most people are masked up walking outside, and there are plenty of social-distanced dining options in Chicago.)
Now that we’re fully vaccinated, I'm sure Dave i Now that we’re fully vaccinated, I'm sure Dave is thrilled to be an Instagram Boyfriend again when we're out for our coffee runs. ☕️ 😉 (Don’t worry, we haven’t stopped wearing our masks yet!)

I’d also like to point out that I’m embracing the middle part as not to let my Millennial show. 😉

I'm so excited for longer days and warm evenings o I'm so excited for longer days and warm evenings on the patio -- and this subscription to @winc couldn't haven't come at a better time to usher in the new season with wine in hand! 

If you're unfamiliar with Winc, the California-based winery was founded in 2012 with the belief that wine should be more accessible. So, they've introduced an online membership experience that suggests wines based on your taste preferences making it a really fun way to try wine if you’re at all intimidated by an expansive wine aisle!

Interested in trying it yourself? Use my link to get 40% off your first order and free shipping! That’s 4 bottles of wine for just $39! Learn more at winc.mivh.net/Ryyn3v

I know everyone loves wick trimmers for their cand I know everyone loves wick trimmers for their candles, but you're missing out if you don't have a taper shaver, too! It's an inexpensive gadget that can save you from forcing a candle into a holder and risking breakage — of either the holder or the candle itself. I linked to some options in today's blog post! (URL in bio.)
When we moved into our home three-and-a-half years When we moved into our home three-and-a-half years ago, Dave added an indoor security camera to our living room. I’ll be the first to admit that the option for 24/7 surveillance (which can, thankfully, be shut off automatically when you arrive home) was a little strange, but it’s absolutely worth the peace of mind that comes with a smart camera. When we’ve been away, we’ve checked in on the cat to see what he’s been up to and we’ve been able to verify that the person detected in our house was someone we lent a key to! We’ve since decided to relocate that one outdoors and were delighted to have the opportunity to partner with @ecobeehome to try out their SmartCamera as an indoor replacement. It was a natural fit as we already have – and love – an ecobee thermostat and this camera integrates seamlessly into the brand’s app. The camera has a 180-degree field of view that lets you track activity in your home, giving us a much wider view of the main floor than the other camera allowed. Privacy is still paramount as the camera uses WiFi and GPS to detect when family members are home, which shuts off the recording option. It’s also equipped with voice controls and Alexa, allowing you to connect with the technology you need for your household. And, while it’s not the most important aspect of a smart camera, the design of this one is *really* good.
