And if you love being at the forefront, neck candy just like these will be hanging in the flagship NYC Bloomies window as part of the Helmut Lang display. Craft one today, and you'll be right in step.

If I Could...

...only change on thing about my outfit each day (undies don't count!), it would have to be a statement necklace.

While I am desperately envious of girls in pleather leggings, my personal style leans toward classics. Case in point? I couldn't even move all of my jeans over to London because of the weight restrictions on airlines...the old weight restrictions, I mean. I would happily don one in my stacks of denim, a solid black or white T-shirt or long sleeve, and simple black flats or brown boots—all topped off with a layered, multi-hued, or textured necklace. While I've spotted some fab ones at J.Crew (as usual) and Boden, the latter having non-headache inducing prices, I have to say the award goes to Anthropologie's treasure trove of a collection. (Plus, one of my brothers-in-law got me a gift card for my birthday!) Here's a roundup of my faves...

From left (prices sans the dreaded tax):
*Mercurial Crochet Necklace, £83.47
*Kingii Necklace, £129.11
*Growth Rings Bib Necklace, £103.03
*Woodruff Necklace, £161.71
*Honorine Necklace, £52.17
*Roped-Off Necklace, £33.91

Happy Birthday To Me!

I'm so sorry about the lack of posts... I've been busy beyond my wildest dreams. But I may have to postpone for a couple more days. Why? It's my birthday! Maybe while I'm gone you should check out my Bloglovin' lovers ;) x

Web Roundup: Bedrooms

Maybe it's that I've so badly neglected tidying our bedroom this week that suddenly that room has become an obsession. With any hope (and with lots of coffee) perhaps these four picks will inspire me to find the floor—and then some.

Fabric Panels Part Two

I know I posted on this yesterday, but I am so into fabric on walls right now. The panels especially offer depth and texture, and I love the alternative to framed art in rooms like the bedroom and office (where distractions make a difference). Don't get me wrong. Art is fab, but I find myself staring at it and not scratching things off my to-do list! I also love the yellow pop on this desk. I posted a DIY table project from Living Etc back in October, and this is a perfect example of the possibilities of a found table or desk.
