Stones for Summer

So as many of you know, I am an accessory junkie and love making jewelry. I have not kept up with it as much as I would like; however, with summer approaching I have had an itch to invest in some fun and vibrant stones that would make perfect pieces to throw on with an airy summer outfit!

Below are some necklaces I made in the past (I apologize for the very bad picture quality!) My passion for making jewelry really started when I visited The Bead Shop in uptown New Orleans quite a few years ago when we were visiting for Christmas. Ever since then, I love browsing bead stores and picking up fun stones when I see them!

And while we are on the topic of accessories, I thought I would share some fun summer pieces I love that I have stumbled across recently either in person or online (Anthropologie, Club Monaco, French Connection, Anne Taylor Loft)

Sea of Canvas

During my lunch break today, I went to Atlantic Station and stumbled into Z Gallerie where I spent a full hr thumbing through their fabulous selection of paintings. I always knew they sold art work; however, i was blown away by the assortment I found! They have prints and paintings that suit every taste...abstract, art deco, modern, landscape, watercolor, you name it! Even though I do not currently own a home, I consider my style contemporary and love a clean, fresh, chic look that consists of whites and neutrals with splashes of color thrown in. What better way to add a vibrant pop than with a fabulous painting.

Below are some neutral and clean interiors that use paintings for color....love the contrast.

Music to my ears...

I have found myself listening to this song and band a lot recently so thought I would share some Avett Brothers- Happy Wednesday!
