victorian perfection from joya

i fell hard for these beautiful necklaces when they first appeared in my inbox a few months back.  sadly, i wasn’t quick enough the first time around, and they sold out at anthropologie in mere moments.  a collaboration between joya (one of my absolute favorite perfumers) and a hip design shop called vane, they can […]

sneak peek: anna sheffield for target

i haven’t done a really good pre-release stalking of a target collection in ages, so i’m thrilled to see from the preview pics that their latest collaboration with jewelry designer anna sheffield (of bing bang jewelry) is definitely worthy of at least a little stalk-age. all photos courtesy of fabsugar sadly, like so many of […]
