Five Things

November 11th, 2011

{Sparkly shoes thrown over a telephone wire}

This week was satisfyingly chaotic – in the sense that I felt overworked and exhausted, but still able to take the time to appreciate those hauntingly beautiful moments (hence the first picture). After my quick trip to New York, I’m happy to be back in L.A. just in time for the weekend.

{Spotted gold case for my favorite new toy/phone}

{Glass canister for matches with a striking surface on the bottom}

{Metallic polishes set - both the colors and bottles feel party-ready}

{Completely unnecessary purchase that tastes as good/fun as it looks}

    You can find the matchstick holder on velocityartanddesign.com. It’s not a vintage find- It’s called “Jen Pearson Designs Apothecary matchstick bottle” for $20.

    Good to know…thanks for clearing that up, KC! I’ve updated the post accordingly (I had found my matches at New Stone Age in L.A.).

    Love your Five Things, as usual! I am a big fan of the iPhone case – I love yellow, love polka dots, so it’s pretty perfect in my eyes!

    Oh, and I am obsessed with chocolate *anything* so the chocolate pebbles were a fine purchase. :)

    Happy weekend!
