Blydesign

Not long ago I stumbled upon the beautiful website Blydesign. Not realizing what I had just discovered, I was hooked once I started perusing the pages of treasures on my computer screen.

Katherine Bly Cromer started Blydesign from a single sentimental idea that came after her grandmother had passed away. She had kept a beautiful, faceted crystal from her grandmothers chandelier and decided to put it on a chain to keep it close to her. From that moment forward she began looking for other unique items that could become beautiful pieces of jewelry. Let me just say, she has accomplished that ten fold!

Take a look:

Not only does Katherine do jewelry for you, but also for your home! I am lusting after these beauties!



Of course I could not resist for long and I bit the bullet when I saw this gorgeous raw, smokey edged quartz necklace calling my name!

It is heavy and feels amazing on!

No Words

So, I sat for what seemed like hours at my computer trying to come up with something to put on the blog, but my sick body gave up. The ringing in my ears and my sore throat won and I could do anything besides find a picture of the way I wish I looked while lying in bed trying not to actually cough up a lung.

One good quote did come to mind though.

"I am just one stomach flu away from my goal weight." - Emily The Devil Wears Prada

In the Stacks

There is nothing prettier or more appealing than a good stack of books.

On another note, I just wanted to thank both Heather of Habitually Chic and Christian of Maison 21 for a wonderful time at the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel. What a lovely way to spend a lovely day.
