color tick

i'm a big fan of the swatch. it's practical, simple, durable and has a fiscally sensitive price tag. these watches from triwa are a mix of rubber and stainless steel. they're a nice alternative to the swiss standard - and in succulent colors. available here

Golden Twigs

My sister Lexi forwarded me this pretty jewelry image from Melissa McClure : Jewelry Alchemy. The leather combined with the golden twigs is just my kind of bracelet.

Me encanta....

Jelena Behrend is a lovely metalsmith and jewelry designer in New York. A few years ago she made our wedding rings. It was one of the only places we could find to get rings that were simple, made from high-quality materials and crafted by a real person! I got an email from her the other day and had to check out some of her new pieces. While these rose gold hoops aren't part of her newest collection per se, they are stunning and I can imagine how much fun it would be to wear these with a great sundress and bronzed skin.

Maybe next month; waiting for it to break 80 degrees in Heidelberg ~ still in sweaters at night....

Cocoon Time

Can decide if I love this or not. It's interesting nonetheless.
