Chanel No. 5 with Audrey Tautou. Directed by Jean Pierre Jeunet

This is beautiful and brilliant and perfect. Again, Chanel has crafted something of innate grace and class that is, without question, unmatched. Coco would be so proud. 

Cravings

One of my newest obsessions is Etsy -- "your place to buy & sell all things handmade."Every day I find something new and beautiful. It's like the best neighborhood flea market that ever was. Here are a few of my favorite favorites:

Peacock Feather Clutch. $70

Organic Cotton Gathered Shawl. $65  

Typewriter Rings. $10

Aged Brass Blue Bird Charm. $3.50

The Sweet Smell of Old Dreams (and Pretty Soaps)

For a few short months during high school, I was desperate to go to school for Package Design. My dream was quickly replaced with my forever and always obsession with Public Relations. Still, I can't help but swoon when I stumble upon a beautiful packaging job. 

My newest crush is on Lollia, an absolutely gorgeous Beauty Goods and Handcrafts brand that sells with Anthropologie. I cannot stop obsessing with how beautiful their wine bottle bubble baths and quaint little perfumes are. (Not to mention, they all smell absolutely otherworldly.)

Pretty Little Things

As of late, I've taken to falling in love with boutique-y sweet and simple accessories - finding baubles and bows that no one else will have. I'm quite certain that there's something to be said for finding accessories that give you a sense a self - molding fashion into style. Because where's the fun in wearing clothes just because you have to? And, because I'm feeling terribly giving today, I'll share some favorite finds. 

Handle & Spout: I'm addicted. I absolutely cannot believe how beautiful these pieces are. I have a crush on every single whimsical little headband.

Allyjoy: Ally's jewelry is gorgeous. I love that she has maintained the hand-made look in her work, giving each piece a sense of personality and likeness. Most of her pieces include antique and hard to find materials, making them absolutely one of a kind. Fantastic. (You can follow Ally on on Twitter too! twitter.com/allyjoyetsy)

 

This is my favorite of all her pieces - perfectly in season with Pantone's declaration of their 2009 color: Mimosa. Wouldn't it be adorable with a simple strapless white sun dress and a cute pair of mimosa brunch pumps? Yes please!
