Balboa/Jane Pope Studio Opening

So I recently had the pleasure of making an emergency party pit-stop in good old Spartanburg, SC for the opening of the brand new Balboa/Jane Pope Jewelry studio. Jane's new space is gorgeous-I have to tell y'all, my favorite piece is the console pictured above, done in the palest whisper of a pink lacquer. It's gorgeous, and only enhances the jewels it is displaying. And in an amazing twist, Jane got the piece from Stuff Vintage, another furniture "renovator" I stalk on the Facebook, be sure to check her out. I fawned over everything, and made an extensive wish list which includes at least one of her tiny skull rings with as many diamond bands as possible stacked around it. See below por exemplo

It was a fab party, lots of stylish people, excellent cocktails (they even had the good crunchy ice), and insane jewels. Plan to pop in next time you are in or even remotely near Spartanburg. If you can't get there, the website is the next best thing!

 And these, friends, are the ladies of novel. showroom in Charleston. From the left: Liza Cleveland of Bon Vivant, Lauren Lail of Library, Jane Pope Cooper, and Way Way Allen of Blue Chickadee. Look for them to make an appearance in Raleigh soon! (Yay!)

Jane with her adorable staff, and I just need to share-the girl on the far right-that is A ROMPER. I died. It was probably one of the most fabulous things I've seen in a while. 

Well Loved

In case you missed it yesterday, there's a new section on the "shop" website-"Almost Vintage". The rad Balenciaga bag you see below is the first addition. Gently used, well-loved, and at a fraction of retail prices. Check it out!

Drop It

This is one of my latest closet additions: Paul & Joe Sister from Fleur. I adore it for fall. Tights and boots and a cute scarf and you're all set. Don't fear the drop waist-it hits in just the right spot. LOVE.

My New Liger

Rowr. A little "gem" of a find on the streets of Blowing Rock this weekend. Not sure precisely what he is but we're adding him to the menagerie.

Lil Sparkle

So a brief note about C Luce, they do a really good job with moderately-priced cocktail dreses. Most of their stuff is in the low $100s. An easy, east solution for a last-minute dress solution. All from Monkees of Chapel Hill!! BTW, that BAG!!!!

C. Luce Bronze Cocktail Dress $144

Monkee's Green & Gold Earrings $40

Kate Spade New York Arica Purse $238

Vince Camuto Gold Metallic Heel $195

Pattern. Texture. Textiles.

The anticipation is killing me. Proud Mary's new collection on pre-sale this weekend. My order: one of everything.

Dwell On It

Woodland Rug by DwellStudio via Layla Grace

There's nothing like adding a little personality to a room with a rug. These rugs by DwellStudio add just the right touch of whimsy. While they're technically for kids rooms I see no reason that one of these rugs wouldn't be fun as say, a dining room rug (I love the Woodland rug above for that). OOhhh, I almost forgot-these are temporarily on sale at Layla Grace! Yay!
