Show & Tell {Friedasophie}

Happy Monday, everyone! I love when bloggers introduce me to their favorite Etsy sellers. The site is an incredible resource for handmade and vintage wares but honestly a little overwhelming to navigate unless you're searching for something specific. I thought we'd do a little show and tell today — I'll show you one of my favorite shops and you tell me yours!

{Marrakesh cluster earrings, $28}

Friedasophie pairs colorful stones with 24 karat gold to create versatile jewelry whose beauty lies in its simplicity. Take these orange stunners, for instance: perfect with a white dress in summertime or a gray cardigan come winter.

{Turquoise drop necklace, $19}

An everyday necklace for less than $20? This pendant is effortlessly chic thrown on over a white tee and jeans or layered with other pieces for a more bohemian feel.

{Natural green garnet and 24 karat gold pendant necklace, $49}

I love this garnet and gold combination. The colors work over all neutrals, perfect for fall's resurgence of all things camel and khaki. 

{Viola ruby vermeil stacking ring, $49}

Piles of jewelry are all the rage right now — see trendsetters Mary-Kate Olsen and Rachel Zoe. Work the look into your repertoire with these darling single stone rings in a variety of universally flattering jewel tones.

{Turquoise and 24 karat gold pendant necklace, $65}

This one-of-a-kind pendant is a total statement piece. Can you tell I'm loving turquoise?

{Silver grey druzy and 24 karat gold pendant necklace, $59}

 I love the organic shape and the unbelievably luxe dipped-in-gold effect of this druzy pendant.

Which of these gorgeous pieces from Friedasophie will you be adding to your shopping cart and what are some of your other favorite Etsy shops?

If You Can't Take The Heat

Confession: I can't cook. I won't bore you with the tragic details but suffice it to say I'm a Chinese takeout-turned-leftovers girl as opposed to a slave-for-hours-at-the-stove girl. Might a kitchen like these encourage me to give cooking the old college try?

{Tom Scheerer}

Well-stocked bars are a blogger favorite for a reason! The styling of this little buffet vignette is undeniably chic — pretty packaging, pops of green and yellow, and a mix of matte (basket trays, lampshade) and reflective (bottles, mirror) surfaces. Flawless!

{via Little Green Notebook}

Who says practicality can't be chic? Even bottled beer and canned beans look appealing when lined neatly behind glass doors. Simple white cabinetry, timeless subway tiles, and a Kitchenaid mixer are key ingredients of my dream kitchen.

{Jonathan Berger}

What's your take on this mirrored cabinetry? It's quirky but it kind of works, doesn't it? If you have a view that's worth reflecting (for instance, this pretty chocolate brown living room with its white coral mirror), I say why not!

{Canadian House & Home}

Hands down my most favorite kitchen to date. Sleek cabinetry and appliances, mirrored penny tiles, a turquoise ceiling to boot? Forget what I said before — I'm so there!

P.S. Please be sure to check out my guest post on Helena's blog A Diary of Lovely today — who doesn't love fall fashion under $50?
