Is your ideal home office dark and handsome or airy and light? Obviously a massive book collection is a constant ;)

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


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