Day-Tripping in Philly

One of my favorite things about traveling is finding cool little places with unique trinkets that I can bring back home. I absolutely fell in love with The Little Apple, a boutique of new, vintage and repurposed pieces, such as a gorgeous Hollywood film set room divider. There were vintage postcards, artsy wine bags, great jewelry, coffee table books, etc. Molly, the delightful shopkeeper and owner stocks the shelves with such fantastic things that I wished I could bring the whole store back with me in a shopping bag. I even wanted to take the dog, LoL!

I'd Rather Wear a Unique Story

Hello all! I'm back from my trip to California, including Napa Valley (outstanding!) and getting a bunch of new posts ready out of 1500+ pics. 

It'll be a few days before I post so in the meantime, have a look at Boticca, an interesting online shop I just discovered. Four people in four different cities got together to scour the world for top emerging designers, their stories and their exquisite pieces. They showcase the distinct styles found around the globe, their tagline being "I'd Rather Wear a Unique Story". I love the concept! Wish I had come up with that..  After looking over hundreds of their coolest items, here are some of my top picks:

Summer is here! Get yourself in the mood for upcoming travels by dressing the part. I'm a total jewelry junky so I'm loving these bold pieces by Elizabeth Coletta – sparkly jewels, playful little animals, and stylish designs.. makes me wanna be on a yacht in Newport or sipping a daiquiri on an Antiguan beach. It's hard to choose just one since they're all so beautiful and inexpensive!  I <3
