Dreaming of warm terra cotta tiles, sun-drenched skies, playful dressing.

Think sun-drenched hues on a lazy day. Summer living. Warm terra cotta tiles by the pool. Pale blues that blend with the sky and look good every day. Blue lace agate geodes paired with chains and pearls. White patent leather accessories. Looks that are undeniably playful. Always wearable. Undeniably Suzabelle paired with Anne Bocci jewelry and handbags.

Suzabelle designer Suzanne Jaberg does it again. Her new collection, Suzabelle Spring Summer is new at Anne Bocci Boutique. Suzie's collection is unique, full of her signature details and oh-so wearable. With a spring/summer palette of pale azure, taffy, gray and sun-drenched blue chambray, plus black & white, deep jade, this collection shows detailed styling and playful pieces that are no where near what you'd find at the mall. This is a collection with her indie character and those little extras, like hidden pockets, asymmetrical lines and antique brass details.

And jewelry and accessories that scream summer are long chains, rocks, geodes, natural cut stones, and real patent leather. The white leather bag is quality real patent leather with incredible craftsmanship, and playful heart latch. This is not the kind of patent leather you see at Macy's. This is rare to find. Real patent leather. And it's perfect size fits your cell phone and credit cards perfectly. These handbags and jewels are found in a tiny boutique in SW Portland.

Yes, he does it again! Seth Aaron Henderson just knows how to effortlessly put on a runway show! This time it's his Fall ready-to-wear collection, debuting at LA Fashion Week, Project Ethos show on March 12, 2011. What did we see? A bold splash of color, dramatic lines, and that little something extra that's a bit daring and edgy without being overdone. No frilly stuff here. Nothing too flowing bohemian chic, that's for sure. Seth Aaron gives us bold, strong collection with a pop of bright cherry red coupled with and his classic touch of menswear oversized hounds-tooth in a fitted, feminine silhouette. This year he paired his designs with Ms. Wood leather and wood shoes for a total look that really works.
And what a show! Takes us back to his finale collection at Bryant Park, with his Russian-inspired winning collection of Season 7 of Project Runway. And never has a t-shirt paired with black knickers ever looked so styling. It's Seth Aaron Henderson's own t-shirt design of his fun and graphic hair and big graphic lips with his side logo that reads, SA Mod. Long sleeve, soft tee-shirt. It's distinctly his, and only $58.

To learn more or see more of Seth Aaron Henderson's designs, mosey on over to my boutique. I'm SO lucky to get these in first! ♥
Seth Aaron Henderson's new designs can be found here.

cello

I'm having a torrid affair with the cello.
The bow drawing against the thick current of strings.
Waves of audible emotions swirling around in a well of warm wood before being thrown out through veins of light.
Yearning, reaching, ripping my heart out and tearing it to pieces as I beg for more.
If God has a voice, it surely is a cello.
Torture me with a plaintive cello passage in a minor key, and allow me to touch the core of my existence. Let me weep. Allow me to double over in deep, rich melancholy pain and lock me up forever. I beg of you...

Valentine's Day is near
Just wishing you were here
You will always be in my heart
So we'll never emotionally be apart
Beneath my skin, my soul lies waiting for you
Never give up hope
Remembering our first date
All I ask is to be with you
And for you to be my Valentine
For I will always cherish your heart in mine


Yes, Valentine's Day is just around the corner.
Here are a couple ideas that will make her smile.
