Here are my latest finds and news from fashion, style, film and beautiful living.

Fail Deco Cuff, Oxidized Silver and Brass

As of late, besides leather cuffs (my collection is constantly growing), I’ve been into simple, raw-looking jewellery. These silver and brass cuffs and bangles have won me over and one of them will soon be mine. Paired with a crisp white shirt or a navy turtleneck, they would give these timeless items a welcome quirky touch. I would also like that lovely Up in the Air Somewhere (cool brand name, right?) paper maché bowl for my coffee table.

    I wish I could see the Vintage Lifestyle Magazine, Ada, but I can’t, the link is not working. As I said before, yes to flats and short skirts/dresses otherwise the look is not chic at all. I did not see Lincoln, but I intend to this weekend and I want that bowl, please 😉 Have a lovely day :*

    Great interview Ada! And those cuffs are absolutely beautiful – I love the rawness. I haven’t seen Lincoln yet but I’m looking forward to the costumes as with all period cinema. I’m putting that Balenciaga book on the list! :)x
