This has to be one of the prettiest little trinket boxes I’ve seen. This sweet Macaroon Trinket Box looks so perfect and delicate like any other French handmade macaron we have all come to love. I seem to collect little vintage trinkets and knick·knacks that are sometimes hard to store because of their size. But with this perfectly sized jewelry box, all your little keepsakes are taken care of nestled in between a beautiful wide array of candy colored macarons.
These little bite size boxes are also great for gift giving perhaps for an anniversary (believe me she will love it), bridal shower or just for one of your dear friends to say “I love you”. Whatever the case may be, if you want to buy a present for yourself or someone else to cheer them up, this can be done by buying this ever so lovely Macaroon Trinket Box.
Have a Sweet Day!!!!
We saw this collection and we thought it was just BAD***, in a good way. Nothing says hey I’m a good girl with a wink then a stylish piece of metal swinging from the neck. Oh yeah, you know what we’re saying!
The Brante Summer collection for 2014 is chock full of handmade jewelry that has a futuristic appeal. If we sped through time we would see these creations being worn on a everyday basis like it’s just part of the daily uniform. The geometric shapes and unique detailing scream “I’m cool, you know you want to wear me.” Yes, you’re right we do, we really do.
The scenery is amazing, the weather is perfection and your hair looks like you stuck your finger in a socket. Do not let humidity or the beach air get the best of your hair. There …
Joan smalls becomes real life pop art in the “Girls from Mars” Missoni F/W 2014 Campaign. The sculptures make the campaign look so surreal. The rough Grecian setting really sets the mood so that the clothes really stand out. Between the strikingly bright clothes along with Joan smalls dark skin this is a win for Missoni and quite a striking look in the right direction for further campaigns.

COACH HITS THE RESET BUTTON: First came the clothes, and now, the campaign.
Coach under the creative direction of Stuart Vevers is definitely changing things up. The photos, which feature Vevers’ debut ready-to-wear collection, feature an “image-on-image” style, juxtaposing new portraits lensed by Steven Meisel against photos from Joel Sternfeld’s “Landscape With Path” series.
“It was important that it felt true to the spirit of the new Coach girl, but even more importantly was for people to sense a change,” said Vevers. “This is a reset.”
Vevers decided to feature up-and-coming models like Leona Binx Walton for the new look for Coach. “It’s about the next generation,” said Vevers. “To me, that also signaled a sense of change in newness and capturing these girls that feel fresh and new.”
“We’re not just a fashion brand,” he said. “We’re not just a brand with history. We’re a brand that has a very strong DNA as a house of quality, a house of leather and a house of craftsmanship. The photos represent who we are today and where we are going. It’s a youthful, Millennial consumer very much dressed in a modern expression of today’s workwear. And that’s how people globally are dressing.”
FlashBlack Friday’s Sara Lou Harris Top Black Model
Born in 1926 in North Carolina Sara Lou Harris became a high fashion model breaking many racial barriers and paving the way for women of color that walked the runway after her. Sara Lou was able to change the perception of the African American woman from a servant to a glamour icon. She was signed by Branford Lovelies of the Branford Modeling Agency, the very first modeling agency for black women. She then went on to appear on widely popular magazines such as Ebony, Jet and Tan.
In 1959 she married John Carter. Carter worked as a barrister and in 1963 he was appointed as counsel of Queen Elisabeth II. Carter was then honored by the Queen who knighted him. Sara Lou Harris then became known as Lady Sara Lou. Now she was able to “help her own people” by now having this new platform.
I always wanted to make something of myself – to help my own people” said Sara Lou Harris in an interview for the New York Times in 1966
