sandro

I know nothing about this brand, Sandro, or where you can buy it ... but it sure is lovely, isn't it? 

Pretty + femine but easy pieces.  The best combo, in my opinion!

moio scarves

Really great scarves by MOIO ... would be the perfect addition to jeans + a t-shirt ...

I love the grommet accents.

siwa

The minimalist + paper lover in me ADORES these products by Japanese company, SIWA ...

Apparantly, the paper is treated so that its "flexible and water resistant material and gets softer with use."  Love!

dipped

I'm loving this idea of giving a pop of color by just a little dip into paint ...
