there is something about bridges...

how rad are these cuffs by betsy and iya (see our last post on this amazing line/shop!)?  they are inspired by various bridges. you'll find the year built and geographic coordinates encoded inside - so totally cool. dying over these!

ps:  i got these at her shop over the weekend! xo, k

bff bracelets

we didn't actually see these in bali, but T went to a trunk show for Cleobella and got these bracelets from bali! i wear my "bff" bracelet every day and i get a ton of compliments! it looks like they're sold out right now on singer22, but if we find out someone else is selling them, we'll let you know, promise. xo, k

we both got this bracelet

here's some others we loved: 

drooling over :: boet

i got my hair done at a brand spankin' new salon last night (which deserves a post to itself, so stay tuned!). the art on the walls was super rad crocheted rope by portland artist, Emily Bixler, and they were also selling her tdf necklaces made of cotton, brass and silver. the line is called Boet. are you kind of dying over these? because i am!

no commitment necessary.

i saw the link to these designy temporary tattoos on A Cup of Jo and thought they were so cool - i bet you can guess which one we like the most?! this goes back to our post about tattoos and how neither of us could ever get one...maybe this is the next best thing? good stocking stuffer for sure!

maaaaybe we can convince them to make one that says miss b and hustle or MBAH4EVA?! :)

Betsy & Iya

There's a little shop that just opened up by my house, that I can't wait to check out. If you're in Portland, there's a grand opening, I'm hoping to attend, tomorrow night! There are rad items at every price point and in my ongoing attempt to accessorize more, I'm definitely going to pick up a few of these pieces. I love the "Amour" earrings and the keys, too. Take a look . . . but maybe wait until your lunch break . . .there's a lot to check out!

Also, check out my guest post on Fit With Flash today! You'll see a few of my workout essentials and you'll love Ami's blog! xo, K

while in portland we stopped by my now favorite store up there (same place we got these)... 

and i found this eco-friendly bag and LOVE it! i get so many compliments on it!

they carried all kinds of styles from this line and seriously each one was amazing...

check out more on their site (and on shopbop too!)

Maya Moon Designs

On Taryn's visit to PDX we stopped into one of my favorite NW stores, Lizard Lounge. We fell in love with these stripped leather bracelets by Maya Moon (thanks to the patient gal working there who kept unlocking the cases for us to try them on!). I bought one in orange and T bought one in beige and I get compliments every time I wear it! Each piece in the Maya Moon Collection is handcrafted by the artist in her Bend, Oregon studio. Produced on a made to order basis and entirely cut and crafted by hand, no two pieces are exactly alike. Loving her earrings, clutches and handbags, too!
