{holiday give-away: crystal necklace}
. . . and while we're on the topic of holiday soirées, now that a winner of the last glamorous give-away has been announced, it's on to the next, and utterly delighted to announce this week's holiday give-away: from swoon, vintage inspired handmade jewelry filled with the romance of forgotten vintage and antique pieces such as brooches, bracelets, chains and buckles, intermingled with semi-precious beads and stones to create beautiful works of art . . .
. . . and for the impossibly exciting news: one glamorous reader will win the adeline necklace {retail $200.00}, made of glittering strands of crystal in shades of powdery blue and smokey grey and adorned with a stunning rhinestone brooch, as perfect with a soft, brushed cotton t-shirt under a belted cardigan while at the shops searching for the perfect gifts, as with a sequined party dress and sky-high peeptoes on a festive december night . . .

Inspired Rooms: Electric White
Isn't this Marmora Road Victorian home truly lovely? It's been featured pretty much everywhere, from Light locations, but still. Amazing how a home can be graceful, cozy and charming all at the same time.
The white plank floors and pale, dove gray walls with those gorgeous molding makes a simply sweet canvas. I love how there are unexpected pops of bright color in each room.
Scattered art in ornate frames, dark stained wood mixed with painted wood pieces, ornate frames and lighting mixed with clean simple lines, i feel like it's the best of both worlds here.

NYC Digs: Hidden Treasures
I have many great articles in my closet with a fabulous story behind them. That is the best part, is owning pieces that have a more enthralling hisstory than some factory in China. Like my knee length vintage fur coat. I found it in Austin, Texas but it was made in England and now it has followed me to New York.
On my shopping excursion on Black Friday, I found a fantastic thrift store out in Greenwich Village that you definitely need to check out! Monk Vintage on MacDoogal Street is a great find. Overflowing with designer goods and vintage treasures you are sure to find something fabulous for your wardrobe!
