10 Things I Love #4

1. Pretty much obsessed with this gorgeous dress from Summerland.



2. This video entitled "100 years of style in 100 seconds" originally found here on Oh So Lovely Vintage.



3.  The Cambridge Satchel Company.  Pretty sure I need one of their Batchels.  I don't know how I will ever choose just one color!

4. Moorea Seal's mini book necklaces are oh so pretty!  Perfect for any lover of the written word.


5. This fall's Jewel-toned jacket trend.  I personally own a bright red pea coat from Ann Taylor and if I weren't living on the southern hemisphere this year, I would be wearing the heck out of it right about now.
  


6.  How gorgeous is this little doll house?!  Is it weird that I want one?


7.  Normally I am against jeggings but I am so digging these legging jeans from GAP.  See miss Kendi of Kendi Everyday make them look ultra chic here.


8.  Another awesome lookbook video from the always fabulous Orla Kiely


9.  Absolutely obsessed with this Anna Sui skirt from Anthropologie.



10.  This super duper awesome little sprout shaped bookmark.  I love plants and I love books... it's a match made in heaven!  This would make an awesome stocking stuffer (*cough* hint, hint, mom).


Welp, that's all for today!  I hope you've enjoyed this latest installment of things I love (aka my "if I was a rich girl" list).  As always any and all comments are appreciated as long as they are nice and/or constructive.

Lots of love,

Spotlight On: The Velvet Bird's New Fall Dress Line

Hi there


I'm here today to share with you some pretty cool and exciting news!


Another one of my favorite fellow bloggers, the lovely miss Vanessa of The Velvet Bird has just released her new fall dress line.  From what I understand, this is the first clothing line that Vanessa has produced and she did a spectacular job.  The line consists of five different dresses and one cape, all centered around the adventures of a lovely character named Lola.  The best part is that 20% of all profits go to Love146.org to fight and prevent human trafficking in the U.S.  See my two favorite dresses below, and then click here to see the rest of Vanessa's gorgeous line.





Congratulations, Vanessa on your fabulous new line.  You have made quite an achievement and I can't wait to see even more lovely Velvet Bird dresses in the future!

I hope everyone has a fun, funky Friday (I love alliteration) and an even better weekend.

Love,

Amanda

Fair Ivy

Hello lovelies!


I am here to share with you a really neat concept that I recently came across online.  It's called Fair Ivy.  The whole idea is that you can pay a flat price and receive one package full of mostly handmade goodies or you can pay a monthly fee and receive a subscription to Fair Ivy which will get you a new goody bag each month. 



You can also buy surprise packages for your man, dog, cat, or teen.  Click the one of the links above to find out more!



Neat!
