I am a firm believer that when something is created out of love, it shows. There is an intangible beauty that lives in authenticity, a simple perfection that cannot be faked. Sima Gilady, of Sima G Jewelry, is a shining example of my theory at work. Gilady looks at [...]

I first spied Oli + me on former contributor Suann Songs blog.  Suann isn’t a big jewelry person so when she highlights a jewelry designer you know they must be special.  I on the other hand am a jewelry person and my taste veers to either the extremely dainty or the extremely bold [...]

You knew the Adorn project wasn’t just about baubles and bits of shiny for your favorite outfit, right?  We wanted to accessorize your living space as well.  So I asked Estela Lugo the owner of online lifestyle emporium Modern Dose if she was up for playing.  I had my eye on [...]

I would like to take the time to introduce to you my new ‘partner-in-shine’ Miss Lindsey!  To say she is replacing Miss K would not do either of them justice, as Miss K is one-of-a-kind and completely irreplaceable and Miss Lindsey has proven herself above and beyond my expectations.  You see, Miss K is off [...]

{please visit the whitney english company here}
We couldn’t very well do a hue themed month without a nod to a company synonymous with saturated color, bold patterns and motifs, now could we?  The Whitney English Company founded in 2002 by Whitney Kolb is a company for paper lovers everywhere that prefer their stationery products ‘shaken [...]

Nicole Gerulat loved all of your answers to her feature and well we love Nicole.  Nicole, a commercial photographer (and one of my very faves) as you may know is the creative genius behind Nicole’s Classes.  Besides their new online courses and books, they have live creative workshops all over the country.  February 19 + [...]

Nothing makes me happier when I am scouting for the BSP then to A) find a gem that perhaps you haven’t heard of yet, B) finding a contributor that totally ‘gets’ the project and bonus C) is a kindred spirit. Interior Designer, Julie Thigpen the founder of Modern Chic Home [...]
