Flickr Mondays-Hues of Orange

March 21st, 2011 by kirstenfinkas

So happy the sun is out today…even if it is for a short time.

More photos here.

Elva Fields

April 6th, 2010 by samanthatroy

How rad are these necklaces from Elva Fields? I love so many of them. Unfortunately since they are all one of a kind, almost all of them have been bought by other lucky fashionistas. To make them even more awesome, a portion of each online purchase is donated to charity.
