yes, it’s time for another installment. again, it’s been far too long!

this is what i am coveting right now:

these lara bohinc rose gold hoop earrings set with white onyx and synthetic diamond stones, at accessories lounge UK:

i actually wrote about them recently on the stylehive blog, here.

or these rich, dark wood and gold hoops from round design, at creatures of comfort:

i’d be quite happy to own one of these rough-hewn rings from berlin’s sigrid widmoser, that look so much like pieces of ice you can wear on your hand:

***

i am SO saving my pennies to get this orla kiely halter/tank with it’s amazing graphic tree print, as it would fit right into my closet like a hand in a glove:

this ananas bag (@ bloomingdales.com) is in the perfect grey color (one of my color obsessions of late), and it’s got the most lovely organic-looking wood buttons. i love the juxtisposition of the grey leather and wood. it looks so rich to me.

***

i love the huge rhinestone on the toe of these pumps, by beatrix ong:

orange and gold together make me smile from ear to ear, and the royal blue with black is mighty fine too. i’ve got a lovely royal blue vintage silk dress that would go quite well with them. if only! if only!

my my, missoni. these heels (found at zappos) aren’t for everyone, but i love a rainbow. i fear no color!
