The other day I stumbled upon this vintage nymph from MeshuMash's totally rad shop and fell in love!  So pretty, she definitely belongs on Great Aunt Adilla's windowsill.

Shopping Faux Gold

204 nations are gathered under the Olympic Flag in London this week. Around 10,500 athletes in total. And they all want gold.


If like me, you've been watching these athletes in amazement, you might want gold too, maybe not real gold, maybe just something gold colored...



This limited edition gold leather credit card wallet by Sakao, really makes me smile, it is so ostentatious.

I love Hollywood Regency, the high glamour, low cost aesthetic is one that is definitely back in fashion in 2012. And what makes this statement better than a vintage gold plastic tissue box cover?
