Serbian Made: Empress Design

You guys know how talented are Serbians, right? However while checking back all the Serbian Made posts I noticed that one thing is on top of the list of local crafters and this is jewelry. And as much as I try to bring something new every week, I end up falling in love with another creative ‘handmaker’ who designs jewelry. That’s what happened now. While looking for another potential feature I came across Empress Design, owned by Zorana who works with plexiglass (something new around here) to bring to life the cutest earrings, the most stylish belts and the prettiest necklaces you could ever imagine! How could I possibly not fall in love? The best thing about plexiglass jewelry is that it’s not pricey at all and everybody can afford it, not to mention how stunning it looks as a statement piece! I totally recommend checking Empress Design (they have SO many items!), here I highlighted a few of them:

Graham and Green {& happy weekend}

Hello everyone! TGIF, right? I don’t know how about you, but I for one am very happy it’s weekend and I get to spend some R&R time with my husband for the next two days (at least I hope for this). This week I’ve been absent a lot of time and believe me I’m feeling really bad because of this. I missed you all so much!

For the weekend I wanted to leave with a post about one lovely site which most likely you already know, Graham and Green. That is one gem of an online shop, people! Not only it’s so visually attractive, with a clean design and pretty colors, the styling of each product is beyond what you expect to see, it feels like they put all their stuff in one huge home and they’re shooting there every chair, side table or mirror in that respective room. Seriously, it’s a delight to browse Graham and Green shop! And wait to see their Christmas collection – a true winter wonderland!

Mint & Teal Christmas {this year’s fave}

Hello, friends! First of all let me apologize for being absent yesterday, leaving you with no post (can’t remember when that happened before, probably never). I was out of town all day, helping my MIL with her exhibition. But I’m back now! I missed you and hope you missed me too :D. And yes, happy December! Oh my, isn’t it unbelievable how fast time flies? In just one month we’ll say bye to 2010 and graciously embrace 2011. And this means what? Exactly – holidays are just around the corner, with reasons to decorate (and some shopping of course!). People are asking me what are  my favorite colors for Christmas this year and my answer is always the same: mint, teal, emerald green! I’m astonished by this color combo for a few weeks now! And imagine my face when I saw it in the latest Rue, on a Christmas tree (I was blown away, seriously!). The combo is so gentle yet so vibrant and modern. Traditional? No. Boring? No way! Awesome? Yes, please! I love it and will definitely consider decorating my tree with these shades. What about you?
