I can’t help but re-blog these Kenneth Jay Lane art deco earrings that my SwingFashionista buddy Jo Hoffberg posted up. I want them badly! At $150, I can’t justify them, but if you can (Christmas present perhaps?), get them here.

These designer Art Deco drop-earrings are surrounded with round and baguette crystals. Opaque turquoise beads are framed with angled black enamel inlays and the turquoise is visible from both sides of these silver-plated earrings. Finished with the Kenneth Jay Lane stamp of authenticity, these fashionable earrings are truly unique.

Metal: Silver plated
Stone: Austrian crystal
Length: 2.5”

Desire to Inspire, one of my favorite interior design blogs just posted this absolutely gorgeous Australian home. The stark palette makes it a little colder than I would normally prefer, but it does make it terribly glamorous. Black laquered wood, leather sofas, crystal and glass, floral wallpapers and subdued rugs, and of course the black and white checkerboard tiles. Classic!

Via Desire to Inspire: “Australian interior designer Greg Natale has established himself as the leading exponent in this country of what one could call Hollywood Regency but with an Australian twist. What results, especially in this recent residential project, is the elevation of everyday living to something glamorous, something just a little more special, something with just a touch of the unexpected.”
