I am charmed by the designs with lace edging by Kevia. Most of the jewelry is in gold vermeil (which isn’t a bad substitute for 14K or 18K gold). I believe vermeil is real gold plated over sterling silver. My mom loves jewelry designs that are delicate and beautiful so I bought her the “Blossom” …
Yet Another H&M Designer Collaboration (A)
Not sure what made me think of H&M’s designer collaborations? I guess this year’s collaboration was with Comme des Garรงons by Rei Kawakubo. Not really my style but so creatively executed.

We will need to get him a more comprehensive German to English language book. He has such a happy little face.
