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 Garçons by Rei Kawakubo. Not really my style but so creatively executed. There’s a real thrill in anticipating a launch (not that I was ever there for the opening of the doors). My favorite H&M collections …
Elizabeth Showers Jewelry

Pedro Garcia Noa in Black
Just saw these Noas in black. Looks like they have black-reddish sparkles. I prefer them in the pink-gold version but thought these were cute anyway. I wonder who are the best retailers who carry a wider selection of Pedro Garcias? I also like the black “Rachel” wedges paired off with jeans.

Thanks to my hubby who helped me with Photoshop.
Spatzle Consulting a German Language Book
We will need to get him a more comprehensive German to English language book. He has such a happy little face.

Exotic Rugs Lindau Island, Germany
Right after dinner at Rost Bar, I decided I had to get a closer look… Aren’t they beautiful? I can’t believe how nice these pics came out; it seems almost as if we were inside the store. The store was closed since it was almost midnight. *Photocredit: Andrew G.
