Devon Baer Designs

Luxe Bee necklace

Pearl prepster necklace

Summer crab belt

I would like to introduce you to one of my new sweet sponsors, Devon Baer Designs. The Manhattan based Designer brings her love for fashion and interiors to a new accessory line that bears her name.

I am loving her luxe bee necklace for a real statement piece slipped on with a simple white vest, cloudy wash skinny jeans and gold gladiators. Also, her pretty feminine Pearl prepster necklace. For some preppy, whimsical charm I am coveting her cute rhinestone-encrusted Summer crab belt.

Check out her store for more whimsical handcrafted belts and jewelry that reflect her personal style of urban sophistication and classic elegance inspired by antiques and the lovely world of interior design.

Have a sweet day!

Anna Lou of London

I discovered Anna Lou of London the other day and what a delight! The bright mix of colours drew me in as I walked past the door in Fouberts Place. Although most of the pieces aren't to my personal taste, I couldn't help but appreciate what the designer Anna Scaife is doing in her handcrafted brightly-coloured plastic kitsch pieces.



I just couldn't walk away without buying the large coral plastic flower brooch above!

Alex Monroe

Bird in the nest ring

Following on from my discussion of birds as a trend, I'd like to introduce a British jewellery designer, Alex Monroe, whose designs I've really fallen for. They're delicate, pretty, and vintage-looking.

My favourite pieces are from 'The Poet and the Nest' collection and I particularly adore the 'Bird in the nest' ring above, with a pearl as the setting. As a child, I remember being enchanted by this sort of delicate, whimsical jewellery that was so personal to the wearer.

Little bird charm bracelet


From his website:

"His designs are slightly quirky, sometimes cute, but always very feminine."

"Meander through the British countryside to the sound of birdsong. This lively collection captures the energy and spirit of our smallest native song birds. Pink and blue Topaz stones dance with Goldcrests and Reed Warblers among the branches and leaves of the summer meadows. Take a piece of summer with you where ever you go!"

Fans include Kate Moss, Britney Spears, Thandie Newton, and Amy Winehouse, to name a few!
