Beaded Beauties

HAVE. YOU. EVER seen ANYTHING so beautiful?  Because I have not. (Huuuuuuuuuuge sigh).  Behold: Local Charleston shop Ro Sham Beaux‘s newest addition over at (me & my girl‘s old stomping grounds and local home décor gem), Celadon Home.

The beaut in the pic above with me is Caitlin.  The beaut hanging from the ceiling is called “The Frankie.”  And she’s a cool $2800, but a girl can dream.  On the heels of the Kids’ Room post, could you IMAGINE how gorgeous it would be chez a little Bambino??  Or better yet, in my bedroom?  I die.  Camille Styles (do you know her?? She’s a DOLL!) used a similar style called The Malibu Chandelier from Serena & Lily in her nursery, and it was presh.  I know, I know… I just said “presh.”  But I really meant it.

Homegirl Jamie Meares also has a version of this beaded wonder over at her shop, Furbish.

Happy Friday!!  Hope you guys have a great weekend!

Throwback Track Thursday

Alright…  why don’t you stop typing for a second, then do yourself a favor and hit play.  I stopped in my tracks last week at the grocery store when I heard this for the first time since I was probably 12, and I haven’t stopped tone-deaf belting it out since then…  and flashing back to the days when big hair, bodysuits & Bel Biv Devoe were all the rage. (Sigh), I miss the 90’s.  Also, who does Nikki Minaj think she is?? Gurl. We don’t disrespect Mariah.

Speaking of big hair…  here’s what mine looked like right about the time that video came out. Very Simba chic, and long before Keratin treatments existed.  Obvi.

Happy Thursday!
