Favor Jewelry

I recently came across Favor Jewelry by Monika Reed and I am coveting all of her pieces. I love the delicate designs and that they are all handmade from recycled materials. My favorites are the Pebble Post earrings and Glyph Ring.

Brocante Market in St. Petersburg

Oh pardon me while I interrupt the silence happening over here lately to share some photos from the Brocante Vintage Market that I went to with a friend this past weekend. It was the first day it officially opened and there were swarms of people. It was a seriously a haven for all things vintage and collectible, definitely inspiring.

I was able to get a few snaps here and there when I stopped oohing and awwing at every area. There were so many pretty displays of their products, I just wanted to take it all home.



I don't know what it was about the vintage tool boxes, but I found myself really wanting to bring them home with me. I don't even own tools, I just knew I needed one.



In this picture: That disco ball, those chairs on the wall, that vintage globe, and how can we forget the Shake Pit sign. Fabulous.



I actually snuck between some clothing racks to get this shot. I love all of those glass bottles! I want to start a collection of my own.



Brocante only happens the first weekend of each month. It is definitely worth your time to visit if you're in the area. Like me, I'm sure you will find treasures to take home with you too. If you're going, be sure to check out their market dates and report back with your feedback and purchases! :)

City Tour: The Trunk Stylists

One of my most favorite places to shop these days in St. Petersburg is at The Trunk Stylists. Not only are the clothing and accessories sold there super cute, but so is the décor of the store. Their inventory is always changing, so every visit to the store is different. I never leave the store empty handed.

While shopping, you really can’t help but stop and marvel at the vignettes of cute, vintage knick knacks placed all around the store. The owner really has an eye for design. 

If you’re like me and appreciate style suggestions, they also provide style consultation to give you ideas on how to wear certain pieces. In fact, you can also host a private styling party at their store or your home and they’ll bring some of their clothing and accessories. I say, it’s a pretty convenient way of redressing your closet in a fun new way.

Their inventory also includes items made from local designers and artists. You already know I’m a fan of shopping local and supporting small business. So there’s another point for The Trunk Stylists. 

If you happen to be in town and in the Grand Central district, I highly recommend stopping by. But if can’t visit their store, check out their website for the same products and get them shipped to your home. I’d also keep up-to-date with their ever-changing inventory and style ideas on their Facebook page!

VivaTerra

Have you ever heard of VivaTerra? Their shop offers so many beautiful earth inspired products. Many that are organic and sustainable, handcrafted by artists all around the world. These are a few of my favorite home accessories: Card Wreath to hold cards and photos, Tablet Easel to look at Pinterest while baking/cooking, Wood Stool to bring some wood decor in the home, Moroccan Lamps for an exotic look.

City Tour: Paper Street Market

The Grand Central District in St. Petersburg on Central Avenue is home to a ton of art galleries, antique shops, clothing boutiques and eclectic restaurants and bars. It's a street that you want to drive down slowly and make mental notes of where you want to stop by next time you're in the area. Or if you're like me, you pick a place and quickly turn in to park. That's exactly what I did when I saw Paper Street Market.

Its vintage furniture and home accents displayed in the windows and the welcoming opened doors were just calling me in. I just knew my visit would be worth it. When I walked in, I was not disappointed. 

This store offers a mix of industrial pieces, timeless vintage furniture, jewelry, local art and knick-knacks for the nooks and crannies of your home. So many unique and (affordable) one of a kind pieces curated and displayed all over the store. It's fun to hunt around to see what you can find here. 

Need a monogram for your wall? How about a word? There's an entire wall devoted to a bunch of letters in different shapes, sizes and colors to choose from. Definitely one of my favorite parts of the store. One day, I'll have to go back and get some letters to spell "EAT" to put in my kitchen. :) 

I am so glad I was able to spot this shop. It's quickly become one of my favorite stores in St. Pete. I won't be a stranger to the Paper Street Market, I just hope my wallet won't hate me!

Beautiful photography by Romina of Miles of Light. I am loving her nature inspired work, and these colors! I am such a sucker for them.

Follow Studio

I'm a big believer in beauty in simplicity, and the Follow Studio is just that. So it's no surprise that I instantly fell in love with this shop. Their line of paper goods and little things for the everyday has simple elegance with a bit of *whimsy* in their handmade design.  Like a breath of fresh air.
