DRESS:
Samantha Pleet x Urban Outfitters c/o of Pleet

Earlier this month, Samantha Pleet released her exclusive collection for Urban Outfitters. As usual, I was completely smitten with Pleet's designs - using prints seeped in allegorical references, her signature silhouettes, and casting her equally talented and beautiful friends to make the pieces come to life in a video that could only be described as a dream come true - this collection makes my heart sing!

Samantha was sweet enough to send me one of my favorite pieces from the line - the Scout Dress has a gorgeous leafy vine and oranges print. My favorite part of the dress would have to be the cut out, knotted detailing, however! It's unlike anything I have in my wardrobe, and so perfect for Spring!






Self Portrait: As Jean Shrimpton by Bert Stern

Saturday, March 21, 2015

In honor of Spring's arrival, I decided to recreate one of my all time favorite photos - Bert Stern's floral portrait of Jean Shrimpton has always stuck with me for it's sheer beauty.

I plan on doing more self portraits as some of my favorite 60s ladies! I really love taking self portraits - though I do sometimes wish I could just clone myself because it would be easier then running back and forth between the backdrop and the camera, flowers falling out of my hair as I go...!

Happy Spring!

Good After Nine Jewelry

CAT RING *, SWAN RING *, PINK UNICORN RING *, GOLD UNICORN RING *

Good After Nine, a jewelry store I've had my eye on for a while now, was sweet enough to get in touch and send me some rings to review!

Handmade and painted by a duo Tidarin Srisook (nickname "Nine") and Don in Bangkok, Thailand, I am truly blown away by these!


Special thanks to my friend Ali for sending me the Lush unicorn horn bath bomb!

The rings arrived in darling little branded cardboard boxes, wrapped in polkadot tissue paper. The actual rings themselves are carefully carved, with crisp lines and carefully drawn eyes. I absolutely love these! They have a wide variety of darling designs - ranging from birds, to domestic pets, to unicorns - and one attention to detail on each one is breathtaking!

Nine is also offering readers 15% off of your order with the coupon code "MERMAIDENS" until April 30th!
