Wow.... already a month I don't update the blog! I am so sorry!!! I am alive and back here so don't worry, you'll see many more of my posts =)

Work and extra projects took most of my free time and I just couldn't blog anymore, but here I am again!

Today I do not bring fashion, but photography that reminds me of Spring. Finally, the bad bad weather is going away and it is warm enough to sunbathe (yay!)..... Me = Happy =)

Sellers, left to right, top to bottom: ships, buckscountyframes, janeheller, ModernClassicPaper, BroomhillPictures, photosbykarina, zuppaartista, dakotafire, staceywinters

Hope you like the small selection! I promise fashion this week =)

This time the gift guide is written by me, I jumped into my favourites and selected the jewelry items that I liked most. Obviously all of them (or at least most of them) are jewelry for women. After all, most women are addicted to jewelry! (I know I am!)

Every family has a member who loves earrings, necklaces, rings or bracelets. In my case it is earrings! So I hope this gift guide helps you out when choosing a present for that person.

Some of these items are quite expensive, that is why they still are in my favourites and not in my pocket! haha And I have many many more in my favourites, maybe some other day I will share them with you too =)

Enjoy!

So I bought a laptop before my failed move to Madrid. Now I have 3 computers at home (my parents home) lol. BUT, I will 99% sure move out of the house, so I will cherish this little thing for days to come, I'm sure of that. But black/grey is a little boring, don't you think? Well, I discovered we can make our gadgets even more fashionable! Laptops, iPods, phones, etc.
Some of you already know about this, I am talking about getting some cool skins for your gadgets! Dressing them with super cool art.

And I found two great sites that sell skins: SkiniZi and Gelaskins
Full of new artists, as well as old time classics!

After taking a look at their designs, what was my surprise when I found at least 2 Etsy artists on SkinIzi: gorjuss and Anne-Julie! I always loved their art and now I can have it in my laptop! Maybe there are more etsy artists, but these two are the ones I could recognize at first glance.

And now I am trying to choose between laptop skins, let me show you the ones I pre selected! =)

• The Enamored Whale
• Growth
• Gummi Anatomie
• London
• New York
• The Exchange
• Ragdolls
• Spirit Of Medicine Lake
• Summer Oasis
• Red Robot Leaving the City
• Denied
• Swirl
• Love is stronger than nature
• Jungle
• Blow fish
• Going to california
• Lift
• The Great Wave
• Kandinsky
• Swan
  

I know I know, I picked too many! But they are all so cool, I can't easily decide =) Plus I have to find if there is any big difference between the gelaskins ones and the skinizi's.
So, which one do you like better? Help me decide by posting your favourite (even if it is not in the list) in the comments ;)

And since my mp3 decided to die on me, I will probably get an ipod nano soon... mwuahaha!

The contest for the copper waterfall earrings by MusetteMade still runs until Sunday Midnight, but since I am moving today, I needed to post next week's giveaway today, so you can start participating.

This week: Autumn's Alchemy Art Pendant by heartworksbylori


Lori makes the most fabulous art pendants ever! The images she uses are stunning. Don't you want this on your neck? =)

What Lori says about it:

I have the extreme pleasure of collaborating with Etsy award-winning photographer, Irene Suchocki. Her stunning work was featured on a recent episode of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition". She creates 'little poems for the eyes' and our talents merge to bring you little poems to adorn your neck!

This photograph is printed on Kodak Endura's gorgeous metallic paper. The colors are exceptionally vivid and the image has a unique three-dimensional quality. The paper has a lovely pearlescent sheen and it's simply stunning in it's brass frame. The beautiful & vibrant image is mounted on an antique oxidized brass square filigree frame and hangs on a tiny brass link chain. It's sealed with a glass-like coating for protection and shine and is finished with a lobster clasp.

The pendant measures 1 1/2 inches x 1 1/2 inches. The chain is 16 inches long, but can be lengthened to 18 inches per your request.

Rules to enter:

1. Visit heartworksbylori's shop and pick a favourite item.
2. Leave a comment in this post with your favourite item and a way to contact you (email or etsy link. Leave a contact or I won't be able to place you in the draft).
3. I will select the winner from the comments with a random number generator.
   

This giveaway ends 12th October at midnight EST. Good luck!



As I said earlier, I am moving to Madrid today! I don't know when I will have internet again but will try to answer all your emails and post from time to time. Don't stop visiting the blog! If all goes well I will post minimum twice a week =)
I'm so nervous! I start a new job on Monday! Well, talk to you soon guys!

If you are a seller and want to offer an item for a giveaway, contact me (see contact details in last section of left column)

After working a lot this last weeks, finally I can show you some pictures of the silk bags I have been making.
First type of bag I have been working in is a small bag, sort of party style bag. So far I only have made 2, please tell me what do you think:


The idea is that each bag will be unique because the silk design used as fabric can't be reproduced twice.

The second type of bag is a hobo bag made of fake leather with silk sewn to it.


I hope you like this new addition!
Soon also new brooches and necklaces! :)
