bees’netta. grand opening.

for the past few years i’ve been following suzie‘s journey as she grew her company of handmade wares. handbags and accessories grew to also include jewelry and more. in the future she hopes to expand to carry other handmade brands and eventually apparel. i was more than excited to see an announcement for the grand opening of the new bees’netta online boutique.

inner tube {handbag}.

balkan tango has been making accessories by recycling goods since 2005. they are committed to protecting nature and design exclusively environmentally conscious items. each product is created one at a time between their workshop in budapest and a small factory in west hungary and is created from bicycle inner tubes.

check out their shop for wallets, phone cases, belts, laptop sleeves, and a bunch of different bag styles.

lucky we live hawaii.

boy, has the weather here in san francisco switched from hot to brrrrr……naturally, it has me missing home a lot {not that it’s the only time i miss it}. so i’ve had my eye on this shop for a while now and need just about everything in it. i mean, pieces of home are always comforting. ashley johnston‘s graphics are screen printed on the island of kaua‘i. here are a couple of faves…

bees’netta. sewing pattern.

i have been meaning to learn how to sew for some time now. in fact, i even signed up for an online class last year and borrowed a sewing machine from a friend and bought fun supplies. i’m embarrassed to say that i have yet to make use of the machine or any of the fabric i purchased. but if unlike me you are able to sew, check out suzie’s first pattern that was made with the beginner in mind…

the backpack.

have i told you that i’ve been doing some shopping in the back to school sections of stores? can’t help it. i love me some office-related supplies. and kids get so many fun things. but one of the best parts that i remember about getting ready for the next school year would be choosing a new bag. this special edition yellow one by moop is at the top of my list {i don’t have to be back in school to own one of these!}…

seeing stars.

while perusing ruche‘s site last night, i found this adorable dress

stars! and then i wondered what i’d wear under it {since i hate showing my legs}. how about some cute tights with a hint of a pattern…

and for a pop of color for my feet? comfy flats, of course!

and a cute bag is necessary, right?

i love fun colored shoes and accessories since my clothing contains a lot of muted tones. to complete the look i’d probably throw on a cardigan or maybe a boyfriend jacket for a different feel and add a favorite pair of earrings. done! hmmm…i really may need that dress.
