    ▴ Beach please!
    ▴ How cute is this necklace?!
    ▴ I was just going to choose one piece of lingerie from this shop to share but I can’t. Aniela Parys makes some seriously dreamy stuff!
    ▴ These vintage boots kill me! I love that pocket on the side.
    ▴ A lapel pin featuring two of my favorite things – cats + macarons!
    ▴ I love this washi tape holder. I would love a better way to display mine so that it’s easier to use and of course, see what all I have. This one looks perfect, especially how you can stack them. 

    Happy Friday!!
    xoxo
