Friday Favs: Summer Mood

Summer is on my mind and I am dreaming of sunny skies and turquoise oceans. I definitely need some time in my happy place! In the meantime, I am sharing what caught my eye this week. Big news this week, I am feeling brave and adding my original artwork for sale. A couple of weeks ago, I took a leap of faith and featured my artwork alongside my jewelry. And much to my surprise I sold my paintings than jewelry.

Friday Favs: Retro Surf Vibes

I stumbled (or scrolled) upon a new-to-me brand that I absolutely fell in love with. Meet Begg x Co that creates the most luxurious cashmere on the Scottish coastline. I am obsessed with the retro cashmere polo with the surfer strips & hibiscus. There’s a retro and yet modernity to the styles showcased below. And how about the “Happy Place” surfboard by Kerri Rosenthal.

I know it’s almost summer here in North Carolina but could not pass up the opportunity to share these beautiful cashmere sweaters with you.

1. Who can resist this Surfer Cardigan by Begg x Co?

2. The ocean is definitely my Happy Place. So this Happy Place Surfboard is so a propos.

3. I’m still on the hunt for the perfect summer bag and this Tory Burch Mini Ella Bio Tote in Skylight Blue might just be the one.

4. This Watercolor Shell Gift Set in an abalone shell is adorable. What a great gift for a coastal-loving artist!

5. Summer Isles Cardigan by Begg x Co with the blue and turquoise hibiscus flowers is definitely on my wish list.

6. I have been crushing on the Office Of Angela Scott for a while now. Seems like the perfect time to introduce you! Shown is the Remi Sneaker but this pair, the Elliot Sneaker in clover, would be so cute, too.

7. This men’s Rip Tide Polo is my all-time favorite and reminds of my teenage years of sitting on the sand watching the surfers catch a wave. Always the spectator watching from afar.

8. Some of my paintings that I am considering brining to a life as a collection.

9. I love the blues & greens in these Marie & Oakley Necklaces and believe they would be the perfect complement for these beautiful Begg x Co sweaters.
