Pink Florals

I'm already counting down the days until springtime, flirty dresses and sunshine. These snaps were taken for Sweet & Spark a few seasons ago when San Francisco was in full bloom. This floral dress is unfortunately sold out (I know, boo), but there's some good news too! We're already hard at work curating next season's apparel and jewels. Looking forward to launching our new Sweet & Spark clothing collection for Spring in a couple months, which includes balloon sleeves, eyelet fabrics and ruffles.

Sweet & Spark Apparel and Vintage Jewelry

Around the Apartment

Here's a little peek inside our San Francisco apartment as well as my home office. I spend most of my time at my desk working on the computer, lots of answering emails and photoshopping! But my favorite little corner is where I keep all my jewelry displayed and organized on my dressing table. I get to admire it every day from the moment I wake up and see it from my bed, until the moment I grab a spritz of perfume right before I leave the apartment for work.

Vintage Glassware

I always take time to admire vintage glassware while shopping around antique malls. I would love to own a mix and match collection filled with pastel milk glass and depression glass plates, saucers and teacups one day, it all looks so dreamy together. I snapped these photos while on a recent road trip through Sacramento, I found the most amazing set of pink glass teacups! This vintage buying trip made it onto my list of Fall favorites among what I'm wearing and reading this season, see what else I'm loving as the lead stylist at Sweet & Spark and sign up for the newsletter for more snippets like this.

Vintage Shopping in New Orleans

We spent a lovely long weekend in New Orleans a few weeks ago for a friend's wedding, always a cherished place of ours to re-visit since Patrick went to college there. Whenever we are in town, I make a point to visit one of my favorite vintage boutiques Vintage 329. Chalk full with cases of vintage Chanel jewelry, I spend at least an hour attempting to see everything. Besides their Chanel collection, they have an array of curated sunglasses, posters, vinyl records, books and antique fine jewelry... heaven! 

After all that window shopping, I usually work up an appetite for something sweet. Right across the street is an adorable pastry shop called Cafe Beignet, not to be confused with Cafe du Monde which is a few blocks away. Nothing like an iced latte and beignet combo to re-fuel for more vintage shopping! Be sure to peek into the other antique shops around the French Quarter, so many hidden gems.
