HANDCRAFTED: MANDY'S TOP 3

These are my favorite pair. I think they’ll remain that, until I quit making jewelry! They’re imperfectly perfect. Classic. Timeless.

  1. FAVORITE BLOGGER: Shira Gill is a home organizer/life coach. Her approaches to organizing your home are just simply life changing. She makes your home functional and beautiful and gives ways to part with all of the stuff that’s clogging up your life so that you can live more fully. I have listened to every podcast that she is on. I look forward to her emails in my inbox. I adore her new book. It’s equally beautiful and FULL of actionable practical simple methods to enrich your life by pulling together your home. Click here to check out her work!

2. FAVORITE WAY TO DISPLAY MY JEWELRY: I am SO excited about this new jewelry stand. I have been making jewelry for… hmm… 2006… That’s when I began.. so what is that?? 16 years! I’ve never found a way to display my favorite pieces. I want to see my favorites so they’re easily accessible, so I remember that I have them, so that I have right in front of me the things that I think are beautiful. I am very practical to my approach to life. It’s function first, then beauty. I LOVE this jewelry stand. It makes my favorite things feel like art. Click here to get one.

3. FAVORITE ATHLETIC SHOES: Dressing for me is a form of personal expression. Who am I? What do I find to be practical, beautiful, me? I work in my living room every day. However, I still get up, wash my face, put myself together, and choose my outfit, because I just feel better when I do that. I have always been pretty anti-sneaker. If we go on vacation, and I’m supposed to wear tennis shoes (ok, let’s be real, I struggle with most things I’m “should” do) I wear my favorite birkenstocks. However! since, I found this pair of black & white nikes! I’ve let myself get somewhat sporty! I love a pair of black leggings, I love my army green leggings, I love my black joggers… THESE TOTALLY GO WITH ALL OUTFITS that include those pieces!!! This has opened up my wardrobe exponentially!! They’re a little bit of vintage, mixed with minimal trend, and simplicity! I LOVE THEM!! Click here to check them out!!

I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
