SUMMER BOOK CLUB


Here is my summer reading list for this year. As you can see, I'm going on a bit of an Edith Wharton kick. Also, I included Gwyneth Paltrow's new book because lately I've needed some fresh ideas on easy recipes, and I know her's will be healthy versions. My "book club" has a noticeable concept, at least I think so. I didn't even realize it, but as I was browsing Amazon, I tried to search for books that aren't nighttime books, if that makes sense. Some books, in my opinion, you just can't read in the morning or daytime because it would conflict with the story's vision. Novels that are primarily romance, or involving travel, I tend to enjoy in the daylight on my bed or couch. It let's my imagination thrive a bit more because of the outside sounds and smells.

CURRENT DESIGN INSPO: MINIMAL JEWELRY


Soon I'll be starting to create pieces for my Etsy shop, kkachi. I'm not a big jewelry wearer as I prefer the more minimalist approach. These are some pieces I like and I think they're simple, but not boring. While bib necklaces and obnoxiously overwhelming "arm candy" look great on some people, I really think pieces that accent the total look tend to be more flattering than one single statement piece.
