Back to the Beach With Home Accessories from Roost!

For me, the beach is the song in my head I play over and over again. I love driftwood and the salty stink of low tide. I love the ocean air that gives my hair a thick and messy texture and the beach sun that paints my tresses with lemony highlights. And I love to swim.


I bring the beach home with me. 


I dump sand out of my paperbacks and bags. And as if the waves ebb and flow through my front door, and leave behind their watery treasures: You'll spot seashells, sea glass and smooth round stones scattered every where. 


I tell a friend my living room style is French-Japanese-Beachy. 


When I discover Roost I am a happy beach bum. Roost uses "authentic materials and finishes" like shells and wood. All their accessories are "handmade, small craft production." Like me they favor naturalism: botanicals, trees, birds and sea creatures.


Beautiful.

Deal of the Week: Chunky Bracelets and More!

This season for a "wow" accessory, you can't go wrong with... 

Chunky/Cuff Bracelets... 

Lucite Bracelets... 

Multiple Metal Bracelets... 

or Natural Stone Bracelets.

Bracelets are hot, hot, hot! 


LUXemag says, "the more massive a bracelet, the better."


People Style Watch says chunky bracelets are a Top 10 Trend. They recommend you "pile up bangles and tough cuffs to go with glam dresses or jeans and T-shirt."


Lucite bracelets are another option. (See above picture. These colorful lucite bracelets were $52.00 now $16.00 from Max & Chloe.)


Stylecaster saw "plenty of lucite accents on the runways at shows like Prada, Louis Vuitton and Burberry."


Squidoo says natural stone bracelets are "this season's winning trend" for an eclectic look. It's one of my favorite choices.


So my dear friends, instead of one Deal of the Week, I have 12 for you!  


Look for next week's Deal of the Week.
