Zoumou

I am loving the beautiful necklaces made by Australian artist Zoe Sernack for her accessories line, zoumou. Inspired by Art Nouveau designs, she has created a range of laser-cut products including necklaces and earrings all with a nature inspired edge. Perfect to wear dressed up or with a casual tee. Check out the Secret Garden and Gypsy Moon collection, my personal faves.

Beachy Keen

The weather today is amazing and only supposed to get better as the weekend progresses... I just returned from my beach cruise to the post office to drop off the days orders and was inspired by the salty ocean breeze and all the local beach shops and ice cream parlors putting out their awnings and products in preparation for the nice weekend- I knew I needed a sea inspired collection to round out the week! I am so loving Marc Jacobs' new foray into swimwear, especially the cute one piece above- anything with a fish is okay with me!

Awesome vintage botany sea creatures design. This is a cool downloadable design- pay one low price and you can reuse this design over and over again for art projects, wrapping, paper, cards! I think it would look great simply framed for a low cost art piece.

Catch of the Day pendent necklace or super cute vintage octopus pendent. Both would look great with a simple white tee for the summer heat!

I love this green Fly Fisherman Vintage stationary- especially paired with the canary yellow cards. I can picture myself sitting out on the dock writing thank you notes with these cuties!

Have a fabulous weekend!~ The Lacquered Peacock xo

Doloris Petunia

Morning all! Its an ugly, rainy morning here at the beach and the lovely accessories designer Doloris Petunia is just the perfect bit of jeweled sparkle to add a bit of brightness to your day. I am always a fan of necklaces- I used to love bracelets and rings, but now that I am always working with my hands those baubles are all but gone in favor of accessories that I am not constantly taking on and off! Specializing in eye catching statement pieces, Doloris Petunia creates amazing necklaces and elaborate head pieces, both of which I love. The beautiful Copper and Gold necklace above is what initially caught my eye. Perfect with a simple tank for the summer, love it!

Fabulous Amber Necklace. I love the sparkling glass and rhinestone beads mixd with the fabulous vintage finds, so pretty and unique!

Along with statement necklaces, Doloris Petunia also creates beautiful head pieces, from the feather piece featured above to the candy colored Mermaid Rhinestone headband. So pretty and unique.

Product Spotlight: Spanish Endearment Necklace

I have been coveting these sweet Spanish Endearment Necklaces from jewelry designer Anne Kiel. I have a thing for simple gold or brass charm necklaces, my favorite that I wear all the time is a simple gold circular "a" pendent, but these might be good to switch it with. I am particularly fond of the "Besame" one... Hmmm, maybe my purchase for the week! Also available in French terms, if that's more your thing. Take a peek at all the beautiful baubles available in Anne's etsy shop here.

Erica Weiner Jewelry

I have been a fan of Erica Weiner Jewelry for a long time, but I just discovered that she had a shop on Etsy.  Based out of Manhattan, Erica began designing jewelry in 2005 with an emphasis on creating pieces that were made from antique and vintage pieces. Her pieces have a wonderful non-precious aspect to them that makes them both wearable and treasurable. I think thats the part I like most about them- they look rich in history in their antiquity, but because she uses antique and vintage findings she is able to keep the price reasonable. Click here for the oversized plastic studs featured above. 

These  rose gold plated mesh bracelets are something I have my eye one. I have always been a fan of rose gold, I love the femininity of it and that mixed with the delicate mesh and clasps are absolute perfection. 

Fabulous YSL enamel zipper pull earrings. I love the thought process that went into these. Navy Rectangles emblazoned with the classic YSL logo in a pretty copper are destined for some very stylish ears! 

Orphan Annie Bracelet. Original medallions used for promotion of Ovaltine (yum, used to love Ovaltine as a kid!) in the 30's decorate this chunky chain. 

Dillon Designs

Looking for some beautiful baubles to gift to yourself or someone you love on Valentine's Day? Check out Dillon Designs, which features pretty hand made beaded pieces, as well as (my favorite) unique acrylic rings that are true pieces of art and a great price too! 

I was really captivated by these very cool acrylic rings when I first saw them. With many designs available, you can find the perfect one just for you and at $8.00 you really can't beat it! The rings are acrylic and stamped with waterproof ink , then edged with permanent gold ink. I love the simplicity of them! So many beautiful ones, its hard to pick a favorite- but I do like this cool Stag Ring. 

Cute Blue Bunny necklace. Part of the Wallpaper Forest Collection. The bunny has been hand cut from acrylic.
