Obsession from A Peace of Cake

Need a little inspiration? Need a BIG inspiration? Yeah, I do too! And when I’m in need of something to inspire me, I head over to A Peace of Cake to find a muse. This bright and cheery store is the work of the amazing Kerri Jones (also of Ten Things, another Mireio favorite!). And I find her work the perfect antidote to the perma gray I face out here on the Oregon Coast. I have two of Kerri’s photographs and they always seem to make my world feel more colorful. And that’s why I love A Peace of Cake. (and who doesn’t love a witty store name too!)

You know what else I love? A Sale. Head over to A Peace of Cake and find a little inspiration of your own. And then pick another, because Kerri is holding a BOGO sale! Buy one and get one free!

Fresh Meyer Lemons from Horticopia

As some of you may know, I’m a Californian living in what I like to call “the edge of the world.” In reality, it’s the north coast of Oregon—a windy, grey, blustery, and more-often-than-not raining kind of place. It’s beautiful, in that wind-swept kind of way. But, I miss my sunny roots and the horticulture that defines Cali. Palm trees and lemons, jasmine and bougainvillea, and lots and lots of gorgeous succulents to boot! I mean, come one, what’s not to love about Agave?

So, enter Horticopia. A fabulous store that offers a little taste of all those things I’m missing. I recently ordered some Meyer Lemons and was completely transported south! They arrived quickly, fresh from the field, completely organic, and ready to be devoured! A tiny taste treat for my sun starved senses: a taste of HOME. And that’s why I love Horticopia!

Make sure you check out her other listings. Horticopia sells a large selection of wonderful plants just perfect for your indoor garden or terrarium.

Camellia by Gogovivi

Gogovivi makes the most amazing handbags. Kiley is one of those artists who just has the touch. Her work is stylish, timeless, and always elegant. And who wouldn’t want a status bag that’s completely handmade?  So, forget the Birkin or the Louis Vuitton. . . Make mine Gogovivi. It’s affordable luxury with the handmade touch; which is reason enough to love Gogovivi.

Fabulous Snap Skinny Scarf by Malam

I’ve featured Malam on The Best of Etsy in the past—but when Marie photographed her father modeling this fabulous Snap Skinny Scarf,  I fell in love with her store all over again. He’s dashing! It’s wonderful to see a mix of models, and it only goes to demonstrate just how versatile Malam’s work is. Which is a very big reason why I love Malam!

A little luxury for you at Ten Things

Ten Things offers tiny luxuries that any girl can afford. It’s all beautifully styled and photographed, browsing through this online store is like taking a walk through a lovely little boutique, while still in my PJs. PLUS, she offers free shipping and gift wrap (upon request). It’s all about affordable luxury and that’s why I love Ten Things!

(and take a peek at Kerri’s gorgeous blog too!)
