Last weekend I hosted a trunk show for Ariel Gordon Jewelry here in Santa Barbara and it couldn’t have been a better way to spend a sunny afternoon with friends. After a few hours of trying on almost every piece of Ariel’s I have a running list of the ones I’m saving up for. At the top of this very long list? A perfectly dainty gold bangle, a bezel set cuff and the Pave Tetra Spike Necklace. Between trying on jewelry and sipping some prosecco I caught up with some friends and fellow bloggers Katie of Ink & Post, Raya of The Paper Pony and Samantha of Cashmere Fog. It was the perfect way to cap off the weekend.

AG bracelets—currently obsessing over the Pave Circle Bracelet with sapphires, sigh.
Silk Woven Bracelets. I picked up a couple of these to layer and haven’t taken them off since.
