JPC + Balboa show

So, if you are following along with me, you knew that the Charleston Novel. girls hit the road to be with our fourth Novel. counterpart for her own studio opening featuring Balboa and Jane Pope Collection.  We carry a smaller assortment of her collections here at Novel. FYI.  I'm not just saying this because Jane is my cuz but she really is the most talented, stylish, gorgeous girls I know.  Check this little feature VOGUE did on her a while back..

(And yes, that's her looking stunning as ever!!!)

Click here to see all her unbelievable press!!  She is one of those gals that you want to be and be around!!!  Love her and was so happy to be with her for her grand opening!!!!  Her studio is AMAZE!!!!!!!!!  Beyond Amaze.  Huge, big, bright and white!!!  Perfect for showcasing her gorgeous jewels!!!  

One of my favorite Balboa necklaces

 Below are several necklaces around "Manni's" neck:)

The girlies

JPC is in the jewelry case on the bottom left of the picture below-too bad I did not manage to get any good closeups of the JPC.  

Liza perusing the cased jewelry...this may or may not have been totally staged...

And quickly fast forward to the end of our night...

Too much fun away from home for one night!!!!!!!

Such a fun night and what a show Jane had!!!  So proud of her and all she has accomplished!!!  Can't wait to go back in December for a Novel. holiday show, featuring all of our wares and works!!!  

Pastel Punch

Feeling very inspired by these gorgeous pastels.  A few works in progress that I will post this week. 

Big.

Pastels galore.

  Wish I could say I had a Tuesday Food Day post for you guys, but we've been eating the same old, same old.  I keep staring at all of my beautiful cookbooks over here on the counter and I am making a promise to myself (and to you) to break one of these bad boys open and make something yummy in the tummy!  Will probably have to wait until next week though...lots of fun things happening this week.  One majorly fun event is happening this week and I'll give you a hint.  Balboa....JPC....Studio....Opening....

Woohoo!!!!!

Going on a little road trip.....overnight...no kiddos...bed to myself...

(for one night makes me a little happy)

Flower Child

1/2/3/4/5

I feel so lucky to live in a town with so , so many creative gals!  Lulie Wallace is one of those ladies who calls Charleston home.  She has been around awhile and I'm sure you have seen her all over Pinterest but I was just feeling the wildflower vibe lately and thought I would share a few inspirational pics.  

PS-  Is her name not great??!!!  Love it and love her work! 

 Go check it here

You can also see that she has collaborated with the likes of Anthropologie, One kings Lane, Serena and Lily and Urban Outfitters!!!  Wowza!!!

I tried....

A Cup of Joe

So I keep seeing this pin coming up on Pinterest (even though it's from last year I thought the look is pretty timeless) and I thought I would give the look a whirl.  It's so me.  Solids, easy and comfortable.  Should have worn my nude wedges (will do next time) but when at work that means on my hands and knees painting on the floor all day so my snakeskin flats had to do.  The skirt above is from Topshop and loving the pleats.   But I have to say I think I like a straight skirt on me better, so this navy Library option was the way to go!!!!  Also paired with a Library belt-ha-shout out to my girl Lauren!

On another note, loving my new shade of red/orange/pink by OPI called "MonSooner  or Later."  Love, Love, Love it!!  I will spare you a pic of my toes but just trust me here.  Even the ladies working the nail salon gave me a thumbs up!  It's the perfect shade of coral.

Been hard at work this week getting Novel. all squared away for our big End of Summer Sale coming up this Thursday, September 20.  Hope you locals can come out to receive deep discounts!!!  Woohoo!!!  The sale runs 12-7 on Thursday so try to scoot by on your lunch break or after work.  You know when there's a party with these girls there's bound to be bubbly a flowing!!!!

If you follow me on Instagram (wayway123) then this is old news, but yesterday I started our Instagram wall in the hallway up at Novel.  We all have so many pictures over the last year from parties here, nights out on the town, merchandise, etc so we thought it would be fun to post them all over the wall for all our peeps to look at while their emptying their wallets with us-ha!!!  Seriously though, come visit us if you can, bound to be a festive time!!!!!

Fall Wishes

I am clearly still getting the hang of this Photoshop thing but learning as I go!  Its actually really fun to mess around with (with the very few skills that I have) but can be a bit of a time sucker.  Kind of hard to read the font below but I wanted to share a few great deals I found over the weekend.  I thought this Old Navy blouse was a steal and it's on SALE!!!  I did end up ordering it because it was only $19 so I will give you the full report once it arrives!!!  Also, I'm totally loving these wedges!!!  Am I crazy?  That nude/blush color goes with everything!!!  And this necklace....no words.  I love, love, love it but it is WAY out of my price range so it will just have to look pretty from my laptop screen.

So tell me, what are some of your favorite Fall Finds?

Don't forget to mark your calendars for this Thursday, September 20 and stop by our Summer Sale at Novel.!!!  Lots of great deals to be had!!!

Bright Idea

Y'all I swear if it's not one thing, it's another.  You see, I like to jump the gun.  When I see something I like/love I usually get it on the spot (if the price is within reason of course) without doing any measuring or color comparisons to make sure it would work in our space.  Ehhmm, refer back to this lighting post if you have forgotten.  So, many months back I saw these awesome metal/jute twine wrapped pendants at Celadon (local home store for those of you from out of town) and I just had to have them. 

They would work SOMEWHERE right?  

Wrong.

  I could not find one place to put them so rather than hang onto them I am going to TRY selling them.  They were $65 a piece but I would sell them for $100 for the pair.  They still have the tags and have never been used.  They need a good home!  So, please, any takers????
