I found Olive and Cocoa thanks to Oprah Magazine. Originally I was attracted by a succulent planter box that was featured in a Mother's Day Gift Ideas part of the magazine but when I went to the Olive and Cocoa website, there was SO much more! If you are in the market for unique gifts, edible delights or a fabulous floral arrangement, check out Olive and Cocoa!

BHLDN is a fairly new wedding brand from the retail family that brought us Anthropologie, Urban Outfitters, Free People, Terrain and Leifsdottir. Just yesterday, BHLDN opened their first ever physical store right here in Houston!! BHLDN offers beautiful wedding gowns, decor ideas, jewelry, accessories and more! Visit them in Highland Village.

I just love this shop on Etsy! The designers behind K & K Artistry live here, in Houston, and create some of the most interesting jewelry and accessories I've seen! Enjoy. : )

I love checking out what Etsy has to offer; there's so much. Even more, I love when I come across a local designer with amazing items! I adore the creations by Desi. Her Etsy shop is called bijouxbydesif and her jewelry is wonderful! Check out her pieces below.... oh yeah, she's is currently having an end of the year sale!! Bonus!

I checked out Etsy today looking for neat earring holders/organizers. Originally I was looking for some sort of tree type earring holder but I came upon these amazing twisty copper things and I fell in love with them. They are such simple, clever designs and are very visually appealing. I liked them so much I even put one on my Amazon wishlist (another wonderful thing, by the way). Tonight I went back to Etsy and looked at these items again and noticed that the designer of these wonderful creations is right here in Houston!! Please check out Silver Chic Designs... you'll see what I'm talking about.

In this month's issue of Real Simple, the incomparable Faux Malachite Jewelry Box is a featured item.  This is the 2nd time that our favorite green box was highlighted in a major magazine.  The 1st being in the August 2009 issue of Oprah.  All I can say is, "I love Real Simple and I love Oprah!"

Check out the March issue of 002 magazine. The Costumes for Cocktails page features clothes from the High Fashion Home boutique! (plus it's illustrated as always by our instore Merchandising Director)
