What I'm Wanting: Turquoise

Happy Sunday, all.  We are wrapping up our vacation here in Wyoming with a little bit of country music, riding, and rodeos.  Hanging around real cowboys and cowgirls has made me crave some turquoise jewelry (when I was a kid, that was always my favorite), so I thought I'd share some pieces I wouldn't mind adding to my collection.

This is a very simple take on turquoise, and I love that it is paired with gold since you almost always see this stone set in silver.

With this Fauna Butterfly necklace, you can inexpensively jump into the bug trend that is popular in jewelry right now.

I love this necklace. It is so simple, but it is so pretty. And I just realized after making the statement about normally only seeing silver with turquoise, the three things I've posted so far have all been set with gold. I guess that is a more modern, less country take on this stone.
Okay, here is one more necklace.  This is the style that I was wishing I had last night when we went to the rodeo and a country music concert after.

It would have gone perfectly with my white button up blouse and blue jeans (that's about as country as I could get while here; I don't have any cowgirl clothes).
I would also LOVE to have this one:

Charm & Chain

Hope you enjoy the rest of your Sunday; tomorrow evening the Cat and I (along with my Mom) will be flying back home to California.  Before we jump on that plane, we will be doing a little shopping in Denver and then hitting up Cracker Barrel one more time.  Hey, a girl's got to have priorities, right?!

Inspiration: Teal and Turquoise

Since Lori bought her beautiful sectional at Macy's, I've been looking for one myself.  I found one that I really love, on sale, but it is teal.  I never thought I would have a sofa that wasn't white but good luck finding the right scale sectional with a white slipcover (the only way to do white furniture with children).  I have all shades of blues in my living room so it would fit in perfectly. My concern:  Would I get tired of it?  Would it look dated after a few years?  Or would it just look bold and stylish like I'm hoping?  Here are a few beautiful teal and turquoise room inspirations I've been looking at to persuade myself:

Gwenna's Outfit
dress: Gymboree
vest: Gap
hat: made for her
knee socks: target
shoes: pedipeds

coat: B.B Dakota (thrifted)
shoes: Kenneth Cole (thrifted)
belt: thrifted


I am so excited about these finds! The coat cost all of $3 at a local Goodwill, once I had it dry cleaned it cost $9 total. It is hard to see, but it has a metallic orange thread running through the plaid as well as a turquoise accent and lining--color of the season too!  The shoes are in perfect condition and were $5, I know I will wear them all the time.  The belt is leather and I like that it is skinny and gives the coat shape.  The whole outfit cost $20.
