Do love jewelry as much as we do, but aren’t exactly a fan of in-your-face glamazon bling?
Then you’ll likely love Melissa Joy Manning’s treasures as much as we do.
The California designer seductively melds the modern with the traditional, the rough with the pretty, the unexpected with the organic.
And if you happen to be a bride-to-be and are dreaming of a truly one-of-a-kind engagement ring, prepare to swoon (and remember, as Carrie Bradshaw proved in SATC, you can totally marry yourself to justify your acquisition).
While there are some beautiful necklaces and bracelets and we already have the engagement ring of our dreams, we’re fawning like Bambi over the unusually spectacular stud earrings and standout cocktail rings.
Are you up for some new treasures?
Then, take a peek!

We’ve loved Jane Mayle ever since we dwelled in the same neighborhood as her fah-bu-lous Manhattan boutique.
But, we never could quite cough up the green to actually own any of the ah-mazing bags, accessories or clothing by the covetable designer.
Which is why we’re SO excited to score this 60% off coupon code on her spring collection (thanks for the heads up Refinery29!).
We love the Circus Braid belt, originally $175, now just $70 with the code, as well as all of the bags. They’re just so darling and different from everything else out there in Fashion Land.
Treat yourself before it’s all scooped up. Simply enter coupon code maylss8 at checkout.
Take a peek!

In the spirit of the Fourth of July and having the right to vote, not to mention our undying love of animal accessories and soft spot for Jonathan Adler, we present these cheeky elephant and donkey ceramic banks.
A super cute baby gift for your fave future republican or democrat, as well as a fun retirement gift for your hardened republican or democrat, as peeps who tend to see both sides with rose-colored Gucci-knockoff glasses (kidding), we’ll take one of each, thanks.
Why not treat yourself to an Independence Day prezzie? You’re worth it.
Plus, it’ll finally give you somewhere to put all your change and will be the most carefree pet you’ll ever have.
Take a peek!
p.s. BussBuss is off for the long weekend! We hope you have a fabulous Fourth of July and look forward to seeing you next week, where we’ll be bussing from the Nordics and the Netherlands!

Even though it’s a chilly 61 degrees here in San Francisco right now, summer has officially arrived.
And summer to us means finding great hostess gifts to give (and maybe even to get).
If you’re spending some time at a loved one’s home (beach, mountain, city) anytime soon, why not give them flowers that will last a lifetime, like this perfect tulip on a porcelain platter by gleena?
It’s simple, beautiful and will surely guarantee you’ll be invited back again. {We also may be drawn to the tulips because we’re gearing up for a trip to the Netherlands — and Norway — this week!}
Gorgeous bowls, cups, plates and vases are also available in a variety of colors and styles by gleena designer Asya Palatova, who was born in Russia (‘gleena’ means ‘clay’ in Russian) and now lives and works in Rhode Island (we love that we can see her childhood influences in her work).
Take a peek!
Via the fabulous oh joy!
