I've long loved incorporating tortoise accessories into my wardrobe, whether in the form of jewelry, shoes, or sunglasses. More recently, I've started to incorporate tortoise into our home. These images helped to persuade me:

ReplyDeleteOh I love that chandelier! What a great selection of items you found. I may have to add some of this into my own home. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThat chandelier is so amazing...love tortise...I think I am most in love with entire shells...it's a little weird. (c: And I don't think that is a shameless plug, that is some good ol' fashioned family support! Wish I was closer to come and check it out!
ReplyDeleteI love tortoise shell sunglasses- pretty much the only kind I have worn for years- I just like how they go with everything-
ReplyDeleteI do love those shoes too-
Lovely to 'meet' you- I am enjoying your blog.
Silly me, I kept looking at the chandelier in the background and thinking, *How does she know it's tortoise?* Then I saw the one you were referring to. Gorgeous. One of my favorite interiors features tortoise shells on the wall:

ReplyDeleteNo more 1551 Transformed! I decided if/when we move it would drive me nuts to have my blog named after an address at which I no longer live. I did keep the URL address the same (because I had no choice)!
ReplyDeleteI have the MK watch and love it. I love those shoes and the glasses. So cute!
ReplyDeleteObsessed with tortoise! I have some sunglasses and a headband that I am just in love with. I really need to incorporate it into the house...
