Cowhide


Hide yo kids, Hide yo wives!  Clutch yourself for these cowhide beauties!

I've been called 'Fancy Pants' more than a few times but regardless of my typical ladylike luster I'm a southern gal through and through.  I may never leave my front door 'au naturel' but I love to incorporate natural elements not only in my personal style but in my home decor as well.  Textures found out in nature give an organic, grounded sense to your look or room as well as adding interest and beauty only God could design.

It was truly serendipitous when I met owner/designer of Set in Stone a while back at the Southern Women's Show.  She's got spunk, heart and endless creativity.  My kind of gal! Her designs are one of a kind, handmade from the finest of elements bringing beauty from blends of color, shine, pattern and textures. Her talent can be found right here in Charlotte, NC.

Whether you're a glam gal or more casual chic these accessories will surely add show stopping style to your look.

Because each piece is made of natural hides and stones no two are alike, which can make for quite a dilemma when trying to decide between such beauties.

I carry this cowhide envelope clutch everywhere!  From inside my everyday tote holding my small necessities to outings with the gals or date nights with Mr this clutch is not only functional but a conversation starter wherever I go.

I've incorporated cowhides with a rug in my breakfast room and in a serving tray in my family room so why not in my outfits?! Not only did I bring home this clutch, I had to have some cowhide cuffs from the collection.  But that's not all you'll find from Set in Stone.  A diverse jewelry line and the most amazing modern napkin rings I have set on my dining room table. (Coming soon to a new post).

Jewelry is a gal's best friend.  We all know it's the accessories that make an outfit.  Shiny yellow gold and pearls are my go-to but I have discovered some beautiful artistry right here in NC. Allow me to introduce to you Allie Beads! Allie Beads is a local NC jewelry brand created and operated by a mother and daughter duo.  Nothing makes me happier than to shop local :)
It inspires me to embark on a venture with my Mamma hint hint

While at a trunk show at Beaufort Linen Co. I met Stephanie and she helped me choose a long strand of natural wood beads with scattered graphite textured beads intermixed, that offer texture and shine.  I felt that this piece would compliment so much and appropriate for office and weekend looks.  Wear it long or doubled, with prints or solids, over a dress shirt or on top of a tee, any way you pair it is sure to be pretty. 


Check out their Instagram & Facebook to see their designs.
You can purchase online or at various boutiques all over NC!
