I’m a true believer in the miraculous capabilities of hardware accessories. They are every dull piece of furniture’s saving grace. While I’ve always been a fan of the vintage finds, I’ve fallen for these exotic pieces by Allegra Hicks. What better way to transform a boudoir? These metal ring and snake pulls are very regal Egyptian.
Okay, since we were tagged by Crosby at PR Couture, I am now bestowing the Brillante Weblog Award to the following seven blogs (in random order) that I just can’t be without:
Coco+Kelley- Cassandra from Coco+Kelly always picks gorgeous things to write about whether it be an amazing hotel in Spain or a beautiful evening dress.
In(side) the Loop- Courtney may be a Texas girl, but we have so much in common…we both worked in the fashion industry in NYC, plus we both love food trucks, shoes, and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
oh joy!- This was the blog that started it all for me…Thank you Joy for introducing me to the fabulous world of blogs! If you aren’t reading this blog, you should be.
a cup of jo- Joanna always finds little tidbits that you want to share with your friends, whether it be funny, quirky, chic or all three. There’s a reason her blog is so popular!
The Bedlam of Beefy- Bradford, or as we affectionately call him, “Uncle Beefy”, has created a blog that’s personal, witty, and stylish. Love him and his blog. You will too.
{frolic!}- Chelsea from frolic has a great sense of style and always comes up with great posts that make me wish I’d written them. And she’s a doll.
This is Glamorous- The name really says it all. Gorgeous blog for home decor and style in general. Always beautiful.

When Crosby of PR Couture was bestowed with a Brillante Weblog Award from Styleit (congrats Crosby!!), she followed the Brillante Weblog protocol and announced HER favorite 7 blogs.
I think I blushed a little when I read “Ruby Press” on her list this morning and digested her sweet words about us… Thanks so much Crosby! We’re honored to be included!
Our 7 picks later today…

I pass the castle-like Julia Morgan-designed Berkeley City Club everyday on the drive home from work. Isn’t it the most amazing place? Take a tour here, or stay a night when you’re in town. Maybe I should join…

Looks like chalk, tastes like a big chewy Good-n-Plenty!

{Do you need it? I seriously doubt it. Do you want it? Maybe… Buy one for your favorite apple here.}
The great thing is, you don’t have to travel to Greece to snatch up some of these great handmade Greek leather sandals…. Buy them all here.
{… and maybe you will literally buy them all when you see how affordable they are!}
When our office was across from the Claremont Hotel we used to trek over to Bakesale Betty more often for lunch (and sweets!), so when Sam swung by a few weeks ago he was shocked to see that it’s developed a Magnolia Bakery-style following! Lines snaked down Telegraph Avenue, but what was really great was that the folks at Bakesale Betty kept everyone happy (and full-bellied) by feeding them treats while they waited! How smart. Love that!
If you go, try the chicken sandwich, which is truly heavenly. It tastes even better than it looks, if that’s possible.
or their sweets…
P.S. Oh, and did I mention they have a JINGLE?? They’re too cute.
