Fancy Fellas
Janel and I are such girly girls, but we must admit that we admire menswear so very much. I stumbled across this site called The Grunion Run which just so happens to be an online shop for grooms and groomsmen. Pretty genius actually! The stuff is super super cute and the prices are unbeatable. Check it out and get inspired. After all, it is wedding season!

Nice Package!
We love packaging up little presents. Whether it's a Birthday or a Just Because present, we're going to wrap it up cute because that's just what we love to do. Plus, what's more exciting than receiving a present that's packaged up so cute you don't even want to open it. Well, we know you're going to open it up regardless, but still! Here are some easy DIY packaging ideas. Get your Washi Tape and Twine ready to go!

Fancy // Metalicious
Meet Stephanie Maslow-Blackman of Metalicious, the designer of the innovative jewelry line that is a clever mix of
reclaimed metals and cheeky wit. She creates each piece in her tiny
studio in Manhattan, thankful each day that she is able to make a living
doing what she loves. Born to see the quirky side of beauty,
Stephanie's designs are sure to amuse, inspire and delight. Her mission is admirable - she believes in creating high quality, inspired and wearable styles made
from genuine gemstones and sterling silver. She believes in using local
resources, chain vendors, gemstone suppliers to help support her local
artisans and businesses in the USA. These are just a few reasons why we fancy the creative mind behind Metalicious. Plus, we also love that she's always dreaming of new ideas!
The Modern Rock Collection is by far The Fancy Affair's favorite line by Metalicious. The collection features precious metals sculpted to look
like real diamonds. An edgy yet elegant re-interpretation of the
traditional diamond engagement ring, Modern Rocks are eco-friendly and
conflict free. Metalicious is the innovator of the glamorous diamond ring alternative: The Modern Rock ring. We LOVE! What's your favorite piece? ♥ Shop Metalicious at The Fancy Affair ♥

Thank You, Collette Ishiyama!!!
We've been really lucky with the designers we have met along The Fancy Affair journey. Collette Ishiyama is one of the designers we just can't get enough of and yesterday proved why we just love her even more. TFA/CI similar loves: cats, stripes, red lipstick, looking for cute animal videos on youtube, and of course, jewelry!
A studio, not too far from one of my favorite bars in the East Village called Elsa (she's a fan too!) is where Collette Ishiyama designs and hand makes all her jewelry. I was literally in awe of all the tools and the technique she uses to make all the jewelry. She's like a one woman show! Sketches, materials, a torch, lions, tigers, and Ponyo - her super cute cat and when I say cute, I mean so cute that I actually took more photos of the cat than anything else! Whoops! Collette gave me a tutorial of how to solder. (*Solder - is a fusible metal alloy used to join together metal workpieces and having a melting point below that of the workpiece.) It was really interesting to see the process of how to solder the post to the earring. Even if I tried to explain it right now, you'd all be really confused, but it was really cool and made me appreciate her work even more. Check out some of the photos from the visit at the Collette Ishiyama studio! And get ready because The Fancy Affair has some of her pieces coming real soon! Thank you again Collette♥

eat//avocado toast
One of TFA's favorite food blogs is Organic Spark. We're
obsessed! Everything always looks and sounds good and is pretty easy
to make. Today's snack includes two of our favorite things: avocados
and sourdough toast! Mmm. . . A simple, yet tasty snack!
So get ready for those healthy fats from the avocados to fill that belly for hours.
This is our idea of a yummy breakfast for those busy mornings! Enjoy
you fancy eaters!
Ingredients:
2 pieces authentic sourdough bread
pastured butter, softened
1 ripe avocado, pitted and diced
1 tbsp unrefined flax oil or extra virgin olive oil
sea salt & fresh cracked pepper

♥ Swooning For Seaworthy ♥
Marisa Howard of Seaworthy is this weeks fancy featured designer. Based in Portland, Oregon, Seaworthy's super cool creator lives in what we think sounds like our kind of home sweet home, an orange Victorian house built in 1900. With the love of a good cup of coffee, tiny succulents, doggies, and of course, jewelry, it's an obvious no brainer that The Fancy Affair and Seaworthy are a perfect match!
Marisa's jewelry
collection began as a line of jewelry made from all vintage
parts and has evolved to include a variety of handmade, mixed metal
pieces. She is inspired by simple geometric shapes and textile patterns
from the 1930's. She also finds inspiration from structural Art Deco designs to the personal style of her closest friends. We love it! Add the touch of Seaworthy to your current jewelry collection! ♥ Shop Seaworthy at The Fancy Affair now. ♥
