A Sparkling Collection from BHLDN Spring 2013

I’m in love with BHLDN, pronounced “Beholden” andinspired by the Dutch word for “to keep”. The name makes perfect sense, the shop is dedicated to providing the most beautiful things any bride could dream up. If something looks strangely familiar, you’re not mistaken. BHLDN is another masterpiece from the creative minds of Anthropologie. I got a sneak peak at the Spring 2013 collection consisting of sparkling clutches, gorgeous gowns, stunning jewelry, beautiful home accessories and much more. Here are just a few of my favorites from the collection.

A Color to Love: Navy Blue

As we move into a new season full of rich colors, textures and ornate detail, I am reminded of my love of deep navy blue. It compliments most anyone and is a nice change from basic black yet still provides that slimming effect in terms of clothing. For jewelry, the stones may not be “navy” but that deep blue sparkle is exquisite. Here is a gathering of some amazing new pieces for your wardrobe, home and maybe kitchen counter.
