FOCAL POINT STYLING: Florida Keys

Back in April, I had gone on a day trip to Key Largo with my friend Rebeca. While we were out exploring, I spotted this amazing mini shell stranded necklace in the most unlikely place - a popular drug store called CVS. We had popped in to there to pick up a Coke, water and a magazine on our way to the beach. The necklace is just too fabulous to hide away in a jewelry box, so besides wearing it with a summery outfit, I've also used it dress an urn in our summer style home...

Fab Find in an unlikely place - a drug store...

LOVE all the strands...

Works well for summer style...

And the shells added a bit of texture to

the white on white look for this old pitcher.

(I think it's over 10 years old & use to be black.)

I have some other shell necklaces I've used too - on the beach bottles...

It just goes to show, that you never know where your next fab find will be...

Always be aware.

What unexpected place did you ever spot a fab find??

A pet store? A candy shop? The grocery store?

Happy Summer!

When one thinks of the Keys, images of sun weathered buildings, cottage style beach homes, docked white boats, touristy shell shops, coral reefs to explore, beach bums and rum runners can easily come to mind. So imagine my surprise to find a cute little shop featuring some vintage pink (and even gold!) flamingos, 60's detailed dishware, vintage lamps, furniture & collectibles, vintage (and designer) clothing & accessories and even some charming antiques for your shabby chic collection... all at a little consignment antique shop featuring anything but junk and called Pink Junktique. I had mentioned earlier it in my mini-vacay Key Largo post, but here are some more shots from the shop...enJOY!
