i blame my obsession with bows on my mother.  when i was a baby, there was always a bow clipped to the side of my hair (i had a tuft of black hair since birth).  when i was a little girl, there were bows at the end of my pigtails and more bows at the bottom of all of my dresses.  when i was teen, i hated the mere sight of bows (because their sweet quality didn't mesh well with my teenage angst).  and now?  i can't get enough of bows.  when i stumbled upon petitor's etsy store and found this dainty gold bow necklace, i knew i had to have this piece to add to my collection.  the delicate 14 karat gold filled wire and chain make a simple and utterly feminine statement around my neck.  i snapped a pic of my new favorite piece of jewelry with two other things that currently have my heart: vivid yellow pom pom flowers and my alexander mcqueen: savage beauty book (courtesy of our other bestie M all the way from the mcqueen exhibit in nyc).    

i can't wait to place more orders from petitor (i have my eyes on the geometric triangle necklace and the wishbone necklace).  the designer's name?  courtney!  i knew there was a reason i liked her so much just based on our etsy messages.  ;)  courtney was an absolute doll to work with and i received my gorgeous necklace in the cutest packaging in lightning fast time.  take advantage of petitor's great labor day sale and get 15% off all orders from september 3 - 5 by using the coupon code labor15 when you check out.
