Felicity by Glitz Design

Anchors are nothing new to our friends at Glitz. What can I say? Glitz has always had it’s eye on the next cool thing. But Felicity is new. Brand new. And I adore it! It’s adorned with a variety of coastal cuties, including the always-eye-catching anchor!

Adrienne Looman has absolutely outdone herself with this one! It’s the perfect mix of whimsy and elegance. I can almost taste the salty sea air and hear the crashing waves as I breathe this one in. A bit over the top? Take a look and see for yourself. I think you’ll agree that this brand new line is stunning.
