Chevron + Sparkle

I will never ever tire of black + white. And, I am beginning to thing that the rule extends to zig zags patterns as well...
I've been dying to add this necklace from Fiona Paxton for some time now... what a fantastic piece to dress up any simple tank. And that beaded pillow in a true chevron pattern? Kill me now. I want it in my office stat! And then there that little DIY rug created by Nick Olsen ... I don't actually think the paint was sparkly, but it sure photographs that way (and that's the way I want it!).
