Love Louboutin

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

Warm and cool colors in a all over way make these shoes blend and pop at the same time. There is nothing like pink shoes to make a statement. Gold jewelry would finish the look perfectly.

Custom Weddings

Monday, March 30th, 2009

It is that time of year when weddings are happening all around us, which is why I wanted to share a few of the pieces I have designed for some brides, as gifts to their bridesmaids, to show the uniqueness of the industry. Many people who search out my designs for their special day are leaning towards more avant guarde weddings. It is exciting to see these transitions and design pieces that are completely out of the norm. The colors, textures and intricacy have lead to this shift.

Headdress

Friday, March 27th, 2009

House of Harlow 1960 is creating some really original headpieces. I am very inspired by this line because I adore Indian inspired references, bohemian and also a contemporary edge, and Nicole Richie’s line is the perfect synergy between vintage and modern. Her line is pretty rocking! I feel like it compliments my jewelry well, because you can wear some cool bangles and a great headdress with my asymmetric style earrings and you are completely decked!

It’s a Gucci thing

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

These short seventies inspired tunics in whisper thin silks and bold prints are so ethereal and bohemian. The tunics capture a light and bright feeling that shouts summer is here with happy moving colors. These tunics will pair great with delicate jewels. I believe in creating proportion and balance when dressing, so by pairing organic inspired jewels with bright electric colors you have the perfect unity.

Mummy Look

Wednesday, March 25th, 2009

My current obsessions are bracelets. I love the look of wrapping this long, silk jersey knit & metal, necklace I made around my wrist until it is a total emergence of a cocoon type experience. I encourage you to use what you have and take away its usual function and replace it with something new and bold. This could be a form of recycled fashion.
