2011 has become the year of the wedding in my circle of friends. So, lots of my attention has been focused on wedding dresses, bridesmaids dresses, MOH (that’s Maid-of-Honor to those who don’t know the lingo) duties and venues. Nope, I’m not engaged. But, I’m certainly a sounding board for my girlfriends that are. These [...]
…sorry I’ve been a bad blogger. But, at least I’ve worked on all these this week: Lots of earrings will be listed in the shop starting tonight (after the JETS annihilate the Steelers!)
This tutorial comes from Honestly…WTF, one of my favorite design sites! Chain necklaces NEVER go out of style. I really don’t care what anyone says. This is a fun take on the tribal trend which is going to be huge this spring. So, start thinking about colors you love and get cracking on those braids! [...]
Do you ever find yourself going back to where you first start? Maybe it’s photos of a first love? Your first official college term paper? Your first designer dress? And, do you ever find that it’s a bit wobbly, dodgy or even off just a tad? That’s why you love it, no? That’s why you [...]
Welcome to the first Must Have Monday!! (And, hello to all those reading on this MLK JR holiday). When I first came across this pair of shoes a couple of weeks ago, I wasn’t quite sure what to categorize them as…are they a boot? A Clog? Or, wedges? Whatever you want to call them, they [...]
This warms my heart. More retailers should do this versus the crap you see in the Sunday circulars… Take note retailers…both big and small. Styling shoots are well worth it and working together to mix and match clothes, props, accessories, you name it is the future of reaching consumers. (That’s just my take). P.S. If [...]
There’s nothing more fun than sharing what’s on your google reader!! FOR THE FOODIES: CLOSET COOKING: Chicken Fajitas SMITTEN KITCHEN: Bacon & Onion Pizza. Yummm. SUGAR & SNIDE: Blackberry Margaritas…I cannot WAIT to try these. Must. Procure. Blender CRAFTING: DOLLS: Photos from the Kensington Dollhouse Festival. Everything is so teeny tiny. RENEGADE: The Brooklyn show’s [...]
My new earring cards! Minty and fresh looking, eh? I CANNOT wait to print these bad boys out. They should make their debut soon! I am making lots of new little earrings as a special for my upcoming shows. Muchas gracias to one of my favorite designers, the lovely Sarah of Dodeline Design for whipping [...]
When it comes to balancing a full time job, plus all the ups and downs of creating new things…this image couldn’t speak to me enough. The New Year is a special time of year for me. It was New Year’s Eve 2009 when I decided to enroll in classes in Jewelry Design at FIT and [...]
I spent some time living and studying in London. Before that, I no idea what a tea towel really was…or the craze around them. What I’ve come to find is that you can dry dishes with them, frame ‘em (if they are really fancy and awesome) and add a little special something to your kitchen [...]
