Inspiration Board: Modern Sheath Dress

I saw this beautiful Nicole Miller dress and it moved me to create an inspiration board.  I've paired this exquisite dress with these Loeffler Randall bridal booties and my own Cascading Pearl Earrings. This combination makes for beautiful clean lines in a bridal look.  Enjoy!

Fall 2011 Jewelry

 Whew, it's finally here --- new jewelry for Fall 2011.   Above are a few samples of new pieces in the collection.  To view full collection, click here.  I'm not sure how Fall got here so fast, just the other day it seems it was Spring.  Speaking of Spring - this is Fashion Week here in New York, so I hope to have a few pictures of my favorite designers up on the blog soon.

It may be a small lust list, but it's a very MUST have list!  Though I'm not sure I can justify the cost of the first two.  A girl can dream about: Loeffler Randall shoes, a Sophie Theallet resort collection dress, and this super sweet necklace by Laurie Poast of ARTISANIEeurope.

I am a big fan of turquoise.   So I decided to browse around and put together a Etsy treasury based on the color turquoise and white for a wedding.  There are so many talented artisans on the site it was hard to choose, but I picked things that would work well with a vintage theme wedding.  To view the entire treasury with links to all the artists shop, click here.

Fun Brass Jewelry

 

I usually work in gold and silver, but today I brought out all of my brass to play.  I love working with brass, it has an earthy quality and beautiful color to boot.  Raw brass chains are usually heavy and luxurious.  I typically buy brass vintage or deadstock chain, which is great for the environment.  I will be posting these one of a kind beauties in my Etsy shop in the next few days.

Working in the Studio

 

A friend of mine asked me what it looks like when I work.  Well, here is the the cleaned up version. I will not show you how crazy messy it can get.  I tend to work like a blizzard hit, with everything strewn about.  I find it helps the creative juices to have everything in front of you.
