Inspired by the gorgeous spring we’re having I was furiously cutting fabric last week. The first of the pieces is the French Perfume Comb (the name comes from a rose variety). Lovely and romantic… it’s layer upon layer (almost half a yard) of gently splayed silk chiffon petals. It’s meant to move softly when walking- so dreamy and perfect for summer, and how much can I gush over the the insanely beautiful Swarovski crystal bauble cinching the fabric? I’ve had a box of these little oval gems for a while now just waiting for the perfect use. Love, love, love this!

Little Gems and Romantic Flowers For the Hair
Monday, May 3rd, 2010Deco Society Collection
Thursday, February 4th, 2010Aside from the design my favorite part about this collection is the name. I’m an art history buff so any references make me happy, thus we have the Deco Society collection of pieces. You know I’m not a big fan of feathers because they make me sneeze, but they are ethereal and pretty… and they really are in demand right now. I love the piece above tucked into the low side of a messy bun- you can just see a hint of the feathers from the front- very pretty.
If you prefer no feathers… the unadorned version.
I wear the gold and turquoise version of the Deco Society earrings all the time. Very pretty…
New for Spring – The Luvabow Collection
Monday, February 1st, 2010This is without question my new favorite design! I know I say this often, but this bow is just so sweet, and looks gorgeous tucked in the side of a messy bun. Really very perfect. The cuff bracelets are a new addition to line that I am quite smitten with. I have a headband version of this design. Sadly, it didn’t make it to the photo shoot last week. The bow is set asymmetrically on the band. Very cute. Email me if interested. Thanks to Paula for for tweeting me the fabulous name of “Luvabow”! More new designs to follow soon…
Custom Work – Aquamarine Florence
Friday, January 8th, 2010I really LOVE this custom Florence Hair Ornament I just completed for Danielle from NY. I added an insane amount of aquamarine crystal to the basic design of Florence, creating a more clustered look that sparkles so beautifully. Danielle is placing the piece vertically along a messy bun and pairing it with this gorgeous Vera Wang gown. I love custom work- it’s so much fun to go through the process of talking with a customer about their vision, add my thoughts, brainstorm, and create!
















Designer's Notebook – January Edition
Friday, January 22nd, 2010I have black velvet pads all over the studio with messily arranged sparkly things, most are finished, a few are unfinished, and some just have pieced together ideas- thus, they are my notebooks. I began organizing all the new designs today for a photo shoot I’m planning next week and I am a bit overwhelmed! Recently we got a new computer that doesn’t support the Canon digital software I use to take photos with, so…a lot of new designs have accumulated. Trust, it was an ugly mess which involved a few tears, and a determined and super smart hubby. We’re back on track now and I can’t wait to have all the new pieces up online soon. The pieces shown above are remnants of the “notebooks”. They are new and not available online yet, but as usual if you see something you like just let me know.
In other news I am super excited about our new campaign which will go up on Style Me Pretty in February. Speaking of…did anyone happen to see the guest post by erin ever after on Style Me Pretty today? I was floored by the emerald Gucci dress the bride wore in her Mexican wedding. Just so gorgeous, really…I love when fashion collides so well with weddings!
Have a great weekend!
