A blog about love & sparkle
Thanks so very much. I really appreciate the quick assistance. I received the package with the beautiful comb yesterday morning. Thanks again! It’s perfect! They are so beautiful. Sincerely

I 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!
We had a photo shoot last Friday with the beautiful Ashley and so I am excited to show the first of the new fall line for Naugi! The piece featured in this romantic loosely rolled chignon is the Leaves of Grass Comb. I meant to have two of this piece on hand for the shoot because that’s how I saw it when I was designing it, as a duo of combs grouped together, but I ended up with only one and was still quite pleased. I love how the design dips into the rolls of hair in the above picture. Ashley was fun to work with and endured my poking and prodding in her hair for hours. I’ll show several pictures from the shoot this week and will start working on getting the new line up on our web site. The Leaves of Grass Comb is available now- here’s a closer look.
Sometimes a certain style is my focus because my customers simply won’t have it any other way. Last week more than anything else we sold multiple sets of larger style hairpins. So I dug through my archive of photos and pulled out some photos from a shoot we did last summer in which we pulled long hair up into a side sweep and adorned with hairpins. The Plumeria flower below is actually attached to a very small comb but it’s essentially the same concept as a hairpin. I love the ear tuck here!
Below is the Anjou Bobby Pin a large star like shape made of large Swarovski pears. I love this design and wear the ring all the time!
Let me know if there is a particular hair style you are interested in seeing. We’ll be doing a photo shoot in a few weeks and would love to hear from you!
I have been hard at work on a new collection featuring FEATHERS. I love the mass that this soft and billowy material can create. And… the movement that is created with each step you take is luxurious to me- a soft flutter and swoosh, swoosh as you walk. Ahhh, I just love little things like this!
There are a few cool features in this collection. The two top pieces, the Sabrina Comb and the Jackie’s Feathers Comb, both can be sent back to us after the wedding for feather removal. You’ll be left with a gorgeous comb to wear many times over and serve as a reminder of your special day!
The 3rd piece down, the Chantilly Lace Comb has a removable brooch. Again, wear this over and over. I LOVE idea this so much!
The bottom piece, the Clara Bow Headband is a lovely flapper like piece. The feathers sit a few inches above the right ear for a soft and glamorous look. This detail could actually be attached to a comb if you would prefer.
I love this new collection! It’s an affordable way to incorporate a larger headpiece and in a few of the designs have something left to treasure for years afterward.
Have you thought about wearing feathers for your wedding or rehearsal dinner?

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!
