Deco Society Collection

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

Aside 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, 2010

This 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…

Best Dressed at the Golden Globes

I’m a fan of simplicity when it comes to award show fashion. Much of the fashion is so overdone that any underlying beauty gets lost. Not so with the presence of Sandra Bullock and Jennifer Aniston at last nights 2010 Golden Globes. Sandra Bullock’s Bottega Venetta rich purple gown was perfect against her skin tone and accented simply with jewels by Lorraine Schwartz. You can see a hint of her Casadei signature 3504 Triple Platform pumps peeking through at the bottom. So lovely! Jennifer Aniston was absolutely stunning in Valentino couture, Versace shoes (I love the black toe polish), and Fred Leighton jewels. An important thing about these two women is that they both seem comfortable with themselves and that in itself is beautiful. Well done, ladies!

House of Lavande

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

As I mentioned yesterday Kristen Stewart wore a House of Lavande cuff to the VMA awards on Sunday night. Curiosity sent me looking for more information and I LOVE what I found! I can’t believe I didn’t know about this fabulous company, which scours flea markets and estate sales around the world, looking for vintage collectible costume jewelry. My love of jewelry began in my grandmother’s jewelry box so I completely relate to the passion it surely takes to seek out these pieces. The House of Lavande website is filled with beautiful photography and a section where if you are so luckily inclined you can purchase one of their found treasures.

I just can’t tell you how much I LOVE the above four necklaces paired together. I’m tingling with excitement right now!

Not sure if I love the dress of the jewelry more, or if I just love the idea of lounging around looking so beautiful.

Greek goddess

I take the dog, pool, the beautifully rolled hair, and the stunning green bracelet.

Hope you enjoy this find as much as I do!

Naugi Paloma Collection Paired with the Camille Gown by J.Crew

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

This post is about my chic (and super sweet) customer Alanna who is planning on wearing every piece of Naugi jewelry pictured above. She knows exactly which elements she wants in her jewelry and gown- casual, flowing, bold accents, beautiful- and she has her look pretty much pulled together. She’s wearing her long hair down and unadorned and wanted to really glam up her jewelry. I think she can easily pull it off at her beach side wedding in July. She’s incorporating a subtle makeup palette and is very interested in how her jewelry will reflect the light on the beach. So interesting (I loved working with her!!). Here’s her J.Crew gown which is another reason I love her and wanted to write a post about her!!

The Camille gown is perfect for the beach and for dressing up with jewelry. We’re making the Paloma Necklace much longer than pictured above so that the bottom crystals fall just above the deep v in the neckline of the gown. She wearing the Paloma Long Earrings as well as the Paloma Bracelet on one wrist and the Alina Bracelet on the other. I think she will be stunningly beautiful and I can’t wait to see photos! Alanna very kindly said I could turn her look into a blog post, thanks!!

Do you have any aspects such as light that are important to you in creating your look?
