I’m not sure which I love more right now- doodling or making pretty sparkly flowers.  Here we’ve got a bit of  both. A new collection of Naugi flowers for the hair… and some doodling too. The most coveted hair accessory for the summer wedding is a gorgeous fabric flower, right? Honestly I don’t have a wedding to be at or in so I’ve just been clipping these flowers in my hair for no other reason than they are drop dead gorgeous and make me feel super pretty. My favorite placement for these beauties is clipped right above the ear. So glamorous. Shown are the {Chanel Flower, Loveliest Small Flower, and Loveliest Large Flower}. You can purchase you own lovely hair flower here. Enjoy!

Combine an impossible number of layers of silk chiffon and little tufts of french netting and the result is one of the loveliest creations ever. Really, it is one of my favorite new pieces. And my favorite placement… tucked right above the ear. Simple. Beautiful.

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!

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…

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…

I 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!

After designing the Rosaline Hair Ornament below I envisioned it paired with a flowing romantic gown like this Amsale. It’s a perfect compliment to the floral embroidered bodice detail. I almost attached this design asymmetrically to a headband…I couldn’t decide, still might. It looks very chic worn in flat in front.  For me there are always too many possibilities (thus buying more than one wedding gown, three in fact)!

Enjoy and as always let me know if you have any questions or comments!

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.

I am so excited to be introducing a new chandelier earring Secret Love! I’ve had this new design sitting on the shelf for a few months now just waiting to be photographed on a white background. I think photography may be another post all together which I will start thinking about…let me know if you have any specific questions about photographing jewelry (not that I’m an expert, but I do have a ton of experience).

Back to the earrings…they are just beautiful with the perfect weight and swing. I’d say they are a medium length at 2 1/4″ and would serve as the perfect compliment to a gown with subtle detailing.

As always please let me know if you have any questions or comments. Enjoy!
