FallingForFashion

2009-08-26T08:28:00.001-07:00

There's something about the Fall Season that reinvents fashion and inspires me every year. I can remember when I purchased my first copy of InStyle. It just so happened to be their Fall issue for that year. I was 15 years old and at a Florida convention with my parents. I purchased the magazine at the hotel gift shop knowing that I would be stuck in the room for the majority of the day.

Unaware, my love for fashion started at the age of two. I would never hesitate to verbalize what I thought of my mother's outfits. I demanding to wear party dresses every day (including the day when painting the outside of the house was on the agenda). I would get in numerous fights with my mother as she would dress me in CORDUROY PANTS (ugh!) to go climb trees at a friends. As a teen I would often stay home alone in my room and put together "looks" from my closet. My real career dream always included singing.

That September, the moment I opened my first copy of InStyle...The Fall Issue...I knew that fashion design was my place. The rest of the trip the magazine never left my side. I was completely mesmerized and inspired by each and every glossy, wide-paged display of high-fashion (growing up in a small town, this was an eye-opener).

And here we are...at the beginning of it all again...Fall Fashion 2009! A Chance to re-invent, re-discover, and get inspired!

Prepping the 'behind the scenes'

2009-03-25T17:30:00.000-07:00

Many of you have recently been in the store and noticed some changes. We are working on expanding what we offer to our customers. I have been so busy talking with designers and putting together paperwork, contacts, faxes, emails, phone calls, etc. that there hasn't been much jewelry making going on.

We are constantly getting new shipments in from upcoming designers all around the world and we are pleased that we get to share them with you!

I have a few weddings and custom orders to finish up before getting back on task with creating for the store. In the meantime, stop in and check out all of the *gorgeous* new pieces that we are offering from other designers! We personally select each designer individually to ensure quality and flow.

Here is a pair of earrings that I made today...
