Happy Birthday Virgo, 70’s Birthday Bash

 

One of my most faithfully customers Denise, told me that she needed jewelry for her 70’s Birthday Bash.  I knew that i wanted to create a design that would have a vintage and modern vibe. This is what I came up with:

After midnight Cinderella was transformed….

Saturday I went to the Vanity Fashion Show @ the Max Fisher Theatre.  I got the chance to network with some designers & models and got a chance to meet the Detroit Blogger Ris.I thought the preshow vendor expo & the fashion show was great & definitely something I want to involved in next time around.  For my outfit I wanted to blend a Summer & Fall 2010 trend: Neutral & Lace.  I found this cute pale pink top, paired it with my lace leggings.  My accessories & hair prevented the look from being too prissy and gave me the perfect opportunity to try out my chain ear cuffs.

I love the fact that even though I had lots of chains on the cuff they weren’t that heavy and I gave my poor earlobe a rest from the heavy earrings.  I working on more designs with Fall 2010 trends that will be available by the end of May. Even though I would love to look like this everyday its not appropriate for my day job so Monday morning is like Cinderella’s midnight curfew to me. Enjoy!

Quest for Precious Gems…..

Just got back from New York buying materials for my Midsummer & Fall 2010 collections.  I was going through the pics we took while walking around and I came across this pic my Honeydew secretly took of me probably out of sheer boredom. LOL! I’m in a turquoise phase right now but I did manage to stay focused and buy some of the things on my list. While shopping I ran into a native Detroiter Rayeshia who moved to NY and is a fellow jewelry designer! She was so nice and of course dressed to killed.  My inspiration for the midsummer collections is sand, sea, sunken treasure, & mermaids. Enjoy!

Time is an Albatross around my neck…

Last thursday I went thrifting after work & I got a call from my Honeydew about going out to watch the Cavaliers vs Celtics game.  As I hurried to the counter to pay for my goods I started thinking about what to wear.  Over the course of my 45 min drive I came up with a dozen possible color combos & outfits inspired by my shopping.  Of course Honeydew was waiting for me when I pulled up and ready to go and he didn’t look happy.  Apparently he had been waiting for me for 20 mins but I told him I needed to go inside for a second aka change clothes & jewelry which usually works.  But he wasn’t buying it and proceeded to rant about my tardiness and that it takes me to long to get ready, Nonsense.  However to keep peace I kept my work outfit on which too stiff for the bar. But it got me to thinking about my wardrobe & my process for getting dressed.  I think in color first, outfit second which can be time consuming then I thought about a impromptu date we went on and I was ready in 10 mins:

 It was a white tee & jeggins and I threw on the blazer I had been wearing all week pumps & scarf and I was ready and we had a blast.  Neutral top, jeans, & colorful bold accessories will be my uniform for the summer.  This is what I’m wearing to work & to meet Honeydew for an early dinner.  Enjoy!

Spring oh Spring Where are you?????

I’ve been dreaming about spring since January and my dream hasn’t quite been realized yet.  A couple of times I thought I was going to have to break out the winter coat but I learned to layer creatively and to mix summer dresses with heavy sweaters. Now I find my self daydreaming about 80 degree weather, white sand beaches, seashells, and vintage romper.  On the jewelry designing front I have been drawn to statement pieces. Enjoy!

The February fashion magazines issues are my absolute favorite issues to buy! I caught a cold over the holiday so that gave me an excuse to lay around surrounded by  a ton of magazines undisturbed.  Here are my 3 fav spring 2010 trend shots:
