CLASSIC COLOR COMBO

Some things never change - and my love for turquoise and gold is one of them. I see so much beauty in this combination of colors - I see springtime. I see traveling. I see the beach and I see effortless beauty.

Creating a line if jewelry with these vibrant colors came quite naturally to me, because of the effortless beauty that turquoise embodies. These new pieces have most certainly become my favorite line in my entire collection.

RED PUNCH

My absolute favorite trend right now is without question pops of bright red: a purse, a scarf, shoes, lipstick  nail polish & jewelry . I just love the aura of confidence red gives off and this look is so incredibly easy to achieve since all you need is some neutrals to pair it with! I am so eager to add some pops of red to my wardrobe this season!

The motivation behind my "Red Collection" was the simple fact that jewelry can be worn over and over with different outfits making them anew each time.

ACCESSORIES FOR MEN

A good male friend on mine recently approached me asking if I make men's accessories. To my dismay, my answer was no which made me realized this is something I definitely need to change! He kindly forwarded me an article from a recent GQ issue designated to men's accessories. It was a fantastically eye opening article about how men's accessories are commonly overlooked because of the simple word "accessories" which has been geared towards women to represent, jewelry, bags, hair items etc. BUT, there has been a recent wave of popularity for men's accessories, specifically bracelets.

I loved the idea of creating a men's bracelet to add to my jewelry line, and can't believe I didn't think of it sooner. I wanted to create something simple and masculine - something that can be layered or worn alone. And I want to give a special thanks to Ryan, my wonderfully fashion forward friend!

THE BOLD, THE BRIGHT & THE BEAUTIFUL

I think it's safe to say that the trend this season is bright, bold colors - Weather it's the simple pop of a hot pink belt or as loud as some bright yellow jeans. It's definitely time to put our cozy and drab winter wardrobes away and break out some vibrant colors... the neons, the color blocking : It's truly fashion in it's most fun form. Now is the time to be bold and daring!

I knew I wanted to create a collection of bold & bright colored stones and I quickly knew agate stones were the perfect fit for my new lines. Agate stones are known for the vibrant colors and I quickly fell in love with the magentas, the electric blues and the spring greens.

INSPIRE ME

I love to window shop - online or at a store. It's just as fun to window shop for things that are in my budget as well as out of my budget. I've never shied away from buying something and reconstructing it. It's amazing what a pair of scissors and a needle and thread can do. It has the ability to alter a new piece of clothing or revamp something old. I've been doing this for years, altering everything from prom dresses to a blouse that needed a little face lift.

I'm a BIG online shopper. There's something so exciting about being able to click a button, place my order and have it at my doorstep a few days later. I love the convenience, the anticipation and the thrill of it all. I don't buy too much jewelry anymore (now that I make my own) but I love doing some online window shopping to get inspired. I love looking at expensive pieces and remaking it (with my own spin on it), but for a much friendlier price. 

Below is my latest findings from shopbop.com. These delicate gold cylindrical shapes keep showing up, and I can't help but love them and think to myself, "I can make something similar and for less then half the price."

 Kristen Elspeth: Arc Necklace Original Price: $146.00

Jennifer Zeuner: Horizontal Bar Bracelet: $165

Kora: Horizontal Rothko Necklace $172

These cylinders are so delicate and beautiful but have a stand-out quality to them that I just love. 

Below are my creations - a little more budget friendly accompanied by a lot less buyers remorse.
