live from new york...it's my new collection!!

hello everyone!

so i know there has been some really awful radio silence for a bit here and i must apologize but as you can see from the jewelry above, i have been VERY busy!

i am that girl that dreams about weird alien creatures and gets excited about it. i am that girl that freaks out when she sees deco architecture. i am that girl who is in love with charles rennie mackintosh and gustav klimt. i am that girl that lives off of comic books and fantasy novels. above all, i am a bold woman - especially when it comes to fashion.

this new collection, reflects all of these parts of me.

all of the pieces were drawn out and then hand carved, by myself, from wax. then i had a talented local metal artist lost wax cast my pieces. these are the fruits of my labor. almost all of them will be available in my new big cartel shop by this weekend.

i would love to hear what you think!!

big retro fantasy hair styles with a modern twist

i am a very nostalgic person. i am drawn to decades past. i am also drawn to fantastical things. hence why the images above have been floating around in my mind. i love the mix of retro styles with modern, dramatic flair. i think i may have to try one of these out for an event i have tonight. i will take plenty of pictures if i do!

also, i spent last night around the city with my friend lydia of pierogi picnic. it was fantastic! we ate thai food {our favorite!!}, walked to a fashion event, took pictures of graffiti, filmed cool things...and guess what?! i am going to work out my new blogshop video skills with it this weekend! can't wait to make something semi-awesome for you to enjoy!
