Creative Sundays!!

Today was truly awesome. I was out the door at 7am so I could get to the flea market nice and early. I was on a search for all things vintage..I found some amazing wooden chests to display my jewelry in for the two upcoming shows I'm doing in December. Along with those I found tons of exquisite vintage pieces that needed some love but after working on them all day they came out beautiful.

There is nothing quite as exciting as going to an estate sale or a flea market. There is so much to look at and lets be honest some of it is really bad. But beneath all the not so great items you find some truly amazing treasures hidden beneath the surface. Those are my absolute favorite finds. Often the second I see something I already can picture in my head what I want to do with it. Today I literally couldn't get home fast enough because I was so excited to work with all my new gems. With so many new pieces I am certainly not going to be sleeping from now until Christmas! Here is a preview of just a few of the items I made today. There will be a lot more to follow in the next few weeks!


Raina $195.00-14k gold fill chain and blue lapis

Envy Necklace $75-14k gold fill chain with vintage pendent

Love Affair with Scarlett

It's no secret that I have had a serious crush on Scarlett Johansson for years now. The love affair began in 2003 when I first saw Lost In Translation with her and Bill Murry. It is literally one of my all time favorite movies! Over the years I have managed to watch her grow from the girl next door to a beautiful young women. While she still continues to amaze with her acting she has now added modeling to her resume. Mango has chosen to use her once again for their Fall/Winter 2010-2011 campaign. The line is inspired by timeless British classics. The collection features rich textures including tweed, corduroy, and furs. I can't wait to see the pieces come to life in stores. Here is a little preview of my top five favorite looks.






Model: Scarlett Johansson
