Fab.com For Valentine's Day January 05 2013
I love Fab! Not just because they`re selling my wares starting Jan 10th and are on Forbes top ten list of tech companies in 2012 but because I've been a customer of theirs since last summer!
Last year I received a wedding invitation from a long time friend of mine Kendall Barber - the brains behind City & Dale & co-owner of Poppy Barley. I was thrilled but a bit puzzled on what to get Ross and her. What do you get a couple that is brilliant, stylish & fun at heart......the list goes on? Besides home design, fashion and travel we both really love good food. Who doesn't? After swapping stories about hunting down the best restaurants in the cities we travel to I started my search for the perfect gift. Getting a whisk or a new cookbook just didn't seem right! When I stumbled on Fab I was hooked! In a short time was able to find two molecular gastronomy kits from "Molecular Foods". Both the cocktail and cuisine kits looked really cool and so UNIQUE! Perfect for my "difficult to buy for foodie friends". I also purchased monbento boxes for my boys. It's truly a cool place to shop online!
It got me thinking that I should contact them to sell my jewelry. What did I have to lose? In early December an email from one of their accessories buyers landed in my inbox. Merry Christmas to me and a big thank you to Fab!
Fab is a place to find unique items that are well curated. They celebrate good design (both big and small brands) and bring it to the masses. Some interesting facts about Fab!

Fall Fashion September 22 2012
Besides jewelry I love all things fashion! My favorite time of year is fall. Every year I put together a "Fantasy Wish List". Some items I don't risk selling out and get right away. Other's I'm forced to wait for a good sale. Regardless I love all these picks for this year! I hope you do too. xoxo
My Creative Process August 24 2012
When I work on a new piece I always do a brainstorm session in my head and then do a quick sketch on my computer. My drawing skills are atrocious! I thought I'd share one of these before I go about making the piece. Later this weekend I'll show you the finished result. I love the idea of mixing cools colors with warm tones. This statement piece will include warm gold mixed with cool metallic grey pyrite and light pink opal. The gold pendant has an Ikat pattern and I'm going to use soft brushed teardrop beads. I think the mix of hard and soft will create something very unique and I'm excited to get into my studio tonight!

EARRINGS August 20 2012
I fell in love with these candy colored gems for fall and making earrings with them was so much fun! Green, teal and shades of blue will be popular during the next season so I focused on those shades but I also snuck in some pops of yellow and pink. I only made one of each so get them before they're gone! I hope you love them as much as I do. xoxo
Gemstone Addict August 11 2012
These beautiful and rare “Phosphosiderite” stones have a vibrant opaque purple color and are derived from phosphorous and iron oxide. The variety I found was mined in Brazil. I can't wait to get working in my studio! I hope you love them as much as I do. xoxo
Orange Revolution July 18 2012
While Pantone selected orange tangerine tango as the color of the year for 2012 so too have the "fashion powers that be". I have to admit, I love it as well! This color brightened the runways for spring and summer and is also strong heading into fall. If you're not sure if you're quite ready for a pair of orange hued denim or a bright summer dress why not try a piece of jewelry! It's a good way to add color to your wardrobe without diving in completely! What do you think of the orange revolution? Check out all my "ORANGE REVOLUTION" pieces!

Getting Married in Ravello, Italy! July 04 2012
Congratulations to Kendall & Ross on their big day and to Jenifer Schaefer for the amazing pictures!
I was honored to work with Kendall to create her jewels for the big day. She has amazing taste and style so it made my job very easy. I love that she wasn’t afraid of color! Getting married while overlooking the coastline of Ravello, Italy inspired the seafoam green chrysoprase, aqua blue chalcedony and pale green prehnite briolette bracelet. The gold teardrop dangle detail was her idea and I love the way it turned out! Mirroring this detail in the earrings I used the lightest green prehnite I could find. It’s almost looks clear but catches the slightest bit of color in the sunlight.
The perfect gems for the perfect bride! Best wishes to you two! xoxo
Coup {Garment Boutique} May 04 2012
If you haven't been to Coup {Garment Boutique} yet what are you waiting for?!
This week I picked up this new Laura Vela - Jill leopard /black leather bag. This is precisely why I shop here! I love to support local but I also like to bpieces that you can't find everywhere.
These days I'm about quality not quantity so when I pick something out I want it to last. I know when I go to Coup Boutique I'll find just that. With brands like Philip Lim, Iro, Raquel Allegra, Tibi, Smythe, Mother Denim, & Mason (just to name a few) I feel like I'm stepping into Barney's without the plane ride!
Yes they also carry my jewelry line but even if they didn't I'd be spreading the word. We're lucky to have them! Plus when you shop there you can stop in at other 104th street gems like Credo Coffee, 29 ARMSTRONG, Dauphine Bakery and Bistro, & deVine Wines.
Sounds like a perfect shopping day to me!
