A lil update

This past week I took a few days off to travel around Arizona with my family in their RV in search of new findings and inspiration for 2014 collections. I have a lot of work to do now that I'm home. So much inspiration has been built up all week.  Right before I left, I saw an ad for a casting machine (something I've been wanting to get my hands on for quite some time now). So literally hours before I went on my road trip, I went and picked up my newest tool. I have no idea how to use it or what I'm going to create from it, but now I am a proud owner of a beautiful vintage neycraft casting machine.  So here's to the new year, and new tools and findings to play with!

Dark Beauty

A couple weeks ago, in the blurr of the holiday craziness i had the pleasure to work with some talented local artists and makers on a shoot called, "Dark Beauty." I recently met Mae Mariano (make-up stylist) for the shoot through instagram, when she asked if I'd like to collab on this shoot. She did all the coordinating (and hair and make-up) for this whole "Dark Beauty" vision. Couldn't have worked with a better team! Serentity Shae, who modeled, miss Elle Heavin who designed the wardrobe for the shoot, and lastly photographer Antonia Abrego who shot this beautiful collection. Such a fun high energy shoot right before Christmas. Loved it! Even Roman had a blast on his first time out at photo shoot.

DIY splatter christmas balls

This year I didn't have any time to decorate the house and buy a real tree for christmas like I have in previous years here, here, and here! But my parents brought me over a mini tree that stayed undecorated in my house until two nights before christmas. I didn't even want to go in to storage and pull out my boxes of decorations, so I stopped at target on the way home from work for some christmas balls and thought how fun would it be to splatter paint them before putting them on my tree. They actually came out better than I thought! Even though it was small (and fake), i loved our lil tree. Hope everyone had a very merry christmas! 








full moon trunk show

a few weeks ago i got a call to host a full moon trunk show at the ganesha center, which is a spiritual center in las vegas. i was so thankful to be invited to this beautiful event. it was a wonderful evening full of full moon meditations, sample reiki sessions, tea tastings, and good vibes. hoping to do another trunk show event before the holidays, but in the meantime their shop will be carrying more of my jewels in the upcoming month.

wedding weekend

I'm back in Vegas, after spending 6 days back east. The week went by so quickly, but I am so thankful that in my short stay I got to see so many beautiful faces I haven't seen in so long! The best part of my trip was getting to spend the whole weekend with a couple of my best girlfriends, celebrating the most gorgeous wedding of our beautiful lady Kelly. The four of us (there was one of us missing because she's due to have her baby any day now!!) have been by each others sides for over 15 years. I don't know where I would be today if it wasn't for the love and support from these girls in my life. They are my everything. This wedding weekend was absolutely stunning, full of love, tears, joy, and happiness. Definitely one of my most beautiful and memorable weekends of 2013 thus far. I am so thankful I got to be home with them to celebrate it all. Congrats to the beautiful newly weds who are now off honeymooning in Spain!! Love you both so much, already miss you tons..please come visit me soon!
