The Art of Friendship


My friend Shauna Khorrami a news anchor in Las Vegas wore jewelry I handmade for her today on her morning show. It's one of a kind like she is. Shauna and I met a few years ago when I was assisting one of the top News Agents as I did not want to become an agent I decided to leave my 5 year invested career to pursue fashion. I have been making jewelry since 1998. I can say I have made it earlier on as a child when I got little bead kits for my birthday or Christmas. Shauna and I would talk about how we wanted to be successful in all we love doing and vowed that whoever made it first would help the other out. Well, she has kept her word and I now have more to add to my press-kit. Big thank you to you Shauna! Three years ago she and I were at Fred Segal in LA and she pushed me to talking to the associates and getting the buyers info as she insisted they need to have my jewelry in their store. LOL

The Art of Balance.

After talking with friends about life and being a working mom, I have to admit it is quite a challenge to do it all. I find myself drifting a lot from one thing to another...my focus needs to be corrected. I allowed doubt and excuses to put things off but there is no room for that in my life. I am surrounded by people that encourage me and set great examples. Everyday I am inspired by people like my friend Leslie who is a mother of 3 and has managed to be consistent and dedicated to her blog. Not only that, Leslie has created a way for other bloggers all over to collaborate and support one another. This builds a since of community and encouragement. I feel me having one child can't even compare. I am eternally grateful for people who stop at nothing to pursue their goals and do a damn good job at it. Here is to being up for the challenge and putting my best foot forward everyday. I am not putting myself down in anyway as I know I have had some amazing accomplishments. The fact of the matter is acknowledging what needs improvement as I strive for perfection in my ability to balance. #BLMGirl

The Art of Me

I had my first photoshoot over the Memorial Day weekend. This video shares the art of me, from my style, what I'm capable of doing when I collaborate with others and share my vision. I have a background in film, dance, theater and design. Thankfully I am blessed to use the skills that I have acquired to share with others. After teaming up with the stylist for my shoot, nail technician, and makeup artist, we came up with some wonderful ideas and I feel they all remained true to Regal Sovereign.

The Art of A Woman's Flower

The Floral theme behind my new fall 2011 designs stem from a Feminist Artist by the name of Judy Chicago. Two years ago I went to the Brooklyn museum and there was an exhibit which included the work of Judy's floral sculpted plates. The flowers symbolized the female body. It was amazing how she created numerous plates depicting the female genitalia and I randomly reflect back to that exhibit as I respect artist that push the envelope without worrying what others think. I have always been told women hold a lot of power but if you give your flower away to quickly it can be lost...

The Art of Show and Tell



This week in her Manhattan Showroom, Rebecca Minkoff showed off her Spring and Summer 2011 handbag collections. May I add that she had some beautiful bags. Pictured below are my favorite from her Spring collection.





While sipping champagne and nibbling on hors d'oeuvres I ended up conversing with the designer who I did not realize at that moment it was she. Rebecca was wearing a beautiful ring by Made Her Think that reminded me of one I was wearing and designed. Anyhow, I complimented her on the piece and she then complimented my earrings. I shared with her that I was a designer and had made all the accessories I was wearing. She wanted to photograph my When Doves Cry Earrings from my Connected Collection to post on her blog. By the grace of God she will keep her word and do just that. I would be honored! Rebecca was down to earth and personable. What I admired most is the fact she intends to expose other designers in her blog and share in her spotlight. Afterall, there is room enough for everyone.









The night ended with a classy send off gift bag which included Rebecca Minkoff's Spring 2011 Catalog, wallet and a simple holiday thank you note.
