The Art of Being Thrifty

I love a great vintage find! This pink and black print jumpsuit was at Buffalo Exchange for $12. It had a few holes and missing buttons. After examining the inside, I could see it was an unfinished piece someone had given up on. I ended up getting it for $6 because of the damages to it. With a bit of TLC I took it to a seamstress to have elastic put at the bottom of the leg, the holes sealed and buttons added. I'm an 80's baby so it's remnicent to my era and with a few modern pieces of jewelry and accessories it's styled with self expression. To transition into night I would slip on a pair of black heels.

I will never forget... I wasn't living in New York at the time. Here I am 15 years later and now married to an NYC firefighter. 9/11 is etched in my heart forever.

Building Relationships

I had the pleasure of getting in touch with NBC Host of Open House NYC and LXTV Sara Gore and her stylist Kat Rappaport. They are very sweet down to earth ladies. Here is Sara wearing her Regal Sovereign fishbone earrings and bracelet on this mornings taping of LXTV.

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...

My first sell in the boutique!

I was just told that a pair of my earrings sold yesterday at the boutique! I'm excited as I have not had fancy displays for them...they basically sold themselves. :-) God is good! I received new business cards in the mail today and I am actually going to use them as earring card holders/hangtags to enable consumers to keep in touch with me.

I will be adding rhinestones on the necklace and earrings of the card to give it a little bling. I think that will be fancy and regal enough to go with my pieces. Stay tuned!
