Indie Designers: I Am Dorkas

January 25, 2010

It’s not often I’m instantly beholden and smitten when a designer contacts me about their collection, but this was the case when Marianna Jamadi contacted me about her line I Am Dorkas.  I was beholden by the personal relationships used in her collections, as she builds her jewelry collection with her Portugese boyfriend and her [...]

Indie Designer: Color Me Conscious

January 7, 2010

Smitten. That was my first reaction when I read Miss Malaprop’s post about designer Color Me Conscious. Lee, talent behind Color Me Conscious, makes these gorgeous, rich, stunning, and bold cuffs that I fantasize about having on my wrist.  With multitudes of buttons, or flowers and pearls, her cuffs aren’t the only beautiful statement pieces [...]

What I love about artLAB is how the pieces have this simplicity to them while also projecting luxury and architect. When I picture myself [...]

the Fourth Finger

November 2, 2009

I’m not getting married–or engaged– any time soon (though if a certain fella asked, I wouldn’t say ‘no’). Recent talks with Birdiee got me thinking about the role engagement and wedding rings play in our lives, and it made me realize that it’s important (for me) that my friends and partners know my taste in [...]

Indie Designer Spotlight: Talonalia

October 5, 2009

I was instantly smitten and lustful for Talonalia from the moment I saw it on The Clothes Horse.  Sometimes I become an envious girl at the pretty pieces of others, and Rebecca’s claw pendant definitely brought that out in me!  What really caught my attention was how diverse the pieces are– they can fit in [...]
