{ chandelier earrings } April 28, 2008

Ever stood in front of a mirror and wondered how to accessorize if you are wearing a blouse with frills or a dress with details near to the neckline?

Well, keep the noise level down by avoiding huge or long necklaces. The eye has enough to see at the chest level. So, to still head out without looking overly dramatic like a X’mas tree, or downright incomplete with boring studs, create movement with these chandelier earrings to bring attention to that pretty face of yours. Dress it up and reflect that confidence you naturally exude!

Old jazz playing in the background, the meandering Seine River in sight, sipping a cuppa alfresco style in a Paris sidewalk cafe in the late afternoon. These are the images that inspired me when crafting these necklaces. Trying to recapture the romanticism of bygone days, lace appliqués that are imported from Japan, are used as the centerpiece, while other elements wrap themselves around to create a flamboyant display that’s so associated with the French’s ardor.

To saunter down this season’s springtime catwalk, you’ll need some frills to mix n’ match – flouncy sheers, lace in tones of white, cream, silver & black, or small floral prints. If lace on a outfit is not your cup of tea, why not consider a handcrafted French-inspired lace necklace to update your look, display an ounce of romantic girlishness that’s one of the key looks this season?

After the success of our collection in ‘Tribute to my Favorite Vehicles’, I’m following up with another one of my all-time beloved automobiles. This car never fails to draw my attention whenever it passes my line of vision – the Volkwagen Beetle. The Beatles loved it, Heikenwaelder Hugo drew it, and ‘Transformers’ made it all the more famous with Autobot Bumblebee. The list goes on…

Here’s our playful take on this classic German vehicle that continues to inspire us. You can wear it out on a sunny day, when you just want to be a little crazier, a little more carefree, a little younger than you could be on any typical day. Its exuberant colors allow you to pair it with just a simple white or black tee…and you will still look cheerful!
