DRESS UP your basics with JEWELRY
I’ve always been a JEWELRY lover! So much so, that I’ve even created and sold my own original pieces.
But to be honest, I much prefer discovering talented designers and building my personal collection. I started creating my collection over 20 years ago!
Below are some of my tips to building your own collection of memorable pieces…
(1.) Be sure to pick up a piece (or two) when you TRAVEL. Not only will it be unique but it will transport you back to that destination every time you wear it.
(2.) Visit a local DESIGNER MARKET and purchase a piece from an aspiring ARTISAN designer. Handmade/original designs are one of my favorites.
(3.) Shop the internet! INSTAGRAM has opened up my eyes to many NEW designers and they don’t always have to cost a fortune.
(4.) NO “Rules”… Forget the idea that if you are petite, you can’t wear BIG, BOLD pieces.
I collect all shapes and sizes, from minimal and simple pieces to those “in your face” designs. I love them ALL!

ONE Outfit ~ THREE Looks
Look #1 - Styled with a bright textured BLAZER for a more corporate environment.
Look #2 - Make it a little more casual, add a cropped VEST that brings a pop of color as well.
Look #3 - Have a little more fun with your look, throw on a vibrant statement piece such as this ethnic woven DUSTER.

VINTAGE MIX
Incorporate that unique VINTAGE piece that nobody else in the room will be wearing and pair it with some of your EVERYDAY garments.
Combine Patterns & Prints,  Bold & Vibrant Colors, Statement Accessories.
Have fun with your fashion and don't take it too seriously!
