I love the way Helena de Natalio uses such soft, buttery, and playful leathers. I’m crazy about my black bag that I’ve used nearly everyday for the past 2 years & it’s just getting better with time. Helena uses exotic materials to design her clutches and gathers inspiration from her travels through South America while she was volunteering for the Peace Corps. These little foldover clutches on on my wish list…
These were a few inspirations from my past weekend in California with 3 of my best girlfriends from college.
-The perfect combination of muddled lime and mint in a mojito.
-A mix of prosciutto, salami, spicy mustard, mercato almonds, cornichons, sea salt crackers and cheese.
-White washed wooden tables and frames.
-Trying to catch the green flash after a sunset.
-The drive along the Californian coast up to Santa Barbara.
-Remembering that the best things in life are free.
-Retelling old stories with friends and laughing until we’re breathless.
-Aimlessly driving, walking, exploring and seeing where the day takes us.
-Waking up to the Pacific Ocean and drinking a hot cup of coffee along the beach.
Charleston yesterday and California today! I just finished packing up my bags and looking forward to hopping on a plane for a little girl’s trip out to California to visit one of my best friends, Mariel. All orders will be shipped next Monday – August 29th!
Mariel took this photo from her backyard! Can’t wait to be watching the sunset tonight!
Another group of bridesmaids and a different pair of earrings for each girl…I’m loving it! These blue beauties are made from a mix of silver, blueberry quartz, amazonite, freshwater pearls, recycled beach glass, seed beads, and ice quartz. Can’t wait to see photos from the wedding and how everything tied in together!

I loved the creative freedom I had when I designed 8 pairs of earrings and necklaces for these bridesmaids. For the necklaces, the bride chose chose The Courtney Necklace in gold, but she wanted something different for the earrings. The only thing that I new for sure was that she wanted a mix of strawberry quartz, gold, and freshwater pearls in the earrings…the rest was up to me. Each pair is different to suit each maids’ personality!

When I was in 5th grade, I started taking guitar lessons (they only lasted a few years, but I loved them.) I was so excited to pick out my first guitar strap…a blue and yellow one with owls stitched on it and backed in leather. Since then, I’ve always loved guitar straps…especially the colorful, vintage ones that carry so many musical memories. I’ve started a new jewelry line of vintage guitar strap bangles. They are great to layer or just stand out on their own. Here are a few photos of what’s in store…even my bulldog, Sukie, is a fan!
A special thanks to photographer, Meg Runion, for sending these photos over to me after capturing Jennifers’ bridesmaids in custom jewelry. Jennifer McDaniel Downs worked with me to design a custom pair of orange coral and gold earrings and necklace for each girl. Her color scheme, orange and brown, was so unique and all the details blended together beautifully!
