In the famous words of Beyonce…. “IF YOU LIKED IT THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE PUT A RING ON IT.. OH, OH, OH!”

PS- I LOVE rings! Cocktail, silver & gold bands, gem stones, hammered metal, funky studs.  My collection of ring styles span from A-Z but I don’t have enough fingers to sport them all.  Here’s the perfect solution to showcase your rings, and make a statement… necklace that is!  All you need are a few ring-a-dings and a string, rope, or ribbon!

Oh, Oh Oh!

If you haven’t been struck by the tie die movement that has come back in a big (and amazing) way… then you’ve been living under a rock.  The hippie loving color burst designs have been seen on runways, fashion mags, and found their way into my closet!

Have fun tie diy’ing (as i like to call it) with just about anything and everything… get creative and re-invent your bags, dresses, scarves, shoes!

For a fast, fun, and easy alternative to liquid dye- try Simply Spray.. its to DYE for!  http://www.simplyspray.com/

Peace. Love. and Tye Dye!

Right now I’m really into anything and everything Art Deco!  Crystals, beaded accents, and silver touches with clean lines… anything goes!  Here’s a fun take on a 1920’s headpiece I made for an uber fancy party I attended in NYC.

All you need is a headband, glue, some festive beaded trim (www.mjtrim.com is my go to) and a vintage or art deco inspired pin.  Tadaaa!

It’s Electric! (Wire, that is).  Right now, I’m really into sporting and stacking bright, vibrant bangle bracelets.  The more the merrier, I say!  On my trip to the hardware store, I was inspired by reams of electric wire hanging from the walls.

Mixed with some fun neon and metallic tape, this combo is spot on!  Make your bangle bracelet as big as you wish.  Get creative with other colored tapes and colored wires.

ps- don’t wear in water, have fun getting wired!

PS- I made this… Nautical Flag sign

It’s no secret that I LOVE BOATS!  From summer camp to crewing on various sail boats in the British Virgin Islands and Florida… I was hooked at an early age.  One useful thing I picked up over the years, was another language… the Nautical Alphabet!  Each letter in the alphabet has a flag that it represents.  Not only do they stand for something, their bold markings make for cool decor accents.

Combining my love for all things Nautical and home decor, I decided to make wall art  out of colorful paper, a piece of wood (found at the beach), and some unbleached cotton sailors rope.  Monogram names or favorite destinations by the sea…get creative with your messages! 

AHOY!
