A little sneak peak of what to expect in the Dolorous S/S12 Collection. 

After months of focusing on the retail end of things I'm finally back to my favourite part of my job, its designing time :) I've accumulated pages of designs and have been itching to sit down and get making, and finally, the time has come and I can hardly tear myself away. I had so much fun playing with color in my last collection I just couldn't give it up so heres a taste of my spring palette. Expect lots of pretty pastels and loads more crystals and rhinestones

The Styling Session is an idea I've wanted to incorporate into my blog for a long time now as a way to show the versatility and wearability of even my more dramatic jewellery. This is the first edition of what will hopefully becoming a recurring feature, and who better to begin with than my longtime friend and current roommate Sacha Columbia (a fashion designer with a great blog here). I've also used a few blouses from my sister's line Alex and Eli.

As this is the first of many I expect it to be a work in progress, so feel free to leave feedback and let me know what you think/what you'd like to see more of. Hope you like it!

Sometimes the most productive time in the studio is when you spend it doing something your not supposed to be. Oh the beauty of procrastination.

Yesterday I did some extremely efficient procrastination, and came out with these fun lovelies! They are leather and rhinestone friendship bracelets, amazing for stacking, and I'm totally addicted. I think I want to make a million. For the first three I settled for peach, forest green, and a gray that gets darker towards the center. I love them. I seriously want to make colours for every possible outfit

I know its tons of pictures, I just REALLY love these bracelets (^-^)
