will you, you will, will you...

So, I've been adamant about not "getting into" the whole wedding/bride thing for some strange reason. I guess because I'm a far cry from your traditional lady. Then I realized that I love parties, I love food, I love design, I love decorating, I love plotting and planning, I love jewelry (duh), and I love clothes. So...aren't these the most import parts of a wedding? Oh, well there's love too-but we've got that part down pat.

Anyway, this is my one and only general warning that there may be some wedding posts popping up over the next year. Warning, warning, warning!

This whole revelation was spawned by the Marchesa S/S '12 collection revealed recently at NYFW.

It had me dreaming of running around like an art deco forest nymph in an ethereal dress on my big day with a messy up do, stained red lips, wide eyes and dewy skin.

jewelry crush: Tom Binns

Perhaps the master and creme de la creme of costume jewelry designers, Tom Binns. I think I love it so much because it's completely different than my jewelry, but so amazingly awesome.

Paley on a small scale...

Albert Paley is best known as a sculptor, but he got his start in the metals arts on a smaller scale. I love this necklace of his because it is simple in its' shape and pretty bada**. The dagger pendant is 19" long! Look closer and you'll find it is technically amazing in its construction, something that I certainly appreciate as a jeweler. The best of both worlds.

Ring Envy

As a jewelry designer, I pay a lot of attention to what other jewelry designers are doing. I have been quite taken for quite some time with Israeli-born goldsmith Daphna Simon. The weighty luxury of Simon's 18 karat sculptural pieces is almost palatable.

I want them on me. Now, please.

Stars + Ravens

I'm absolutely obsessed with local gal Sarah Boruso's nostalgic collection of carefully made clothing called Stars + Ravens.  The intrigue lies just as much in her inspiration as in the breathtaking details and draping of her garments.  Not to mention, she's the lead singer in a band, AND her name is Sarah (with an "h")
