Sparkling Spring

Soft, pretty, pastel colours are totally in for spring.  I just ordered myself the cutest ivory, Sea-Scalloped Blouse from FrockStock (www.frock-stock.com) and I can't wait to throw it on!  In keeping with the same trend, I created this light, airy, pale blue necklace to compliment a spring wardrobe.  (I also made earrings to match, which are not pictured.) 

What's your favourite Spring trend this year?  I've seen a lot of mint green and pastels out there.  I've also seen some floral-printed pants (which I'm personally not a fan of). I  think I could probably do the coloured skinnies, but floral pants are out of the question.  My favourite finds are in pale blue colours and shades of peach or coral.  I'm a girl's girl and frankly, I'm down with anything that's sparkly and pretty.  Bring on the warm weather!

Rhinestones Are a Girl's Best Friend

How much do I love rhinestones?!  They are so girly and glitzy, and they're the next best thing to diamonds! I've been inspired lately, by a coworker, who regularly sports some beautiful jewelry with these sparkly stones.  I've also been inspired by my usual vintage jewelry and all the rhinestones found in brooches and clip-ons.  This world needs a little more bling!  I created this long, dainty rhinestone necklace and added some pearls to make it ultra girly.  This piece would be great with a white or cream collared blouse.  The design is simple so the jewels speak for themselves.  Hope you like it!

Hair-Brained Idea!

Here's a great way to use those vintage necklaces you may have lying around in your jewelry box.  Or maybe your mother has a few lying around.  Either way, I've found a few great pieces here and there and attached an elastic to create an ultra girly, ultra pretty headband.  Have you found great ways to repurpose old jewelry?  If so, I'd love to see some of your ideas!

 

This hair accessory was made using a really cool pendant that I wasn't sure what to do with.  A necklace design just wasn't coming to mind when I looked at it.  So, I decided it would make a great statement piece in my hair!  Big and bold.
