i have a rocky love affair with the internet.

i love it, it hates me.
i hate it, then it shows me something so beautiful, i can't help but fall back in love with it again.

it gives me control over things i never had control over,
in turn, it steals my time and my ability to interact with human beings face to face.

it shows me things i've never seen,
teaches me things i never would have known

it relates to me
it excuses my bad habits.

got a soundtrack for the day...

growth.

tomorrow I'll be in LA for a "ladies lotto" event..my first.

L.A. is crowded, and dirty. But it's also full of culture, life and opportunities.

Melinda of H.E.R. Nails has shown me nothing but love since we met. I'll be there as 1 of her guests, and she'll be rockin' my "offerings" necklace.





how sick is that?

She's gorgeous and a talented nail designer. She's graced the hands of Erykah Badu, Cassie and Serena Williams.. just to name a few.

In LA? Hit her up for an appt. She's professional, and knows her stuff.


She always looks out for me. It's amazing when people believe so much in what you do.

I'll blog about the event on Thursday ;)

consistency.

what a glorious weekend I had...
i laid out at the beach.. went swimming in the ocean..
played with clams, shells, and the likes.

i live a blessed life, and it is no more apparent than when I can take a 12 minute ride, and the spend the rest of my day laid out in the sand with my love.

it also breeds so much inspiration.

i posted some new jewelry today.. some in my personal boutique, some in my vintage shop.
le's go!



a hand-hammered solid brass
asymmetrical cuff.
just look at that shape.. i'm in looooove :)
*all photos by me


my newest agate ring.
Earth was showing its ass when it created this.
the color combination makes me feel thankful to be alive to see things like this.
this piece is $24 and available here.


a vintage hammered silver collar necklace.
the shape is stunning and it is comfortable to wear.

available now in my resell shop.


a vintage 42" flapper necklace in silver.
no signs of wear, Monet.


vintage flexible collar necklace
w/no signs of wear.
stamping is present on the clasp and this feels SO comfortable on your neck.



i took these in my parents backyard. they've spent countless hours creating their sanctuary.
peep the Buddha I shot this on.. and the views.

i hope to have something like this for my kids 1 day.

bastet collection.

bastet was an Egyptian goddess symbolized by a cat :)

my new collection will pay homage to her, in jewelry.




these 3.5" earrings are made from solid brass vintage parts, chain and earwires.
they are lightweight and offer a lot of movement :)



and as I begin to redefine what a dope necklace is, peep my latest stunner.
a chunky, solid brass 4" stunner w/ cougar!

all of my parts are vintage. if slight color variations bother you, no problem. brass can be cleaned in a multitude of ways. just let me know your preference upon purchase ;)



i just love the visual appeal of this necklace.
the crescent bib, the detail of the cat
the extremely fresh chunky chain.

smokin' blunts, sippin' on Heinekens..

tell me this doesn't make you dance, smile, remember old crushes, wanna create, get out enjoy the day.. all'adat!

new jewels coming today.. I shocked myself on these.
