radio daze.

so, not 1 week into our new home, and SO much has happened.
seems like something is happening everyday here. i guess that's just life in big cities.

found out last weekend, via Twitter, that Bilal Oliver (one of my FAVE artists) needed some extras for a video for his new single.

I get dressed, apprehensively, thinking 'ok... i'm sure nothing will come of it, and TONS of other chicks are down there already, and first in line.' ... and anyway, i'm a background type of chick, anyway.

no. actually I was the first one there.. and one of the main chicks in the video.
*blank stare*what? ok....
i'm not a video chick.. so at this point, I'm just hoping I gave them SOMETHING to work with. i can be quite a dork... i tried hard to see their vision for the video, and manifest it accordingly.

still.. whoa... what a day.

here's some pics :)


in the alley behind Little Temple

I made TONS of new friends (shoutout to Geisha Marie, Thabisile, Makeda, Om'Mas,Ainjoy, Shafiq and Bilal)... spent an entire day with Bilal, and my fiancee was there every step of the way to encourage, and enjoy the eye candy.

I also rocked some of my "peaces...." naturallly.


aaaaand......
Sorry I haven't updated all week, but the Fall Collection is moving nicely, AND I've even added some new items to it.

check it:











i'm working on a dope partnership with a huuuuge blog, and I can't wait to share more details...

i'm also failing at adjusting to a new city -- it's been a rough adjustment. I hope the haze passes quickly... the nonstop orders no longer afford me the luxury of taking a day or so off, without it causing a huuuuge backup in production.

since we finally have our own space, i'll look forward to hiring an intern, and giving them their own desk in the living room a few hours a week.

*drifts off* that's gonna be so lovely.

anyway, ya'll enjoy your weekend.. i think i may be back later with one more update to make up for my janky ass week of no-posting.

peace, love.

remember to breathe, live from the ground up, and always be thankful for the little things - even the drama. it all happens to teach us a lesson.

xo,
C.

i hope you guys dig it. it was finalized during a move from San Diego to Los Angeles.
i put everything i had into it, and when i didn't think i had anything left to give, i gave a little bit more. i feel thankful to have found something the i am so passionate about, that gives me the strength to fight through ANYTHING to see it come alive.

xo,
C.

Fall lines are dropped tomorrow....

give thanks.

hiiiiiiii......

*view from our bedroom window

omg... ok.
so we are in the new apt in LA.
we could NOT be happier to be here.
you'll be hearing my name more and more soon, as my sole purpose for being here is to grind in a way that I could not in other cities.

i dare not waste this time.

we got our internet installed today, so I am playing catch up for the last ten days of craziness.

if you have emailed me, thanks for your patience. you will be receiving an email in the next 24 hours
as I sift through this work.

in addition to the Fall line which drops Friday,
and will include 20+ items,
i released about 10 new "peaces" today that are all one of kind.
sort of a way to get your ready :)

i will be listing them in my big cartel, and i am even thinking of opening an etsy shop
just for these items.

in the meantime, mosey on over to the boutique, enjoy my fave song right now by the Jaspects, aaaand enjoy the photos!

i'll be back tomorrow.

xo,
C.


































you can find all earrings HERE.

Updates!!!!!

- got a new apartment in Los Angeles, and we are moving ASAP

- my etsy site is temporarily closed down ... please use my personal boutique ONLY.
- apparently T.I.'s wife Tiny bought up every pair of PeaceImages feather earrings in stock at IVogue boutique in LA (so if any of you catch any photos of her in my sh*t, hook a sista up with a link!)
- PeaceImages is also in the upcoming issue of Russh Mag, in Australia!

i move.

....hey beautiful people.
What a HECTIC 3 weeks I've had.

it's been back to back orders, Fall lines, constant networking, a much-needed spiritual growth spurt, and a huuuuuge trip to ATL this week that I'm so excited about.

so since I'll be down there for about 7 days, i'll be temporarily closing the shop. you can still view my work, and still make purchases; and since I know myself, and refuse to tell a lie, i will definitely still be available by email to answer any questions you may have about my products. working for self means no vacations... ever.

items purchased from 8/9 - 8/18 won't ship until the weekend of the 21st, at the earliest.

i'm sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

don't hesitate to holla at me via email (photosbypeace@gmail.com) with questions about ship dates, availability, etc.

and if any boutiques in the ATL area are interested in stocking PeaceImages jewelry, contact peaceimages@gmail.com for more info.

the Fall line is scheduled to drop the week of the 23rd. it's coming along beautifully ... i can't wait to spill the beans.

ya'll already know I have some fabulous customers.. they always give me kind words of love and support, and send me pics, constantly, showcasing how they rocked my art. i love and appreciate them all for this!!
i'll share a few of the newest joints i've received:




Safia reppin' for the Motherland and NY in my "mama" ring...


my muthafuckin Ace, Ree, in 1 single
looong, bushy red feather earring.



gorgeous Philece (an amazing painter and illustrator) in my 2 finger
butterfly chain ring, "mecca...."


Amina, a super talented jewelry designer, in my Agate Ring, and Nakimuli's dookie bracelets.




Trang, from Australia, chose to rock our version of the shoulder chains with an elegant black dress. i love the mix of soft and hard. she said she was inundated with compliments that night! i love when my customers' purchases from PI are validated :)



songbird hailing from STL by the name of Theresa Payne.. or Harmony :)
she reps my "mama..." ring beautifully.



my Parisian sister Laure, with her daughter Makeda, in my "Makeda"
chain glove.

how perfect is that?




xo xo.

Atlantic Stars...

i love this song
and i love Atlantic Starr.
goodness gracious!

station.

Jeremy took this photo of my set - up at a recent event...


good times :)

..and this photo is, by far, the best I've seen of my set-up.

i've since changed it; and I can't wait to show you the new one.

evolve.

these are some images that are having quite an effect on my work for this season...

f a a a a a l l ... +updates

peace fam :)

sorry i've been janky with the updates.

i spent 5 straight days in the lab catching up on orders.
i think i sent out some 57 packages last week, alone.

i took a lil mini-vacation, and used up the last 2 days at my parents' time share over the weekend.








i have just as many orders to send this week + working on Fall
since i'm heading to ATL the week after next week.

i'll try hard to keep up on updates. i promise.

i added a couple new "peaces" to the lineup .. check it





i wrapped my "Giza" earrings in a brighter fabric.



these are 1 of a kind.. huge shells on vintage clips, w/ brass ankhs.
the clips allow for the weight of the shells, without the strain on your earlobe.



a custom order for a good friend in Australia!



my "mama" rings now have heart cut-outs



the above necklace is a sneak peek into my Fall line. it'll be dropping the 3 rd week in August.
YAY!



some of gorgeous recycled leather in this shoe box will be used on a few of the pieces this season :)


peace and love.
hope ya'll did something to make you happy today.

xo.
