Boho In No-po
Ok so this outfit seems to be tribal Boho with a vintage sprinkling. When I was planing this style I wasn’t sure if I wanted to wear boots in the summer, but they really are perfect with this ensemble. I have seen girls wear boots year round and I thought it was cute on them, but not on me. Well this is a fashion mental block I have worked through and checked off my to wear list.
The skirt and tank were purchased from Charlotte Russe. www.charlotterusse.com
The boots are Farylrobin. Purchased at Ped-x Shoes. www.pedxshoes.com
The necklace was handmade in Mexico.
The vintage brass chain headband is a Special Portland piece. Similar pieces $30.00.
The Swarovski Crystal ring is a Special Portland piece. Similar pieces $60.00.
The brass, silver and leather bracelet is a Special Portland piece. Similar pieces $40.00.
The woven hand bag was a Goodwill find.
The sunglasses are vintage 80’s.
I hope you will be inspired to put together your own thrifty looks.
Live. Love. Remember.

Undertow Sets Sail
The boys at Undertow and I did a jewelry collaboration for their June 4th art opening. Ryan lasered some Ohb octopus charms out of wood and I went to town making necklaces, pins, earrings and all things Ohb. They also made a 4 pack of acrylic character rings. The Wave, Toy Hippo, Whalington and Ohb. It was so fun I can’t wait to do it again!

Lets Here It For Turquoise
This necklace is laden with large round turquoise baubles, faceted crystals beads and aqua glass drops. It clusters just over 3 inches long and hangs from vintage steel chain. This is a stop and stare stunner. Turquoise gives the wearer the feeling of unconditional love and familial love.

Metal Staples
This recycled metal style is my signature. The brass color is so warm and reminiscent of the sun; they really pop on the body. I have sold this series to so many people who have different styles, but these always work no matter what. Don’t be without this must have staple.

I Got The Quartz Blues
Blue chalcedony quartz has to be one of my favorite stones. It has such a pretty periwinkle tone. I use it all the time. This earring and bracelet set is fun and playful. They are ready to be worn by a true free spirit. Chalcedony absorbs negative feelings and promotes kindness, generosity, and charity. You may know someone who needs a dose of this stone.
Live. Love. Remember.
