What's on the Web...

Lately, we've seen Mimi & Lu popping up on blogs and websites from San Diego to Canada! Here are a few of the mentions you can check out!


 
Pretty Shiny Sparkly- Fashion Blogger's "What's in my purse?" episode. (Perhaps some Mimi & Lu?) See the video here or in the previous mm&l blog post.


Mental Detritus- I'm pretty flattered that this Canadian blogger considers her Mimi & Lu necklace her favorite. Thank you, that makes my day.

Resonate.Local- This local San Diego blogger reviews the This local San Diego blogger reviews the Vocabulary Boutique holiday event Mimi and Lu was a part of. It was a great evening and I enjoyed getting to know her too. (PS. check out her beautiful pics of the evening!)

See you around the web!

Pretty Shiny Sparkly - The Emma Ring

Sometimes we compromise comfort or practicality for fashion and design.  We love a design so much that while it might not be the most practical piece, we can't part with the design.  But who says you can't have the best of both worlds?
The Saffron Ring is a great piece with a look all it's own, however, for some gals with 'on the go' lives, free hanging charm rings just aren't practical for all day wear. Insert Pretty Shiny Sparkly. Style blogger, Kristina Medhus loved the Saffron Ring, but presented me with a vision on making a more wearable version. With her vision in mind, I went back to the design process and began to rework the style. After a week of collaboration, we emerged with brand new style- the Emma Ring.  Featured on her outfit post, "Pretty in Pink Pleats', the Emma Ring is wearable and durable yet still carries that delicate and intricate essence of the Saffron Ring.  
I love that custom work and collaborations get me as a designer to think about a piece in a new way or in a way I hadn't previously considered. The Emma Ring (co-designed with Pretty Shiny Sparkly and named after Kristina's adorable cat!) is a limited edition piece currently available on our website.  Take a peek- I think you will find it as special as we do.
