So excited to be included in EKORA's Fall/Holiday 2010 catalog as a Featured Designer. This catalog mixes such a great variety of pieces I guarentee you'll find something you love. 

I'm loving the Owl Necklaces (page 6; $14) and the gorgeous Green Amethyst Ring (page 27;  $855) 

Take a peek! 

All you need is LOVE

Thrilled to be part of San Diego Magazine/Exquisite Weddings Bride Suite Blog last week.  Labeled a "fabulous find", Mimi & Lu's LoveScript necklace can be found at Vocabulary Boutique in Little Italy (a fabulous find in itself, if you've never been there!) or of course on our website. 

Love all the LOVE inspired products they featured....

Candles, keychains, cakes...what's not to LOVE?!

Ice Cream and SNL got me through it.

Thank god for ice cream and SNL.  Lately, my Saturday nights have consisted of hours in front of the computer, working on the website unil my eyes glaze over- and there's nothing like some sweets and laughs to keep you going.  It's finally updated and  NEW DESIGNS are available online. I'm also thrilled that the new Keepsake collection has launched.  Perfect for gifts and many pieces are under $50!!

Take a peek and let me know what you think!!

Photo fun

 I was so thrilled when I received these photos that I couldn't wait to share them with you! Thanks to Megan Guerrero Photography and our wonderful model, Joanna, the pics are amazing.  It was a fun shoot in Mission Hills, Pioneer Park and I can't wait to do it again. Here are just a few shots I love... some of brand new pieces and others of old favorites. Enjoy!

Moving Clips

I'm no stranger to moving- I moved 8 times before 8th grade. I moved across the country on a 'whim' at 22 and have moved into 4 different houses since being back on the west coast. Moving is a pain, yes, but there is always this exciting side of exploring your new space and creatively making that space your own. Some of my favorite snapshots of our new place (Although my ultimate favorite is the view of the city, the harbor and the planes landing.... those pics to come soon!)

Shake it off

I've been absent lately and haven't had a new post in some time. It's been a chaotic couple months and life got crazy (whose isn't?). After the dog bite incident (which is ongoing), we had to move (on short notice) & got hit by a car (please stop texting and driving, people!) I'm finally playing catch up and in between designing the new collection, working on updating the website and settling into our new home I'll suddenly think, "Did I brush my hair?" "What about my teeth?" "What's this stain on my shirt?" Sometimes I feel like this slobbery mess of a photo looks and ultimately, in the end, we just have to shake it off.

Um, Yum.

Sophie Ring- $42

I'm so in love with these little faceted glass charms that I want to EAT them! (ok, not really, but they ARE irresistable)

These precious charm rings are from the Sophie collection. Watch for the Sophie Necklace and Bracelet to debut in the near future. Working frantically to get these pieces posted on the website VERY SOON!!!

(Can't wait? Email me, and Ill set up a custom listing just for you.)
Um, did I mention their equally irresistable price??
$42!!
