pearls and crystals

I've been making lots of new jewelry out of vintage pieces and love

mixing in pearls for spring. I also found some vintage crystals from a

broken chandelier and made new necklaces mixing in chains.

I stopped by Topshop and admired some of their new jewelry

but am happy with my one-of-a kind creations.

I really like alternating between making clothes and jewelry.

Maybe it's that I have a very short attention span,

but I think one complements the other

since they are so different and yet both are

about lines, form and functionality.

Joan of Arc

My new white shirt style is inspired by Joan of Arc armor-
I took some of the styling details
and made it softer with side pockets.

Also just posted my spectacular fashion movie
featuring my white dresses for spring 2010!
