JUST SO PRETTY
If you've been following my blog and line since the beginning, you probably understand my love for brilliant, unique crystals paired and with mod chains. I find that pairing my chains with the perfect sparkly stones make my designs effortless and so easy for anyone and to wear! Its so fun to pile on and layer any of the pieces to create your own unique and pretty, yet edgy look!
I hope you love my latest additions!

I love these Balms so far... but haven't tried the glosses yet.
Snapshot of my nails, arm candy and girly accessories at the office today.
I've been wanting to try the SKII line but because it is so pricey I waited as long as I could until I recently caved... I have been using a line from Face Shop (Purple Bottles) and was surprised how much I liked it. I really did notice a good change in my skin, mostly its radiance (I have been using it in conjunction with my ROC day and night face cream). The only reason Im giving the expensive SKII line a try is because too many of my friends swear by it and I found a pretty great deal at a mall in K Town so I took the plunge... 10 free SKII masks with the purchase!
I am currently very happy with the overall quality of my skin but I suppose it can always be better! I hope the SKII line truly wows me!
Do you use SKII? What is/ was your experience with it? If you use the line, do you like the products I chose? Do you recommend any other products from the line?

DECONSTRUCTED
Lately I have been completely confused and caught off guard by the weather in LA. Cold, wet mornings and hot, muggy afternoons. Im still mixing my fall and winter with my spring and summer pieces so not to either freeze or die of heat. I love my new Helmut Lang sweater I found for a great price, though this is the first time Ive worn it. I may have gotten it a bit too big... But layered with a jacket, it's hard to tell. I recently deconstructed my Zara utility jacket from last year by removing all the bling that was sewn on the chest pocket flap. Sometimes all the little gems and sequins seemed a bit too overwhelming. I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far!

| New iridescent cocktail glasses and a pink ombre decanter I found at a flea market today. Im always looking for unique, vintage pieces to refresh my bar cart! |
Im just so, so happy. On Thursday night my boyfriend quietly proposed to me in a romantic garden setting restaurant with chandeliers and flickering twinkle lights surrounding us. Its all so exciting, especially because he's such a genuinely nice and caring person who is very patient and relaxed. Im not usually the mushy type (well maybe when it comes to Bao hehe) but I just feel so blessed to have found him.
I wasn't completely sure if I should share so quickly, but when I posted the news on Instagram I was overwhelmed by the well wishes and sweet comments everyone posted. Its so funny because even though I haven't met so many of you I feel as if we're best friends.

HOOKEY
Its important to me to constantly feel inspired and excited. On days that Im not in the workspace making jewelry to fill orders or designing new pieces, I like to work from home. Oftentimes Im inspired by my loft and the things around me. Its easy and sometimes too tempting to throw on a comfy track suit and work at my desk all day, but I find that getting dressed and setting up my work for the day somewhere else in my loft makes me work more efficiently. I love to clear my dining room table and neatly spread out all the work that needs to be done, or work from my den area on my comfy couch. I light candles, turn on a playlist, open the windows and almost aways have an iced coffee.
Many of us don't have the luxury of working from home, and at one point in my life I worked in the corporate world. I always found new ways to keep that excitement and freshness I love so much. Whether it was wearing new accessories, bringing in a flower for my desk, using pretty stationary, reorganizing, or changing the color template on my computer monitor....
Its the little things!
