Particuarly loving these edward sharpe songs right now Before I really knew how to make jewelry, I… didn’t! I think I thought fine jewelry was made by little elves. Here are some of my favorite and most necessary and useful tools in my studio! Stay tuned for a later blog post on how I use these tools! Wax carving tools and digital calipers for measuring Tweezers and holders of all kinds and eye and mouth protection with a flexible shaft machine Mandrels and soldering equipment Soldering station Inspiration board of photos from my travels Loupe for magnification Close up on loupe Files of all sorts Hammers Soldering accessories and apron. My african print apron is from Nest in San Francisco and one of my favorite things Torch Besides jewelry, one of my favorite accessories to put on before I leave the house is ALWAYS a scarf. Scarves are so versatile and are just a lovely addition to an outfit, not to mention a great gift! Here are some of my favorites for this season. And of course, all of these would look stunning with any of my pieces! Missoni Metallic Fringe Edged Scarf from www.luisaviaroma.

And last but not least this Lala Berlin scarf from Brownsfashion is so much fun! http://tinyurl.com/yzg4wnq Hi guys! Since we’ve just updated the website I figured it was definitely time to update the blog! And what I want to share with you is some of the things that make me happy and inspire me on a daily basis Vintage and exotic textiles. I am so inspired by textiles of all sorts! I love to translate textile themes to my jewelry. I love collecting them whenever I take a trip, and they make the most wonderful keepsakes and presents. My sister got me these gorgeous textiles on the right and made into pillows with this luxurious blue fabric I chose. Every time I look at one of these brightly colored textiles or scarfs they brighten my day!
My pup. My first dog (aside from my golden retriever jake, whom I had when I was growing up) Callie is a red miniature australian labradoodle. She is now 11 months old – to the day! oh my god! and is a bundle of energy and joy. She loves people more than any creature I have ever met and I have seen her bring so much happiness and joy to people’s lives with such limited interaction that I am amazed. She has soo much personality in her 17 pounds!
Raw Food esp. desserts I am a proud vegetarian and try to eat vegan and raw vegan as much as possible! Sometimes its more than others. But I absolutely LOVE raw desserts. I am a sucker for all of the amazing cookies from Pure Food and Wine, which I usually get shipped from One Lucky Duck — chocolate chip and gingersnap are insane. If I had these around everyday I wouldn’t ever eat non -raw desserts
Cameras for capturing every moment. I love photography and have since my first trip to Paris at age 10! My favorite two cameras of the moment are my Nikon D80 with a 105mm macro and a mini canon powershot. They both take lovely sharp photographs. The little canon is adorable and fits easily in a pocket or bag. Its really fun to be able to capture a great shot without having to carry my nikon on me at all times – but I adore the photos when I have my nikon on me
Fresh flower gardens – When I pass a home whose owner has spent the time to cultivate her garden (couldn’t resist the voltaire reference!) it really touches me. Bright well-tended and much loved flowers (esp. huge roses, gorgeous!) bring new life to city streets. I also love visiting all the flowers in Golden Gate Park – the below flowers were taken there and the flowers were so gorgeous and luscious in the afternoon light. Photos with my D80 and 105mm macro lens
Wood furniture. I take a lot of my photographs on reclaimed peroba wood from the amazon! The textures inspire me and I can’t wait to outfit my house and studio with more pieces!
Tea. I love tea. It helps me set the mood in the morning for whatever work I have to do, whether its creating designs, or manufacturing pieces or paperwork. I have a LOT of tea. Some of my favorites are rosebuds or pure peppermint, super simple ! I picked some rosebuds up a couple of years ago in hong kong and they are so great, just drop a few in hot water and add agave and its a great tisane! Rose flavored tea is wonderful as well, but this is a great late night alternative for me! I’m also a huge. huge. HUGE fan of mariage freres tea. When I lived in Paris I would go in there and walk out with pounds of tea. The most amazing flavors. My favorite is wedding imperial, with caramel and vanilla. New favorites are almond cookie rooibos from Sympathy from the Kettle, in one of my favorite neighborhoods, the East village, in NYC and blueberry rooibos from Rishi. I first tried this at Cafe Gratitude, the raw vegan restaurant in sf. Their almond milk blueberry rooibos latte is to die for! Especially for non milk drinkers
Current elliott jeans. These are the most comfortable jeans ever! They feel as though you could sleep in them. As soon as I found these jeans, a little over a year ago, I knew I’d be hooked! And I am
Music! I think music is an integral part of any creative process, at least it is for me! I am fortunate to live with a total aficionado and he has introduced me to some great artists. I love classic rock and can always create to CCR, The Band, Cat Stevens, but as of late I’ve been totally inspired by Passion Pitt, Dr. Dog, Beirut, Miike Snow and MGMT. I think what music you are listening to when you make art translates directly to what you make!
Healthy beauty products – I love socially and ethically responsible companies and Rose Marie Swift, a long time makeup artist has created a wonderful company RNM beauty with products I feel comfortable putting on my skin! http://www.rmsbeauty.com/ Lovely high end products that are also good for you, no more putting chemicals on my face! Image from RMS beauty.
Candles – another ingredient in creating my design ambiance is candles! I love to design when I have a nice clean apartment, nice light streaming through the windows, some great music playning and NANCY BOY CANDLES!! There are so many fun fancy candles out there, but I adore these. http://www.nancyboy.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=5_29&products_id=47 I first found them on hayes street in the charming hayes valley area of san francsico because everytime I walked by their tiny store I was overcome with the most amazing calming soothing scent that wafted into the dirty street. It was as though a spa was permeating the area! And once I finally figured out what it was, I’ve been hooked since! These are truly great. Lavender, rosemary and peppermint are natural and intoxicating! They help to turn my den into a sanctuary of sorts! Image from Nancy Boy. And last but not least, one of my favorite pieces from this collection! Gorgeous 14k teardrop bangles. These look amazing in stacks of 4 and can be combined in a bunch of different way.

Very few jeans have captured my heart like these. Jeans part of my daily uniform! A big change from my investment banking days. Nothing chicer than perfect jeans paired with ballet flats (I’m partial to seasons old metallic chanel) or boots (grey suede = perfection) and a fun jacket. Anyone interested in functional and cute clothing MUST check out the swacket from harputs market. I’ve worn it almost daily since buying it. Up next on my list are their tshirt dress and the three hole dress. Avant guard yet wearable. Truly wonderful san francisco style!!
