Black & Gold

I feel like the seasons of my life could be simply defined in color schemes.

October and November were heavy with thick knits, white, silver, and all that glitters. December has begun and my heart is shifting its spectrum to black and gold (and still, all that glitters).

I am now officially 19 as of December 3rd, and am in full swing creatively being inspired by these new beginnings.

Jewelry is suddenly a huge part of my life, from designing it and creating it, to finding pieces from around the world to cherish and wear. I've been going through a style evolution, heavily influenced by these color schemes that my heart seems to get so hung up on. It's leading me in a more modern direction, using new kind of chain, metal tubes, and incredible semi-precious stones.

There's something exceptionally calming about doing your work in front of a warm fireplace. It definitely lowers your stress level to see the idea of 'winter comfort' right before your eyes and keeping you cozy as you craft or type or write. 

There are a few things in life I absolutely love. Bunnies, the Netherlands, and sparkly things. Currently I am not in a situation where I can own a bunny, and I am not in the Netherlands, so... you can all guess what my bedroom, art studio, and wardrobe looks like right now (Hint: tinsel was on sale at Joann's).

The 2 Bandits

Every room in my house will have at least one chandelier. I am determined.

Another new (actually, old) hobby I've managed to fit into my life again is fashion design. Perhaps I'll share my sketches on here with you all soon. Until then, I am in some serious need of chiffon, leather, and shiny beads!

Hope everyone is keeping cozy as winter rolls in. Don't forget to take a peek at my Etsy for stocking stuffers and presents, home decor, jewelry, vintage dresses, and super soft handmade scarves! Happy Winter!
