Creating the Crystallized Chevron iPhone Case

June 26, 2013

For as long as I remember, I have had a fascination with Swarovski Crystals. I am a girl in love with all things that sparkle, so it is only natural for all of my accessories to be crystallized, starting with my iPhone. I recently designed the Sunburst Chevron iPhone Case, created with Rose, Fuchsia, Citrine, Aquamarine, and AB crystals, organized into a chevron pattern. It takes many hours for me to crystallize these iPhone cases however in this video, you will get a quick, behind the scenes look at the creation of my crystallized masterpiece. The Sunburst Chevron iPhone Case can be purchased in our online shop.

Baublebar’s Swarovski DIY Event

June 19, 2013

Baublebar is one of my favorite accessory boutiques. It began as an online jewelry shop, but recently, Baublebar opened a pop up shop in Soho. This week, Baublebar had a fabulous DIY Swarovski event hosted by Grace Atwood from Stripes and Sequins. During the event, I purchased the Emerald Iced Bracelet, and was given a small, jewelry box to embellish with Swarovski crystals. I have a love for anything that sparkles, so you can imagine my excitement when I was able to crystallize my own jewelry box.

Soho is one of my favorite shopping destinations in New York City. It has a great combination of designer stores and lovely boutiques. There are charming coffee shops and trendy restaurants around every corner, if you need a break from your retail therapy. My shopping trip to Soho was the perfect opportunity to wear my new Yumi Kim, Hawaiian print romper, which I found at Wink NYC, one my favorite boutiques in the city. I love all of Yumi Kim’s styles, but above all, I adore her gorgeous, vibrant prints.

On a sunny afternoon, I decided to take a walk through the East Village. The East Village has a quirky mix of qualities. You’ll find walls of graffiti, vintage shops, dive bars, as well some of New York’s swankiest restaurants. The East Village is where the hipster meets the trend setter. I love this about New York City. I find a different adventure in every neighborhood.
