ohmygoshitsmai28thbirthday.

Happy birthday to me!




Hmmm...i always thought i would hate being in my late 20s...but i don't seem to mind it. Ask me in a month and see how I feel. HAH!

I had school on my birthday, so I couldn't really get to crazy with the dressing up (and its like 20 degrees outside) but here is my outfit:




boots: joie, h&m shorts, urban outfitters capelet, gap tights, all saints spinalfield scarf, helmut lang top, headband made by me, jewelry: iam. jewelry mixed with some vintage pieces.

As some of you may know, I am originally from Honolulu, Hawaii. I wish I could have seen my family during my birthday, but I did get a sweet phone call from my Mom and Dad while I was at my birthday dinner with my friends. I miss my mom so much that I bought this for myself as a birthday present:






Its a vintage leather bag from the 1940s, in mint condition. I love the detailing so much! Now I can have my mom by my side at all times :) I miss you Mommy!

I recently had a custom order for a pinky ring for one of my many homos back in Hawaii. He said he loved my double bar ring, but wanted something a little more subtle. It came out really cute, and I actually used a thicker rod and ring for him.:




Here I am, working hard in the studio:



I put it on, and it actually looks cute as a women's ring too!


My jewelry line purposely looks very unisex, and that's what I really love about it. It is so versatile, but you can still layer it with other jewelry pieces to make a real statement.

If you'd like a custom piece, you can message me or find me on my etsy store.
