Photo taken by my friend Jamie Liles, who recently moved to NYC after getting her Masters in Photography. Super awesome sweet girl. Man, I know a lot of talented photographers.

The snow has been insane in NYC!! Its supposed to snow like crazy tonight. Good thing I just stocked up on my groceries today to prepare. Here are some photos from the last blizzard we had from my apartment. I stayed at home all day with my cat. Hah!





So a few new things that I have for your viewing pleasure:

Valentines Day Exclusive Rose Gold Rings! How lovely and appropriate :D






New cube earrings. Personal favorite. Comes in 2 different styles, and I like it when it is mismatched. Currently posted on my site only in silver, but I will have it in gold very soon.









All these new pieces are currently available on my ETSY STORE.

Snap back to reality. Back to New York City.

Back in the city. My trip home was pretty hectic. Since it was half business (well, maybe 75% business) that I was only able to go to the beach twice! :(

However, my friend Roger took me on an "booze cruise" which was pretty fun. You basically pay $35 to go sailing on this boat and it is all you can drink Mai Tais and beers. Pretty awesome, I gotta say.

Here are some photos:






I started to help my friend with her Vintage Etsy Store recently. I am helping her with her shoes and accessories (including jewelry) department. We have A LOT of cute things, and I am tempted to keep some of these items myself. Here are a few of my favorites:

This adorable vintage coral ruffle dress:




I also love this
70s gold accordian necklace. An awesome piece to wear on a girls night out:


These vintage YSL eye glasses. For a vintage pair of eyeglasses, they are in excellent condition:




Hurry! A lot of things are being sold, and they're all one-of-a-kind pieces. Go to candyLULU Vintage Shop!

I received this as a gift from my dear friend Terumi that runs kawaiifriendscafe:



I use it to put my little earrings and findings in it. She makes everything from scratch, isn't it adorable?

New Year, New life, NEW YORK CITY!

So I am finally in NYC!!!!

I followed my dreams and I am currently a student at Fashion Institute of Technology studying Jewelry Design. I'm graduating in May and hopefully become a full-fledged Jewelry Designer!

I recently made a few pieces for my "iam." jewelry line.

bar pendant. great for layering with other necklaces. $35:



These are sterling silver, and I have size 6,7,8. They run one size small, because it is a square shape. $55.
