Must Have Monday- YSL Lips

Surprise surprise another Must Have Monday related to lipstick. But you all know by now how much I love bright lips.

Orange Shiver & Rose Paris

I ventured out of my NARS box & fell head over heels for YSL's Silky Sensual Radiant Lipstick. The bold color glides on smoothly with just one swipe, you heard right, one swipe. It tastes smells like a kiwi explosion on your lips. At $34.00 a pop you might be a bit hesitant, understandable. However, the long lasting color shines for hhhooouuurrrsss on end. No need to reapply! Perk, it also has SPF 15 in the formula. 

I wore Orange Shiver on my big day!

Feel Good Friday- Get Bold

 It is quite obvious I love-love-love color...the brighter, the bolder, the better! Here are some of my favorite ways to add a splash of color to your Friday {everyday}. 

Is your wardrobe full of grey & black? Spice it up with a fun colored top or bottom. If a bold tee is too much for you choose a bright colored bra and let it pop under an off the shoulder shirt. Bright colors don't have to be limited to just your wardrobe or accessories; try adding a pop of color in your home (bright cabinets, door, or furniture).  Like what you see here check out my Pinterest board Bright & Bold. 

Happy Friday everyone xoxo.

Spring alexa collection

I always get asked what influences my creations? Believe me when I say I am inspired by everything that surrounds me. I am notorious for snapping pictures, tearing pages out of magazines, & using design boards to help get the creative juices flowing. The alexa collection started with redesigning vintage jewelry & that hasn't changed. You will see hints of the Gilver Era (fall 2011 alexa collection) with the combination of gold & silver. In addition to my vintage chains, I am thrilled to be using stones found in and around the Fraser Valley (where I live). You will see fun pops of color with the variation in stones, leather, & string. I truly believe my collection is an extension of me! If I could describe it in words it would be: vintage.hippie-like.free-flowing.colorful.

I feel as though pictures can describe it better than words... I would love to share with you some of the inspiration behind the alexa collection spring 2012 line, Stone Age.

Check back tomorrow to catch a sneak peek of my newest pieces!
