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!

Wedding Shoe Dilemma

Ok guys I am feeling a bit overwhelmed when it comes to committing to my wedding shoes. I am looking to you, my lovely readers, for some advice. Below you will see nine very different shoes, I am not going to tell you the price or brand and I want you to vote!

 Let me tell you a bit about the day & dress. We are getting married in St. Maarten on the beach so I wont be wearing these for the ceremony. They are going to be worn for the dinner after & the club; where they will get to experience a full night of dancing. Keep in mind we are on an island therefore the paths aren't all paved & it is not the easiest place to walk around on. My dress is very hippie like with a lace back, a-line cut, and lightweight fabric. It is vintage from the 1960's. It is no surprise that I love color & edge when it comes to my accessories so I NEED your help. Leave a comment below and vote for your favorite shoe for my big day!

Let the voting begin, Thank you!
