Festival Wears

I just mailed these select styles to Purr Kensington in Calgary on Friday. You can find them there hopefully by the end of the week (this Canada Post strike, is KILLING ME!) along with a huge order of feather earrings to gear up for your summer of music festivals & flowing skirts!

Cobwebbing

I've been toying with the idea of cobwebs these days. Perhaps it's my new Big City surroundings, but I am inspired even more by nature and it's imperfections.  My cousin, Samantha, just turned 18 and is having her Grade 12 graduation this month so I played with my ideas of the cobweb and created this little ditty for her to sport with her "grapefruit pink" strapless silk dress to grad. Sammy has always had very similar aesthetics to myself, so I hope she loves it as much as I do! I used a very dainty "s chain" (which captures light in the most beautiful way) and webbed off the sections by hand tying the smallest Swarovski crystals onto the chain. My vision was capture the way a spider's web looks sparkling with dew in the mornings - a sight I would marvel at as a child out at my cottage in the Northern Alberta.


I haven't completely decided if this is a style I would recreate, it was insanely time consuming - but then again, most jewelry is the first time around. I hope you love it, Looly, it's a special necklace for a special girl! xoxox

Musically Inclined

Music is a big part of my creative process. If I need to make some serious jewels, I need some seriously fun music. If I need to make some serious new styles, I need some seriously mellow music. 
Now, everyone gets bored of their own library - so this little site has become a new buddy to me. It's called 8 Tracks and it's dope! What started as me just listening to other people's mixes and finding new tunes to jewel to, has now developed into a whole new world where I too make mixes to educate the masses on my seemingly AMAZING tastes (who knew?). Anyway, go forth friends - you'll thank me! 

Go ahead, you can even follow me! 

Currently, this is my newest obsession; 

AUSTRA!

Insta!

 


It's no surprise Im not the most dedicated blogger, however I am the most dedicated Instagram-er. I guess it's just an easier method of getting images out there, not to mention it's much more fun with all those great filters. 

Anyway, FOLLOW ME if you want the most up to date M I L L I C E NT photos (you may be inundated with pictures of general life pictures as well ... Not that you mind, right? My life is soooo interesting, right?)

MAILED IT!





I sent this huge package to Purr Scotia Centre over a week ago. It's packed full of earrings & necklaces, so providing this Canada Post Strike doesn't completely ruin it, they should be in store for all you Calgarians sometime this week! Fingers Crossed!
