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!

Old Hollywood

My jewelry has been in this store since I moseyed on through my Brooklyn neighbourhood and realized I lived 2 blocks away from a truly well curated wonder of a store, called Old Hollywood. Lucky for you folks, they have a great web shop too! So, although, you may not live blocks away (or even in the same country) you can enjoy a little piece of Old Hollywood here -> Clickity Click Click Click

As of right now I am preparing another big shipment to Purr in Calgary, specifically the Scotia Centre location. Keep your eyes peeled for some new styles I have been working on. I have a little dream to start up my Etsy store soon. I've been working really hard to get my jewelry to a place where I can be really proud of it.  My internship at Lee Angel has really helped me hone some much needed skills and get an idea of what's really available for me in the world of materials in this vast creative hub bub of New York City. I think my vision of what I want Millicent to be is slowly developing and I am really excited to show you all what I have been working on.

In the meantime, here's a little tease....

NETWORKING!

I just realized they call it "Networking" because it's a lot of work...
