BROOKLYN BEATS: Studio Tunes

Music has always been a huge part of my life since day one.

It evokes feelings of joy, excitement, sadness and so much more!

Most imporantly, music motivates me and keeps me feeling creative and alive.

Put simply, I love music and can't imagine our world without it.

This is the start of a new blog series for us Brooklyn Designs ladies and we're super excited to share with you all of our favourites here!

I'm constantly on the lookout for new and exciting bands and songs to add to my playlist, and here are 5 of my favourites on repeat.

1. Brave Shores: Never Com Down

Can't get enough of this song! It's just plain fun. That's it, and I love it.

2. Grouplove: Ways To Go

Another fun song that I really love. This band is pretty awesome. You should definitely check out their music library and download some for yourself if you haven't already.

3. Son Little: The River

I randomly found Son Little on iTunes and I love his whole sound and raspy voice.

4.Van Damsel: Best of Everything

I love how this song starts, all of the guitar riffs and drum beats throughout 

are awesome. Definitely check these guys out.

5. Zerbin: World's On Fire

Another awesome song. Love the drum beats, guitar riffs and I want

 to dance in a fountain of Perisian Merlot too!

This is a taste of what's been playing in our studio lately. Look for more Brooklyn Beats posts with our favourite tunes. We also want to know what you're listening to! Leave us a comment with your favourite bands, songs or whatever you have on repeat lately too.

BROOKLYN STYLE: New Y Necklaces

 Rompers are a big fashion trend this season, and our dainty Y necklaces are the perfect accessory for this sexy Summer look.

This simple black romper from H&M is cute & very versatile. 

 Add a pair of strappy heels, moto jacket and our Danny Y necklace for an evening out with friends. Our Vega Y necklace would look boho chic paired with a patterned kimono & flat sandals.

When buying trendy pieces like a romper, or a maxi dress for the Spring and Summer months try to choose neutral colour tones and add accessories in different prints and colours to add versatility to extend your wardrobe.

I''ve watch The Vampire Diaries since the begining and love all of the vampy drama. 

Elena will be missed next season, and having her wear our necklace was an absolute thrill to see and such a surprise! You can shop our Illiana necklace online and in stores. We also offer this dramatic piece in other gemstones such as Chalcedony and Labradorite.
