Styling: Boho Chic

I've been having some fun playing with different fashion styles on Polyvore this weekend and want to share some of the different looks with you. Polyvore is a great place to find fashion inspiration and to play with different fashion looks without having to go anywhere! You just need to be creative and have fun with their different design tools.

The first look I want to share is Boho Chic inspired. I was thinking Modern Hippie when I put this together and it's actually an outfit that I wear myself. I have layered a few pieces from some of my favorite deisgners Gypsy 05 and 7 For All Mankind to create a fun and casual outfit that is easy to wear on the weekends and days off.

Modern Hippie Chic

In this Polyvore post the following Brooklyn Designs jewels have been featured:

1. Silver Branch Earrings

2. Long Tree Of Life Sterling Necklace

3. Pearl Chalcedony & Pavé Swarovski Sterling Bracelet 

4. Swarovski Crystal & Black Onyx Pavé Sterling Bracelet

Celebrity Style: Rosary & Tusk Necklaces

We've had lots of fun with our Fall 2012 Collection and always try to stay on trend by designing modern but classic pieces. One current trend that we're loving are Tusk (otherwise known as Horn) Pendants. We designed a gorgeous long Tusk Charm Necklace for our Spring 2012 Collection and have recently introduced our Hammered Gold Tusk Necklace for Fall 2012. We've been seeing some of our favorite celebrities wearing their own Tusk Necklaces lately and two of our favorites are Gwyneth Paltrow and Jessica Alba. Gwyneth and Jessica have an incredible sense of style and always look amazing.

Another trend we're loving are Rosary Style Necklaces. These are classic pieces that always look stylish and are great for layering too. We recently saw actress Amber Heard wearing a simple Rosary Style Necklace and we have our own version that is a great look as well. We've incorporated a sparkling Pavé Crystal center bead and a gorgeous large Clear Swarovski Crystal Pendant with Sterling Silver chain to create this amazing and easy to wear necklace.

The Secret Circle

Sometimes in life you are given opportunities and they can be incredible gifts. Last year I was given an awesome opportunity to meet with the costume designer for The Secret Circle and she loved my jewelry and used it for the show! I watched every episode in a way that I never had watched t.v. before. It was such a thrill to see my creations worn a major American network show and my jewels were on nearly every episode too. I started watching The Vampire Diaries as well and found myself hooked on these two fantasy genre shows. The Secret Circle was getting better and better with every episode and the witchcraft and characters were played so well. It was such a disappointment to find out that the network had cancelled the series and wasn't bringing it back for a second season. The season (series) finale was SOOO good, the story lines that could have continued in to the second season were going to be great to watch. I am still crossing my fingers that another network will pick it up for a second season.

It was so great for me to have had such an incredible opportunity and I will never forget it. The Secret Circle will be a fabulous memory for me in my jewelry career. Here are some of the pieces that were worn on the show.
