Holst + Lee + Updates from ME!

When I see a piece of jewelry (or, even better, an entire collection!) that would look just as appropriate on a tribal leader in the jungles of africa as it would paired with designer duds on a fashion savvy hipster in NYC, i'm hooked. That being said, I'm really really really really REALLY excited about Holst + Lee.  The seriously inspired jewelry is the vision of designers Rochelle Lee and Natalie Holst, and has been featured in Vogue, Dailycandy, and Nylon to name a few.  At first glance, it is allll the things i love to love in a jewelry brand: unprecedented style mash-ups, funky textures, BRIGHT colors, interesting shapes, and a general "BAM" feeling when you see it.  These are pics from the collection, check it out at their website





These next ones are all available at Shopbop, and i'm obsessed with these color block bracelets!  I especially love that chunky geometric hardware with the brand's name on either side. Stylin'





Omg this is soooo interesting i could literally look at it for hours.



So, this type of jewelry definitely bridges the gap between accessory and artwork, but it is perfectly fashion forward and wearable at the same time!  The duo did an exclusive Q&A for shop bop, and it's clear that their design concept is really creative and artful.  When asked about working with found objects, they said:
 "We both had boxes and boxes full of things we had collected over the years. One day we decided to take everything we had—beads, ropes, brooches, fabric, you name it—and dumped it on a big table and literally dove in and started creating."
Talk about fun! I love how inventive  they are, and with a possible clothing line in the future they are definitely a pair for the fashion industry to keep their eye on :)






But, anyways.... more about ME!
In other major news that's sure to shock the entire world of fashion- MiaMocha has added some new neon goodies to her trove on etsy.  Better get yours now before these extremely coveted looks are all snatched up!


Love Ya!

Keep On Neon

Neon- i'm convinced it never goes out of style, correct me if i'm really off.  Anyways, i've been running a bright fluorescent spray paint experiment in my garage for the past couple days, and it's spurred an all-out neon obsession.  This is a combo of neon explosion and my favorite easy finds this week. here we go:

Blam! this flashy piece is eye-catching! dangly pearls, bright beautiful turquoise teardrop wire wrapped in the center and check out that killer hot pink rope. available at zurdokero but probably not for too long....
i really haven't seen anything much like these before! They're made our of leather, fringed to look just like feathers, and painted (in a one of a kind manner, might i add) in neon pinks, yellows and more.  found at love sexton.
Holy pink barbie, this color block light on hot pink necklace is a great find. It's my absolute favorite color combo, and this spiky statement necklace adds a whole new element of danger to the girly duo. Thank you Tessyla!
Good morning sunshine! These beaded, fringy, native american inspired earrings could not be a brighter yellow.  Perfect to top off a neutral or otherwise colorless outfit.  From shop name ziguidi.
Simple, understated, and bright as hell.  This super green wrap bracelet has a cool brass colored rectangle charm in its center.  Mercimarket.
BAM this monstrous beaded statement neckless is yum.  Huge beads, pink and bright orange (my number two favorite color combo).  This is at NobleHouseDesigns, which has so many neon goodies, it was hard to pick which to post :)
Um HI this neon yellow bracelet, made of crystal chain wrapped in super bright cord.  It's pretty and easy to wear but definitely refuses to be ignored! Found at brooklyn*stars.
If you have an etsy, and like neon, you're probably as in love with nutcasefashion as I am.  But if not, check out this beautiful neon necklace with funky, geometric features and multicolor chains hanging off of it.  Obsessed with chunky neon!!

Let's Bangle

Too lazy to get dressed and tame your afro in the morning before class? me too. So chunky, distracting arm jewelry is my way to say "hey, i'm not homeless, this look is intentional, i'm fashionable."

five hot bracelets that pack a punch:

gold textured bangle at Nordstrom
Vanessa Mooney Poppystar bracelet.. not a bangle, but still jingles like a pro

Printed Enamel Hermes in orange and black (so many cool designs)

Forever 21 Lacquered Bracelet
a motto of mine. Kate Spade at Nordstrom



YUM



Who am I?

I think Jimi Hendrix is my father, i hate not living on an island, and i love things that are too expensive to be practical. Oh, and I'm also a jewelry designer and college student. Check out my designs at http://www.etsy.com/shop/MiaMocha
