Diva Rehab

I can't believe it's over! The fashion show was such a smashing success! I want to thank Blo salon for doing such an awesome job with the hair & makeup for my girls. They really understood my vision behind this collection...Think Amy Winehouse minus the crack head...lol!

The Vision: I knew this line had to be over the top & when I thought BIG I thought pearls & with pearls came thoughts of Divas. Since my jewelry is literally rehabbed vintage I thought Diva Rehab was fitting! & since we had Rehab in the Collection name....well...you can tell where this went right !?!

Yep...My girls went to Rehab :) Pearl "Martinis" in hand, smokes in their hair, smudged eye makeup & a diva attitude! My models rock {love love love them}!!!


The last Diva did manage to make to make it out of Rehab if you can't tell by how angelic she looks & all the crosses she's adorned with ;)


I am really soo happy with how everything turned out & how fantastic the show went! Thank you soo much to all the volunteers who put this show together & huge "THANK YOU" to Katie Little for making this all happen!


If you'd like to see more pics of the whole show visit my Facebook fan page & click on the article links! This is my favorite comment of the weekend from a certain romantic good girl regarding my collection (she cracks me up) ..."He was stunned by the models on the stage... the designs were spectacular.Then, she walked out -- the designer. The most talented & breathtaking woman he had ever seen. He was in love." Congrats on an amazing show Friday! The crowd definitely fell in love with your designs (as did the shoppers from what I hear)! ;) -K

Huge {hugs} to all my birds who came out to support me this weekend! I even sold several of the pieces from the show!! I am happy & exhausted & my heart is full :) I couldn't have asked for a more perfect weekend!

There are tons more photos to share & a recap of the bazaar from the weekend, plus I have 2 new Girl Crushes to share this week (you will all fall soo in love with them & their amazing designs!) ! But before all that...sleep! Hopefully I'll find snooze land soon...that has been alluding me!

Smoooches....

A Not So Rocky Start

Last week pretty much kicked my butt mentally & physically!!
Hmm...you may have been able to tell by the
onslaught of "Backstabbers" in the shop!
(ha-ha)


& the weekend brought a slew of "On The Rocks" necklaces
{le sigh}

But here it is Monday again & I am out of my funk
{fingers crossed}
& ready to take on this new week!!
Whoohooo!

~ Flowers for you this morning~

It is almost 9am & I have already accomplished tons
& (bonus) I slept like a baby last night :)

What do you birds have planned for this week?

I have a kick-off shindig for fashionSPARK
(check it out here if you're in Raleigh & want to meet up!)
If you're a fan of mine on Facebook you're already familiar with all craziness I went through last week trying to find music for the fashion show (which I did Friday night {phew}) & I finally got started on my collection for the show!!

Diva Rehab Collection: The beginnings....


I know...I'm such a tease!

I did finish the first piece & sketched out all my designs which I typically don't do!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

One last thing! I have a sale going on in my shop
http://goodgirlsstudio.com
(not my Etsy store!)
It started Friday as a celebration for finding my music but I decided to extend it until this Friday! Use coupon code: IMAGOODGIRL to receive 30% off your purchase!

You are the Bees Knees & I love love love that you stop by to visit!! Please do say hello :)

Fashionable Sparkiness

How in the world did it get to be Friday??

This week/month/summer is getting away from me! Remember this little blurb about how I had a secret & couldn't share it yet??? Well, I totally forgot all about it!!! This summer heat has been draining my brain apparently! Sooo...without further ado

.....I got accepted into the fashionSPARK fashion show this year as a designer! Whooohooo!


You might recall (from here) that last fall I participated by accessorizing Jamie Powell's amazing clothing line Revamp! This year however I am so honored to be on my own, similar to the reDress fashion show I was just in. I will have my own models & be dressing them & designing over the top couture baubles for them to wear!


The collection for this fashion show will be called Diva Rehab...because every diva needs a little rehabilitation, in the form of vintage jewelry of course ;)

Think larger than life chain bib necklaces that pretty much double as tops & an overload of costume pearl goodness! {squeal} I'm super excited about this & nervous as all get out at the same time! {yikes} The fashion show will be the kickoff for the Triangle Fashion Week which is new this year. If you're in Raleigh save the date...September 17th! The 18th I'll be selling the fresh off the runway looks at bazaarSPARK so come on out!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Hope you birds are staying cool in this heat! What have you been up to all week? I've been holed up in my studio making new jewelry for fab'rik in Cameron Village (stop by to check it out!) & now my shop is depleted! Back into the studio Monday morning & I should have a some new goodies in the shop Monday if I can get some more pics taken by then.

Check out this lovely going in the shop Monday...
