Here, Gabby is wearing a 1950s cream, silver, and turquoise patio dress, a style popular throughout the Southwest during the era, often worn for casual hosting, entertaining, or square dancing. Made from lightweight crinkle cotton and detailed with metallic rickrack and ribbon trim, the dress feels both playful and elegant. Paired with turquoise jewelry, it becomes a reminder of how much accessories can shape a look. Turquoise has remained timeless for generations for a reason. It brings warmth, texture, and personality, whether styled with vintage pieces or everyday staples.

In this look, Alana wears a handmade 1970s Edwardian Revival net lace gown, likely once worn as a wedding dress. The gown features a Victorian-inspired prairie lace bib collar with satin ribbon ties, a softly draped bias-cut silhouette crafted from delicate nylon-cotton lace, and a handkerchief hem that falls at the ankles.

More than just clothing, this look is an expression of individuality, confidence, and creativity. Every detail was chosen with intention, not to follow rules, but to reflect what feels authentic and personal. Because personal style is less about trends and more about wearing what feels true to you.

Chelsea wears a hand-formed circle choker, Year of the Horse drop earrings, and stacked bronze organic rings with a black 1930s silk chiffon bias-cut slip dress trimmed in lace. The bias cut lets the delicate chiffon fall effortlessly, creating the timeless silhouette the era is known for.

In a world of fast fashion, vintage offers another way, choosing pieces with history, character, and longevity. Building a wardrobe slowly and intentionally creates personal style that lasts beyond trends.

Wear less, choose well, and make it last.

This summer, we’re telling stories one outfit at a time.

We’ve teamed up with on a 6-part series celebrating timeless style, individuality, and getting dressed with intention. In this look, wears a 1950s cream lace lingerie bodysuit paired with 1970s pink and white plaid cotton wide-leg trousers, vintage black Dan Post cowboy boots, and a carousel horse brooch at the waist.

Each outfit brings together vintage pieces with my handmade jewelry, created from stones I’ve gathered over the years. This set features Royston Turquoise I found in Santa Fe, New Mexico—each piece holding its own sense of place and story.

Accessories tell the story. Sometimes it’s not the outfit- it’s what you add to it.
A ring you never take off. A scarf tied without thinking. A necklace you reach for again and again— a small keepsake that holds meaning close. Small things carry weight. They hold memory and a mood.

If getting dressed feels overwhelming, start there. Add one thing that feels personal. Then another.
Let the details speak— and let what you wear carry what matters.

So excited to share that I’ll be at .botanic Spring Showcase, this weekend!

I’m thrilled to be alongside talented local artists and Botanic’s incredible rug vendor from Scott’s Antique Market-bringing together a beautiful mix of texture and color to complement thoughtfully sourced home goods.

Inspired by layering—especially rugs and rich textiles—I’ve designed a limited collection of gems meant to be styled, stacked, and layered, helping you express your individuality through creative styling.

I’m going to be there 11-5 on Saturday. Come play, explore, and express yourself through color, texture, and spring energy.

A custom piece, guided by conversation.

I wanted to share a quieter shift happening here. As metal markets continue to shift—and my desire to create more intentionally deepens—I’m introducing a new way for us to work together: A Custom Design Experience.

This is a slower, more meaningful process where each piece is designed collaboratively and spoken for before it’s ever made. It allows me to source materials with care, honor the true value of the work, and create jewelry that carries your story from the very beginning.

Thank you for being here and growing with me!

I make jewelry because creating is a part of who I am — it’s how I feel most connected to myself and the world around me. Working with materials, exploring color and texture, and following curiosity allows each piece to become something meaningful and alive. My hope is that what I create helps others connect to something larger than themselves, leaving space for a little bit of magic.
