Hi Everyone

So many people have been visiting this site and haven't seen activity last summer - did I go away? Of course not! I just focused on other blogs and have now decided to transition this site to me personally. First let's get up to speed on what has been going on. I am still the Editor of See Pretty Things which continues to focus on accessories and has been around for the past 18 months! Because of this, I went to Las Vegas to visit with designers and showrooms at Project, Accessories Show, Lingerie Show and more to create additional content for this blog. It was the first time that I had ever went to some of these shows and to the city and I had an AMAZING time.

I am also the Editor of a new blog The Kitten Lounge which is all about entertainment and style. I love sharing my information with all of you in this forum and to be able to include other fashion elements that I have not been able to in See Pretty Things. This site has been around since last fall and has definitely been generating a lot of buzz over the past few months.

I also became a contributing writer under the name Kitten Diva for Social Diva. This blog has been a lot of fun since we are writers that cover various locations: Miami, NY, Atlanta and LA. I love including events that people may not know about - it's like getting in on the inside. This has let me get in on a few trunk shows, fashion week (I did enjoy covering Vyctoria Hong's show - the former contestant of Season 4's Project Runway) and more.




In addition to blogging, I have definitely stepped it up in terms of my jewelry design and I am pleased to report that there are some positive things going on due to the success of Kitten Couture. It is because of this that I have returned to the Kitten Couture Blog as a means to share my experience as I work as a jewelry designer. I think it's a great way to share with you guys and to get feedback as well. So I look forward to hearing your feedback as well.

Finally, while I work on the Internet and Jewelry front, I continue to enjoy working my day job at Lacoste which is a lot of fun and is definitely teaching me more everyday about the business of fashion. I say all this to say that this site will be back up and running and you will enjoy hearing more about my line and just my personal thoughts while I encourage you to visit my other sites to find fashion specific information!

Kitten Couture: Lovely Lariats

As many of you know from this blog and my other blogs, I am the designer of Kitten Couture which is resort inspired lifestyle wear that is perfect to wear for a variety of occassions. This month I launched a new collection of lariats which I feel to be a way that each person can wear in an individual way. Whether you tie them or wrap them, it's unique to you and what you're wearing. I have included a sampling; however, feel free to visit my site to find more that you'll love.





The Erika Lariat is like the baby of my collection. I love the use of Carnelian that dominates this piece as well as the Mother of Pearl and Snail Shell as well. It's such a great piece that reminds me of elements of sunset and wears well whether you're in the summer or in the fall. It's great to have a classic piece that's perfect for all seasons.





Although all pieces that I create envoke a resort life, Ariel Lariat brings in the beach and everything that you can think of that goes with it. This turquoise piece with Botswana Agate and use of Mother of Pearl looks so nice with turquoise dresses or simple pieces like a white tank and a pair of jeans. It truly is a great look.





The Giselle Lariat is a perfect Spring and Fall piece that uses Citrine, Botswana Agate, Tiger Eye and other shells to present a neutral palate with slight pops of color. This piece works well with a variety of looks.





The Melanie Lariat is a great neutral piece that brings in cream and brown. I love that it incorporates Tiger Eye, polished wooden pieces, shell and other elements that make this a great piece to add to your outfit.
