introducing: the natalie necklace!

I am really excited to launch the natalie necklace! I have always wanted to make a necklace that combined neon and sparkle {my two great loves}. over memorial day weekend I chatted about my ideas with my good friend natalie and she encouraged me to go for it. natalie helped me with colors and testing out the construction {I always wear the samples of my designs around to make sure there are no construction problems--its a touch part of the job :) }. 

the natalie necklace comes in silver and neon blue; gold and neon lime; and pink and gunmetal.

we went to one of my favorite west village spots, sweet revenge. at sweet revenge, you can pick from a delicious selection of cupcakes and pair them with wine or beer. we went on a warm sunday afternoon and chose the malaysian coconut cupcake and paired it with santa rita chardonnay from chile. it was a sweet and refreshing combination.

get excited for our next adventure!
