Aloha Spirit - Summer Preview 2016



The bright coconut white of a Hawaiian classic provides a milky backdrop for my Summer 2016 collection preview. With the same cool, calm and collected charisma as the Big Island, an easygoing color palette of peacock greens, limoncello yellow, rustic clay browns and hints of plumeria purple comprise the base elements of the collection. Hawaiian pearls, natural agate, capiz shell and faceted jewels merge to combine a mostly-earthen mix, mimicking the materials you'd find at any roadside rock shop. A dainty hand was key in a majority of the pieces - teensy labradorite teardrops hang from faceted sterling chain, and hand-applied metallic mandalas stay true to the magic of the tropics. Gilded gemstones sparkle and shine with each and every golden fleck. Beaded rosary-style chain sways and moves like the straw skirts of a luau dancer.

Sit back, grab a pina colada and listen to the ukulele.
