IJL London 2012

Hi'yall..it's been a while but I have been a busy bee. Just a week ago we were in London exhibiting at the International Jewellery London Show. It's a spectacular show that focuses on jewellery only. From diamonds to fine semi precious stones, homegrown UK designers and extraordinary and exotic designs both costume and real from all corners of the world.

We showcased our Fall Winter 2012/13 collections at IJL..I must admit it can be a confusing time of year. At home we are launching our Spring Summer 2012 collections and simultaneously designing and preparing for the European swing into Winter's trends. It's no wonder we are a bit upside down from time to time.

Herewith are some of the storyboards that I created combined with Marzipan's key pieces in the Winter collection.


Of course getting a chance to do some shopping in London is always a girl's sweet tooth, especially this girl. I was happy to find that lots of the women over there were sporting beautiful red lips, I am a firm believer in red lispstick regardless of the boyfriends point of view. And so..always in search of another perfect red I asked a customer I met on the show who had blazing red lips where she bought her red from. It was simply the Boots No 7 red..and it was called Glam! Ha..half of our collectin is called Glam..fate! I found the red Glam, bought stocks and strongly recommend it any red lipstick lover..
