Hoot Couture



Growing up in 70's, I was surrounded by my mother's obsession with owls. Our walls were filled with artwork from these nightly creatures and there were hundreds of statues placed on every surface of our home. My mother would never throw anything away. She always told me fashion repeats itself and she was right. 

In 2009, Marc Jacobs started the trend again with his Fall Collection of owl t-shirts and accessories. You could find celebrities everywhere wearing owl necklaces and rings. This fashion trend also made its way to home decor on pillows, wallpaper, and fabric.



Kate Spade also followed this trend with her accessory line. I adore this bag!



Fashion trends often take awhile to go from the runway to the average consumer. Jill Stuart is showing this trend in her Fall 2011 collection.




Michelle and I grew up together in the 70's. We were next door neighbors and best friends since we were 3 years old. Most of our jewelry collections are inspired from our childhood.  My mother had drawers full of costume jewelry that we would dive into and play. This is our collection of Hoot Couture! We would love to know what you think!

All the Best,
Jennifer

Bohemian Bliss


Now that I have returned to the low country of Savannah, Ga,  I am embracing my new life by returning to my bohemian roots. It's an unconventional lifestyle filled with rich beautiful colors.  My childhood idol was Stevie Nicks and I can relate best to these lyrics:

"So I'm back, to the velvet underground
Back to the floor, that I love
To a room with some lace and paper flowers
Back to the gypsy that I was"

I can still remember my mother shaking her head at her six year daughter as I dressed myself for school wearing my favorite pink velvet bell bottoms with green flower ribbon trim attached at the bottom and my purple butterfly shirt. I have always loved mixing color palettes and patterns. It has taken me years to get it right and I still miss the mark every once in awhile!

I believe this is what makes our jewelry line so unique and fun. Our jewelry is designed for the girl who doesn't take fashion or herself too seriously. It's for the girl who makes up her own rules and changes them whenever she feels like it. One of kind jewelry made for the individual.

All the best,
Jennifer
