Our New Baby Brand Is Making Waves.....

2018-04-09T05:24:00.001-07:00

I have a lot of friends who have babies- which equals to a lot of baby hamper gifting! After a lot of research and hit and miss products I was bored of online shopping and decided to start my own line of organic unisex sleepwear for kids- with a purpose.

We really spent to lot of time and effort into making sure our line was both true to the organic name and custom designed for babies. Unlike other brands, we actually spin our own cotton to approve its organic nature and the super soft hand feel. We also teamed up with C.R.Y. Org. so a portion of each sale goes to helping under privileged children around the world.

Our PJ line is super soft for toddlers ranged 2 to 5 years. Designed with knee packing for extra cushioning in case they fall.

Our baby wear line has onesies, rompers and bibs and swaddles. Super soft and eco friendly.

You can explore your line at www.berylofmonkeys.com

My Latest Jewelery Collection!

2014-06-27T23:35:00.002-07:00

Adonis has grown in leaps and bounds, I would like to thank everyone for your inspirational pics and the love you guys send me every week. The collection was based on Grecian jewelery-meets- cosmic tribalism. The collection's inception was a picture of a vine reaching out to the sky and being pulled into what can almost be called a cosmic frenzy- Blame the 80's.

Anyway, after LOTS of research and designing, this is what we came up with! Ear wraps, earcuffs, Chandelier earrings, statement necklaces... and they were a huge hit! Adonis will be launching on ASOS Marketplace soon. In the mean time you can inbox me for payment and shipping details!

Love Letters From Japan- My Collection

2013-09-21T01:08:00.001-07:00

This collection was my baby for a long time. The sleepless nights and worrying over the details were quite a strain on me... so now my lovely readers you can see what the fuss was all about.

The collection is entitled Love Letters From Japan, inspired by Japanese culture and the geisha who exuded grace and poise. Using traditional silk fabrics, I used the modernist cuts and silhouettes to create a modern collection. Chiffon, silk taffeta and Japanese silk were used to give the collection a texture change and balance. Soon, more pictures will be put up and the collection will be for sale on an online store, till then hope you enjoyed these!

Behind the scenes of my collection

2013-09-09T10:29:00.001-07:00

It was early in the morning. My model was a stunner and my photographer was one of the best I've worked with. I just prayed it didn't rain as I had to travel to the other end of town with my collection. Luckily the odds were in my favour and it was a sunny day and the shoot was stellar. My thanks to everyone who made this happen the photos came out beautifully. But for now my lovely readers here is a sneak peak of my Japanese inspired collection photoshoot.

Links a La Mode - John Galliano Gets a Fashion Comeback

2013-02-14T18:13:00.000-08:00

In 2009, John Galliano the head of the House Of Dior shocked the world with his anti semitic statements praising Hilter and abusing Jews. Fired from Dior , it seemed that his amazing career was over in a flash. The God of fashion had fallen into an unknown abyss.

But now a life line has been thrown to him by Oscar De La Renta.

There are crimes against fashion and crimes against the fashion world, but he has been given a short-term placement at the studio of Oscar de la Renta in New York.

"I am grateful to Oscar beyond words for inviting me to spend time with him in the familiar surroundings of a design studio," the shamed designer said. "His support and faith in me is humbling."
De la Renta said: "John and I have known each other for many years and I am a great admirer of his talent. He has worked long and hard on his recovery and I am happy to give him the opportunity to re-immerse himself in the world … where he has been so creative."

This deal was brokered by the Head of US Vogue Anna Wintour. It comes as no surprise as it was she who discovered John and guided him into Dior's hands. It seems that the fashion industry really does give second chances.

DIY Ear Cuffs.

2012-08-23T05:40:00.003-07:00

The moment I saw Ear Cuffs I knew this was something I would totally wear/DIY. The style was right up my alley and when I saw them at Chanel, I was a goner.

Make sure you have very good glue and paper when you start. Cut out paper in the shape of your ear. start gluing the diamontes onto the cardboard. Make sure when you do this that the paper is flat. Use a strong glue. When your finished, take two (or three) ear clips and stick it at the back. Make sure you stick it with very strong glue. Of course, use good quality ear clamps. Finish with a chain and your done! If you want, You can ad more chains- the choice is yours. The finished result is eyecatching and totally spot on trend! Go on and bedazzle your ears!
