Dolores wearing one of her own necklace designs

A few weeks ago Dolores Forsythe threw me a wonderful book signing event at her jewelry boutique in Coronado. Dolores was such an incredible host and it was great to meet so many new people and catch up with some of my childhood friends. Dolores’ shop is literally a hidden gem on the beautiful island of Coronado. If you are in the San Diego make sure to stop in and say hello for me!

Ilona’s Eyelash Cabaret

My dear friend Ilona Royce Smithkin never ceases to amaze me. She is 93-years-old and has more energy and zest for life than most people half her age. Ilona has been performing her cabaret act all around town and is planning some exciting new shows. If you have never had the chance to see her performance in person, check out the wonderful video below.

Suzi Click and The Power of Print Mixing

I have been mixing prints ever since I was a little kid. It’s always fun to get up in the morning and play with items of clothing that usually wouldn’t go together and then finding the harmony and balance in colors and patterns. Artist and designer Suzi Click is definitely a master at mixing prints.  You can’t help but smile at her awesome assemblage of colors and textures. To check out some of her inspiring work CLICK HERE.
