November's Birthstone: Citrine

Hello My Lovelies,

I hope you have enjoyed your pre-Halloween festivities and show this year's trick-or-treaters a good time. November is right around corner so let me go ahead and introduce November's Birthstone. Citrine is the traditional birthstone of November and one of my favorite stones.

Thanks to Galleries.com

Special Fun Fact: Citrine is an alternate Zodiac stone for Scorpio and the gemstone gift for 13th and 17th anniversaries. Citrine is also associated with values of hope, cheerfulness, youth, health, and fidelity.

Expect to see November's Birthstone Necklace in the Etsy shop very soon!

Have a wonderful Hallow's Eve everyone!


 Blissfully,

P.S. You're Lovely

Fall is Here

Hello Lovelies.

I hope everyone has been enjoying life as summer has come to an end and Fall is finally here. A lot has been going on lately and I'm so sorry I've neglected the blog but I'm trying my best to whip into shape. So updates first....

Last month P.S. You're Lovely co-hosted an event called Paper & Pearls with Karee of Koby and Kylie Co., a lovely stationery company. The event was a hit and from it came an amazing development. HOUSTON Modern Luxury Magazine reached out and asked to do an article on me and some fellow young jewelry designers! At first, I thought is was going to be a small write up until I was asked to come in a do a photo shoot! Excited much?!?! Anyway the article will come out in November so it's almost here. You know I'll post something as soon as it comes out. Keep an eye out for me.

In other news... www.PSYoureLovely.com is now officially up and running. I wanted to make sure there was a wonderful site up in time for the publishing of the article and I'm happy with the final product...for now at least. I know my "photobug" and the simple ability to be able to change things I need to might mean the site always looks a little different but if that keeps you coming back to check it out then I think my plan is already working.

Lastly, I've got some great stocking-stuffers to take about because we all night December will be here before you know it. Allow me to introduce the Birthstone Necklaces; a simple collection of 16 inch necklaces adorned with 3 birthstone equivalent Swarovski Crystals at the center of each necklace. Look out for each month to be posted on Etsy very soon for your holiday needs or simple shoot me an email at any time. You can check out October's Necklace right now!

I think that's all for now but I hope you'll visit again soon!

 Blissfully,

P.S. You're Lovely

Something Blue

Hello My Lovelies,

I've been busy working on a large order for a wedding party and today is finally the day. The bride is my sorority sister and I created a necklace, bracelet and earrings for her and stunning earrings for her 10 lovely bridesmaids.

Pearls, Cobalt Blue Swarovski Crystals, and Crystal Swarovski Crystals for the Bride's collection.
Rhinestones and pearls for the bridesmaids. Look pretty good together, if I do say so myself!

 It was truly an honor to be asked to create this for her. She is a darling sister and friend and I wish her and her husband many years of happiness!

That's all for now. Happy Sunday, everyone!



 Blissfully,

P.S. You're Lovely

What a Year It Has Been

Hello Lovelies,

I can't believe it has been a year since I began this wonderful journey. Something that started as a craft I shared with my mother has become my passion and my business. In my first year P.S. You're Lovely has grown so much. Two Trunk Shows, two boutiques carry my line, and more support than I could ever imagine.

What I want to tell each and every one of you is to follow every dream you have. I've never wanted to live life with "what if's" and you shouldn't either so promise me you'll live life like there is no tomorrow! Reach for the stars AND laugh every chance you get!

P.S. You're Lovely has a special meaning to me and its my daily reminder that I share with you. No matter what life throws your way there will never be another You. You are perfect..."flaws and all" and more lovely than you'll ever know.

P.S. You're Lovely is my gift to all of you. Thank you all for a wonderful year! I promise to make you proud.

 Blissfully,

P.S. You're Lovely

Recharging

Hello My Lovelies,

I know you've missed me as much as I've missed you. I had to take a moment away from the blog while I moved into my new place. It has taken its toll on me but while watch Best Food Ever on Netflix I was reminded why I push myself to my limits. It's because I love what I do.

If you haven't stopped by One Green Street lately it's time to make a change. P.S. You're Lovely has found a home there and more pieces will be coming soon.

Just finished these pieces and they will find their new homes very soon.

The Day is HERE

Hello Lovelies,

Please forgive me for not posting the event to this blog. I have another one that I'm starting up for my personal brand and with that and being in the mist of moving I clearly got my blogs confused and posted to the other one. Anywho, if you're free tomorrow I would love to see you at One Green Street. One Green Street will be carrying P.S. You're Lovely after this event! Super excited! Sherry is the sweetest so if you stop by tell her I sent you.

P.S. You're Lovely is making its way over to One Green Street! You know you're MAD about pearls so this is the event for you. 

Come check out some of the wonderful pieces behind P.S. You're Lovely and maybe even discover something you're MAD about too. P.S. You're Handsome, our upcylced cufflinks for men, will be on display as well.

The Do Bar will also be giving mini "Up Do" and make up demonstrations throughout the evening! Lite Bites and Refreshments will be on hand while you soak in the night!

If you've never been to One Green Street you are truly in for a treat. This is the most POSH eco friendly and sustainable boutique in town. Beautiful jewelry with some amazing stories behind them, eco friendly home products and makeup, sustainable clutches and so much more.

This is an evening you won't soon forget and we promise you'll leave MAD about Pearls.

Be there!

 Blissfully,

P.S. You're Lovely

"Flaws & All" Recap

Hello Lovelies,

This will be a short recap. It was AMAZING! I will never be able to express the amount of joy I felt that day.  Maria and Diana at Beatniks are the most wonderful women in the whole wide world for opening their shop to little ole me. The support Saturday was unheard of and I have tired my best to thank everyone. I put together a little something so you can get the inside view yourself.

Thank you to my mommy for being the amazing person she is (that sums up everything for this weekend), Ahshia for helping me make this connection and pushing me to do this event, Erika for always having the supplies i need lol, Mia and Heather for being an amazing support system and giving me strange medical solutions, my co-workers for supporting the unknown, my Lovely linesisters...what would I do without the Elements of Envy, my gorgeous neo... kiss kiss, and last but not least...that AMAZING FORCE OF SISTERHOOD, Mu Kappa Omega, for coming out of the woodworks to support a young Soror. I see the true spirit of Alpha Kappa Alpha in each one of you. Its too many of ya'll to name but you know who you are! Thank you for the bottom of my heart for supporting me today! I love you all.

Keep your eyes open because there are soo many things coming your way. I promise to post better pics later this week but I had to carry out the theme. Ya'll should know how I am by now.

Thank God for Netflix and Youtube

Hello My Lovelies,

So today I spent all day in bed nursing my sickness and I must say I feel a lot better. I have been entertained by cartoons on netflix and terribly funny men on youtube all day long. I would post links to their site but some of the words are as lovely as I would like ya'll to believe I am lol. Tissues and Theraflu have been my survival kit today and are allowing me to make it to Saturday.

I don't know...the pic is just cool.

Still doesn't taste like Rrrrum Punch...

I'm now up cleaning my apartment because mommy is coming in the morning. I can't tell ya'll how much her support means to me. She's the greatest!

My mommy decorating her best friend's Christmas. Yep, its a tradition.

Anyway, I hope I see ya'll this Saturday and just in case you don't want to go back and look for flyer I'm posting it again for you.

When It Rains It Pours

Hello My Lovelies,

As some of you may know this weekend is a very exciting weekend. I will be having my first trunk show, Flaws & All, at the cutest vintage shop in the Heights, Beatniks. As much as I'm excited I'm equally nervous and keep on hoping I have everything I need. To add to the nail biting nervousness....I'm getting sick. Yep, sick. I have been soooo carefully this whole crazy weather season to stay well and now the week before this amazing day I'm getting sick. I have decided that I am going to spend as much of tomorrow in bed as possible so I can crank out last minute details on Friday or at least see how much I can get done from bed on Thursday.

Theraflu and a good book...just what the doc ordered

 Thank God my mommy is coming on Friday morning. I don't know what I would do if she wasn't coming. Anyway I just thought I'd share. Hope to see you all this Saturday!


If only Theraflu could change flavors...sigh

P.S. You're Lovely

Flaws and All

Hello My Lovelies,

I know I have not been on here as much as I should be so please forgive me in advance! I have wonderful news to share with you. As many of you know I started P.S. You're Lovely back in April of 2011 and its been an amazing year so far. I have met some amazing women that have lifted and supported me continously through all my thoughts, ideas, fails, and triumphs and now this! The AMAZINGLY Lovely ladies at Heights Beatniks have not only decided to carry my line but are allowing me to host my FIRST Trunk Show in their store! I can't tell you how excited and blessed I am!

So here's the deets! P.S. You're Lovely Presents "Flaws & All" 2012 Trunk Show on Saturday, January 21, 2012 from 3:00pm to 6:00pm at Heights Beatniks in Houston, TX!

I chose the name Flaws & All because that's what P.S. You're Lovely is all about! I only use freshwater pearls in my designs because they are not perfectly round. Their flaws are what make them unique and beautiful. Women are just like freshwater pearls: we are all flawed in one way or another but that is what makes each of us unique. The jewelry I design and create for P.S. You’re Lovely is a reminder that you are lovely, flaws and all, and there will never be another woman like you.

I hope you can all come and see what I have been working on. Guys, I would suggest you come too because P.S. You're Handsome will be unveiled and you WANT to see this. Trust me!

As I leave you to enjoy the rest of your day please enjoy Beyonce as she sings Flaws and All. No matter what we are lovely because of all these flaws! Never forget you are indeed lovely.



 Blissfully,

P.S. You're Lovely
