Hello Haute Mamas It's Kimberly!
It seems like every time I walk into a store I get lost in the jewelry department. I can't remember the last time I was in a jewelry store that sold real gems, jewelry and watches. I am talking about costume jewelry the jewelry that we can have fun with! We can afford to pile it on... not wear it for a while... won't cry for days if we break it or lose it!!! The anti-stress Haute Mommy Jewelry!! The FUN STUFF!!! Kate and I live on the Southcoast of Massachusetts and we have a lot of summer friends we will be seeing soon and we joke with them that it is time to start our summer stacking of the jewelry. When we have our girls nights here in Mattapoisett we like to pile on the accessories!! However, to quote the Fabulous Rachel Zoe " Just be honest with yourself when you look in the mirror: if you resemble a Christmas tree with one too many ornaments from one too many trends than lose something!" We have a lot of skin showing in the summer time and it is great to dress it up and have some fun with jewelry.
A few of my favorite pieces and I probably would cry if I lost them or broke them are by a local designer here in Massachusetts and friend of mine Michelle Murphy of SeaLore Designs. Michelle is a Haute Mama of 5 children!! YES!! 5!!! She has been creating jewelry since she was a little girl and like all great designers was encouraged to pursue her talent and passion. Michelle burst onto the scene 2 years ago and is carrying her line in many stores along the south shore such as Shop Mermaids, Spa Scape Day Spa to name a few and now the south coast at Contrary Boutique. The inspiration for Michelle is free spirited, boho, beach chic. She also designs some symbolic jewelry as well. What I love about Michelle's jewelry is her use of metal with natural stones. Pictured below are some of Michelle's design's the perfect summer piece's to compliment your outfit!!
f SeaLore Design's Jewelry you can find at Etsy.com. Way to go Michelle! I admire you for following your passion and finding a way to balance it all!! You are truly a Haute Mama!!
XO Kimberly
