Happy Wednesday everyone! Gosh, I honestly don’t know where to start. I’m beyond excited to share something very special with you today… a Wendy’s Lookbook X BaubleBar design collaboration! This has been in the works for months, and now that it’s live, I can’t really put how I feel into words. It’s excitement, joy, nervousness, and everything in between. I feel so honored to work with the incredible team at BaubleBar to bring sketches on paper to life. I truly hope you enjoy the designs, and if I may, I’d love to share this adventure with you!
This collection is inspired by structures, more specifically city structures. Clean lines drawn from city skylines, chains and links inspired by metro grids and maps, and delicate chains paired with chokers influenced by bridges. The BaubleBar team and I really wanted to experiment and have loads of fun, so we decided to highlight the jewelry pieces in the studio and also in real life. With the editorial shoot, I focused on bold layering, and with the street style shoot, I featured light pairings.
:: Layered Structures ::
In the studio, I layered strong and delicate pieces together for an edgy look. For daily wear, I love pairing the pearl collar with the asymmetric collar.
– Medusa pearl collar, Gold Vertebrae bib, Pyramid Spike layered collar –
– Medusa pearl collar, Fauna collar –
:: Statement Chains ::
To create contrast, I paired chain necklaces with soft feminine hues in the studio. For a simple effortless touch, I wore them alone with my favorite tops.
– Crystal Grendel bib, Eleanor Chain bib –
:: Gold Rush ::
For high impact, I layered multiple gold pieces together in the studio. For simple understated elegance, I coupled just a few key pieces together for daily wear.
– Mercury three-band ring set, Coronation cigar/thin ring set, Aristocrat button ring set, Athena grid cuff –
– Ice Athena ear cuff, Graphic ear jackets –
– Porthole layered collar, Tubular ear crawlers –
– Mercury three-band ring set, Aristocrat button ring set, Structural crystal ring set
:: My Sammie ::
I invited the team to my place and couldn’t stop talking about Sammie. Andrew, the super sweet and talented photographer, snapped a few pictures of Sammie and I while we were on break. This is how I show Sammie love… I hold him like a baby and kiss him everywhere until he goes “Mommie, ew!!!”. Even though he resists, I secretly think he likes it! =)
Thank you so much for being on this journey with me! I truly hope you enjoy the collection. Words can not express how grateful I am for your support and encouragement throughout the years. Thank you thank you.
And as always, thank you so much for reading!
