5 ETSY FALL FAVORITES

Fall has finally hit So Cal and I couldn't be more excited! I've found five beautiful Etsy finds that are perfect for fall. I love shopping on Etsy (visit my shop) and buying from the handmade artisans. To me, things hold much more value when the person that designed it also made it with their own hands!  

1. The Kallisto Shoulder Bag - comes all the way from Athens!

Etsy shop: milloo

2. Sitka Spruce Earrings - Very cute!

Etsy shop: natureofart

3. White Gloves - So pretty, perfect into winter!

4. Pretty iphone case in fall colors

5. Peacock Blue Eyeshadow - So pretty!!

THINGS ARE POPPIN' UP!

Last month Calypte Collection had the opportunity to partner with XCVI Fashion in their Thousand Oaks pop-up.  XCVI is a beautiful clothing line with a Boho Chic esthetic. Several of the Bohemian Chic pieces of the CC jewelry line where available along with several other talented local artisans.

 The pop-up was such a success that CC is heading up north with XCVI to Santa Barbara at the new pop-up location! I'm so excited to have the jewelry line in SB, a beautiful artsy beach town, where the sun shines 300 days a year!

Go check out the XCVI shop which is now open through December 30th!

FALL FASHION INSPIRATION

Even though it's technically Fall, here in Southern Cali it is still soooo hot. I've been itching for the weather to cool so I can wear warm cozy sweaters, boots, and jewel tones. While I wait, I've been collecting outfit ideas that are cool enough for summer but can easily be transformed for warmer weather. Here are a few of my favorites outfits and accesories for the season. Enjoy!

AMAZING AUGUST

Hi Everyone! It has been a while since my last post, August was crazy busy, busy, busy!  So many fun and fantastic things happened this August and have spilled over into September that I'm excited to share with you!


I had an amazing time working with a group of talented people on a goth themed Graffiti Photo Shoot for the StyleHashtag blog.  We spent the day shooting in L.A. using crazy awesome graffiti as the backdrop. My Calypte Collection spike necklaces and chunky chain jewelry went perfectly with the talented fashion designer, Michelle Hebert gowns.  After all the fun, we went for lunch at the delicious Urth Caffe! A perfect ending to a perfect day.

Thanks to Garone Africa Photography for the amazing photos and Michelle from the StyleHashtag blog!  

Last, but definitely not least, my jewelry line, Calypte Collection has partnering with the XCVI fashion pop-up shop at The Oaks mall in Thousand Oaks!! A bohemian-chic clothing line that pairs beautifully with my boho-chic jewelry pieces! The shop is open now until October 2nd. Go check it out!

Fashion Night Out was a lot of fun!  I met many wonderful people and had the most amazing red velvet cake of my life! If your ever in Calabases, CA (check the website for other locations) you have got to try Susie Cakes Bakery!

August was wonderful and September will be just as great.  I'm working on tons of new designs that I can't wait to share with you.
