Lovely Hair Adornments

The Fall wedding season is here and one of my friends from college, who
is getting married in November,  asked me to design a beautiful hair piece
to go with her blue dress (so cool, so her). She envisioned something in ivory
and warm greys... so here are some of concepts I thought I would share...

An ivory bloom with rustic, natural elements like winterberries:

A hand-made ivory and grey bloom with natural elements:

A hand-made ivory and grey bloom with feathers:

This project is still in the works, but I love the way these concepts are headed
and was excited to share Some of these beauties will be making it into the Poési
Collection for sure!

Revamped website! (Behind the scenes)

Hi there, I'm so thrilled to announce the official GRAND OPENING of our newly revamped (and e-commerced) website: www.ilovepoesi.com! It took much effort, especially on the part of our resident graphic designer, Carol, but it is finally ready for it's launch!  To celebrate, we're offering 25% off all orders placed during our first week :)

Although it was hard work, I also had so much fun planning the look and feel of everything... especially the splash page. It will be my virtual storefront, where I will be designing and changing out the display windows seasonally and also where I make any announcements.  Sketching the building exterior took me back to my former life as an architect for a moment-feeling like I was back in Paris on a sketch assignment.

My favorite part, however, was playing around with the interior element: what the future brick-and-mortar boutique could look like someday... and since this part did not make it onto the website (except as a line drawing), I thought it would be nice to show it here...

Who knows how my vision will evolve, but as of now, that is my little dream shop :)

Julie
