lush jewelry giveaway
Wednesday, November 12th, 2008Just in time for the holiday gift-giving frenzy, I’ve discovered Barbara Wheeler’s Lush Jewelry collection. This fabulously talented designer has created a delicate and feminine selection that’s ideal for petite frames. And it’s every bit as unique as it is dainty. Because, fortunately for the lucky recipient, most of her pieces are one of a kind. Her design philosophy is all about freedom of expression, rather than mass production, and her customers love her for it.
I was honored to chat with Barbara about Lush Jewelry and what inspired her latest collection.
What are your favorite metals and stones to work with, and why?
I mostly work with 14k gold filled and sterling silver because they are so versatile. I can make something that looks really organic or add some juicy gemstones and make a really luscious, expensive-looking piece. Lately I’ve been obsessing over gunmetal — it has a vintagey appearance that I like to pair with gold for a chic, unique look. I also love rainbow moonstone, labradorite and green amethyst because they’re so clear and almost look wet when they’re high quality.
What inspires your line?
So many things inspire me. Nature, architecture — and not having any earrings to wear today! So, of course, I’ll have to sit down and make a pair of earrings to perfectly complement my outfit and mood. That happens a lot. Sometimes they’re one of a kind and sometimes they make it into my line. But they ALWAYS make me late!
What would you like my readers to know about your line?
So often, my jewelry is described as “delicate,” so whether they choose a three-inch long pair of earrings or small hoops, their petite frames will be accentuated rather than overwhelmed by my jewelry.
Lush Jewelry has graced the pages of ELLE, Pacific, Want, and 944 magazines, and has been used in a number of local fashion shows. A growing number of fashionistas and celebrities alike are taking notice. Petite musician Lily Allen in particular, if you don’t mind the name-drop!
Lucky for us, she’s agreed to a serafina giveaway! Winners will have a choice of the following:
Lucky Necklace
Kara Earrings
Eternity Necklace
See yourself pairing one of these beauties with your new holiday attire? Comment or email and tell us why you deserve to own such a fabulous design, and it can be yours. We’ll select winners Sunday, November 30th.

aprilmarin fall & winter collection
Monday, November 10th, 2008Here at serafina, my editors and I are big fans of AprilMarin’s custom apparel. And we’re happy to announce their new fall collection. They’re now offering two great new skirt suits and three new dresses for every petite lass.
The Audrey, Dae and Capri dresses are prefect for the holidays. Dress them up or down and you’ll look spectacular. I love the design of the Audrey dress especially the pockets! Its also 10% off this month…
The Dae dress is excellent for any occasion as well as the office. What else is excellent about the design is that you can pair it with all of your jewelry, shoes, tall boots or handbags. It really is that versatile.
The Capri dress is another perfect classic option for all girls’ closets. You’ll wear it forever and never tire of it.
The suiting is equally as fabulous. I love the Grace suit because its classic and sexy.
And, the Kristina suit is beautiful. I like that its different than anything out on the market currently and the cut of the jacket is elegant with the right amount of flair. I adore the ¾ sleeve design and the cloth buttons. Wear it as separates too – the jacket would look perfect with all of my denim.
Additionally they’ve updated their website to make your custom ordering oh so much easier. They’ve added a variety of pull downs so after you’ve been measured you can choose the correct measurements and voila! your new purchase. So easy.
Still love the Cella dress? No worries, they’re original designs are still available.
AprilMarin designs range roughly $130 to $200 which is what you’re gonna pay at other shops but without the perfect custom fit. Contemporary custom clothing is the way to go to get the polished look you want.
“We have great appreciation for what these icons did for the fashion world and how they influenced what we wear today. We were thrilled to focus our research and design on these women - and reinterpret the most iconic wardrobe staples - the little black dress and the skirt suit,” says April Bukofser, co-founder of AprilMarin. The fall collection is simple and understated with a focus on dresses and skirt suits. Marin Milio, co-founder, said “What I learned most from these icons is that simple-classic lines are enough and there is no need for ostentation when the fit is perfect.”
