Fresh Spring Prints

Spring 2010 is all about playing with patterns. From bold geometric designs to soft florals, everything goes. Mixing patterns like stripes and florals, and polka dots and zebra prints is welcomed this season. While this style is not for the shy or conservative, it can break up the monotony and bring a smile to your face.

Interview With Designer Rachel Bommer Of Rach B Jewelry

Interview With Designer Rachel Bommer Of Rach B Jewelry

When browsing through the Rach B Jewelry collection, it is evident that designer Rachel Bommer has an eye for design and passion for amazing jewelry.  From chic statement necklaces to eye-catching earrings, Rach B Jewelry has it all.

There is something magical about talking to someone who loves what they do and finds beauty all around them.  I am happy to share my interview with the classy and talented Rach B with you.

What got you started as a jewelry designer?

I am a fashion design graduate. I was always attracted to making/ designing things as a child. As much as I loved designing clothes, I enjoyed jewelry making more because of the instant gratification aspect. I started making simple jewelry at the age of four. In grade school, I would sell my creations in the lunchroom. By high school, I was selling jewelry in local salons and in my high school’s office. Although it makes me cringe now, I still can’t believe what a little entrepreneur I was at a young age.

If you had to define Rach B Jewelry in one sentence, what would it be?

Rach B Jewelry fuses timeless, high-end looks that can be worn with a white tank top or little black dress–at accessible prices.

What do you enjoy most about designing jewelry?

I enjoy that the second I get a vision or idea, I am able to make it right away. Very gratifying.

Where do you find inspiration when creating new pieces?

I would go crazy if I didn’t set limits for each collection I design. I first figure out which handful of stones I am using.  From there, the stones and chains inspire me just by playing around with ideas and proportions.

Which Rach B item do you find yourself wearing again and again?

I wear my multi-stone earrings (seen here) ALL the time with a tank top or little black dress.  For the past 3 1/2 years, and currently on the 7th collection, I have designed the same multi-stone earrings, simply incorporating the new color or stone for the new season. They are my best sellers, too.  Irresistible, I’d say.

Could you offer a few tips on wearing jewelry?

Don’t wear it all at once! If you wear large earrings, go for a bracelet. Wearing a big necklace ?  Go with studs.  Keep it at one statement piece that complements your outfit best.

You can buy Rachel B’s jewelry online.

2010 Military Style

Spring’s hot military trend calls for a little basic training. This year, the style is more soft and refined. It’s all about mixing it up, incorporating layers and touches of  femininity.

You won’t make it through this fashion boot camp by wearing the same style from head to toe.  Instead, mix military pieces with feminine elements like ruffles, sequins, bows, bib necklaces, flirty skirts and heels.  Earn that style stripe by adding a few military-inspired pieces to your wardrobe this season.
