Bubbles and Baubles

It's time for our second annual Bubbles & Baubles Jewelry Trunk Show tonight! Shipments have been arriving all week. We have been like kids in a candy store discovering all the baubles that will be on display this evening!

I was captivated by these druzy & quartz bracelets! I'm on a druzy kick as of late & at least one of these from Mikala's Designs will be mine!

One can never have enough chandelier earrings & these from Calico Juno Designs will go with just about anything!

These initial necklaces from local jewelry designer Lotus Jewelry Studio are such classics! I have one. I gave one to my sister when she had her first baby with her & her hubby's initials + their little one's. They make the perfect bridesmaids gifts, too! Of course Medusa's Heirlooms hair baubles will making an appearance, as well as Tres Bon Bons to nosh on while sipping champagne. So if you're a Baltimore reader, we'd love to have you pop by La Papillon Spa from 5-8pm tonight! We'll see you there!

Peace. Love. Baubles. M

Bubbles & Baubles Event

Our Bubbles & Baubles Event was such a blast! Fabulous jewelry designers & fabulous clients, who can one go wrong?

Champagne glasses filled with Chambord blackberry liquor or Canton Ginger Liquor awaited a fresh pour of bubbly upon the arrival of our guests...

I'm becoming quite the domestic goddess- yes? Bon Bons & pretzel rods in La Papillon's signature blue were the confections I lovingly made.

Our debut of the Virgins, Saints & Angels line became the focal point on our make-up bar.

Another artisan shot of the line.

Rachel Abroms' necklaces were saturated with semi precious stones, while her horsebit bracelets were a fan favorite.

Striking Sumaris pieces can start a conversation.

Our gorgeous Medusa's Heirlooms hair accessories had girls ohhing & ahhing! It was like a breath of fresh air being able to bring in some new designers for the night. So much so, that Bubbles & Baubles might become an annual event. So if you couldn't make it out to this one, there's always next year! Have a good weekend beauties!

Bubbles & Baubles Event

Ah it's the day before our big Bubbles & Baubles Event- aka crunch time! I've been up to my elbows in Bon Bon making, but I wanted to introduce 2 other lines that will be featured at our jewelry trunk show! First is Wax Insignia, a beautiful line of cast initial & symbol jewelry. At La Papillon we always say "we hold the key to better skin", so it was love at first sight when I saw their key pendants! I also adore all things Fleur de Lis- so again I was sold. I love how customizable this line is- you can layer & choose the style of chain.

Sumaris is a bold line of one of a kind jewelry built around vintage brooches. They are literally pieces of art & can make the simplest of outfits really pop.

I've actually worked with this line before when a stylist brought some pieces to a photo shoot I was working on, this is another signature piece type of line. I hope any of my Baltimore area gals will be popping by- I would love to meet you!

Medusa's Heirlooms

Medusa's Heirlooms are like confections for your hair. They always add a little sparkle and a little glam to your coif! I love everything about the line, including its fabulous owner Nicole.

I now have an official wardrobe of headbands because I love theirs so much! While working, I'm often waxing clients. To avoid possibly waxing some of my own hair off, I often have my hair up- Medusa's headbands always make me feel more polished.
Medusa's Heirlooms is a huge vendor for my beloved Henri Bendel in NYC- which is known for setting the trends. I wonder if this is the next big trend- since all of the girls at work were pining for these stone ponytail holders. I fended them off since no one is allowed to purchase anything until our Bubbles & Baubles Event this Wednesday! We hope to see you there!

Virgins, Saints & Angels

Oh Girleens, the day has finally arrived! Our first shipment of Virgins, Saints & Angels jewelry came in yesterday at the boutique & I was doing the happy dance. This is the line that led to the idea behind our whole Bubbles & Baubles Event next week. I wanted to have a launch party to debut it, and it grew from there to include some other amazing designers & a reason to get our fabulous clients together over cocktails.

So what if I felt like I basically needed to have a retina scan & a blood test to even be considered to bring in this line- it's so unusual & gorgeous I was happy to do so! All of the handcrafted pieces come in these exquisite little boxes to keep them in.

I love turquoise- it's so fresh & the color looks good on all skin tones. This necklace is so romantic- swoon!

How striking is this cuff? Intense, yes? This is the cuff that becomes someones signature piece of jewelry.

This is the necklace that began the love affair with this line. I love the old world feel of this piece, and I love how it drapes on the neck. I can't wait for everyone to see the magic of this jewelry in person next week. Have a great weekend my beauties!

Rachel Ambroms Studio

Rachel Abroms started out in the entertainment industry as a casting director. Now she adorns stars with her designs. She has built her brand with stylists all around the globe with these delicate Mad Coin medallion necklaces. They have a lovely a bohemian feel that can be layered or worn alone.

But her line offers so much more depth. I am loving these leather wrap bracelets featuring cool chunks of aqua & blue chalcedony intermingled with chrysoprase.
What can I say? I absolutely heart this piece. It is such statement making power, but is also incredibly elegant.
You know this gal loves anything Fleur de Lis & I love how Rachel combined the medallions with horsebit pieces for a Gucci feel. I'm running out of appendages to accessorize- I love so many of her pieces! Maybe I'll save one or two things for you gals, when we display her collection at our Bubbles & Baubles Event- what can I say? I'm a giver!

Peace. Love. Lipgloss. M
