workshop. MOCA X Swarovski X HocusKocis

  Last month, I was so excited to teach my first workshop at the MOCA! Based around an exhibit showcasing chinese american designers, "front row" served as inspiration for a day full of DIY accessories & jewelry.  Making the day extra special, the super nice people over at Swarovski Elements were generous enough to help us out with some beautiful crystals to adorn and attach to our accessories. Here are some highlights from the event!

coney island mermaid parade.

my first mermaid parade. 
everything i imagined it would be.
but the best part was the mix of beach goers.

1/3 people from the city
1/3 people from coney island etc.
1/3 mermaid freaks

watching a posiedon emerge from the ocean was certainly a sight.

rich bitch.




finally got to see bling ring last night! 
it opened today but usually (at least in new york, all movies come out at 10pm the night before).
i love this Tough Talk Tom Binns necklace that they stole from Paris Hiltons house, but it has a hefty price tag. $1665 here. likely won't have a chance to DIY it, but I will certainly look into it.
