One of the very many favorite things about my job is how organically it weaves into my life. Happy accident? Well, that is yet to be determined. Whilst in LA for a brief visit with my very best friend, Fashion Stylist Extraordinaire, Britt Bardo, (whom i like to call my, “sister from another mister”) a light bulb goes off inside my head as I stalk her latest stacks. Kathy Rose of Roseark is just minutes away from us and has one of the most beautifully curated Jewelry stores in all of, well, anywhere. I quickly decide to organize a trip over to the store and create my latest entry which Roseark will christen…..”Inside the Case”.
Kathy is one of those people who somehow manages to bring me to tears every time we get together. Not sure what it is, but whatever is it…its powerful!! I’d like to think I’m special, but something tells me Kathy has that affect on more then just me. That is what happens when you walk inside of Roseark. There is magic there. You will see collections you’ve never seen in your life and feel as though they are from another world. You will see collections that you are familiar with but her selection keeps them fresh and unique. Then of course there is Kathy’s line of beautious amulets and creatures. The thing about Kathy’s pieces is that you can literally put on every piece from her case, and you feel as if they are your own, enhancing your already decided upon look. Her vibe is organic with a LUXE tone that is approachable. Using nature as her inspiration, she infuses arrowheads, snakes, and eagles all with the very many assorted shapes and cuts of diamonds to turn them into living breathing ornaments on your body.
So B and I roll over there and seriously, what better sidekick to come on as Contributing Editor to this post than this one. I hope you enjoy these pics as much as I enjoyed my time with Britt and Kathy at Roseark. (“Thank You”, my special Ladies)
