Welcome to my  Fashion Story Board. 

This is my first attempt at sharing how you can accessorize a simple outfit

using the items found in the specialty shops of the
"Unique Women in Business Yahoo Group". 

I have joined Janet of "Honey from the Bee"
for Getting it Together Thursday's. 

To get a closer look at the accessories I have chosen,
just click on the photo and you will be redirected to the
Etsy shop where you can also purchase the item. Enjoy!

Labradorite is so fascinating! The flash and fire can be seen even in dim lightly lit bistros. I paired these beautifully faceted gemstone briolettes with my hand made wire wrapped design using both oxidized and un-oxidized silver wire to show off the intricate pattern.
These handcrafted earrings fall about 2 and 1/8 inches from the top of the ear wire.

"I am very excited to present this the very first scarf in my collection of functional art items."Rhapsody" is an uplifting nature designed piece with dangling golden pears, small white rabbits, with floral and botanical imagery. I find these colors magnificent together. I hope you enjoy this too."~Robin Maria Pedrero

The scarf is made of pure silk habotai, 6" x 48" with the image Rhapsody printed upon it.

Wear this lovely necklace as close to your neckline or extend it to rest just above your cleavage. I have alternated multi faceted briolette crystals on the first 3 inches of each end of the lariat, totalling 22 crystals ...11 on each side. The chain chosen for this lariat is made of several loops varying in size all linked together.

"I cast this bronze victorian seashell, drilled and soldered the fine silver bezel setting onto it, then, soldered onto the very sturdy sterling silver half-round band. Size 8.  I love the color of the bronze, it's golden with a rose cast to it. The sterling band will assure wear ability with no discoloration (I've sealed the bronze on the back of the ring so it doesn't turn your finger green!)"~Ciaobela

This will be an amazing statement ring for this summer, holidays, every day.

Description:

This ring was inspired by the seashore at East Hampton. Can you visualize the curls of the waves at the bottom, tumbling into disarray at the top of the ring? I watched the waves reform and tumble, a different formation each time. Mesmerizing!

This is a sterling silver band ring, which can be adjusted from sizes 7 to 9 (it's currently at a size 8) with a little squeeze or pull.

Steel brushed finish, under 1/2 inch wide. A "one of a kind" statement ring! The curls of the waves are not fragile at all, since it was hand sawn from 16 g silver.

Dirt Road South

http://www.dirtroadsouth.etsy.com/

I was browsing the net for a few special

"just because" gifts for my daughter in law,

when I stumbled on this

Etsy Shop....."Dirt Road South".

I have to be honest the name caught my attention and I had to settle my curiousity and find out just what was behind the name. Talk about a difficult decision...whew! There were so many entriguing items. I wanted them all!

Lori is certainly "one clever Artist!

I so enjoy her creativity!!!

A perfect match for the Black Skull

and Crossbones on Hot Pink Pendant!

This cute little skull and crossbones ring measures

just under an inch from the top of the hand-stamped,

resin-coated black skull on hot pink hand-painted wooden base

to the bottom of the silver-plated adjustable ring

and is approximately one inch wide.

These little bobbies are so cute,

and add a bit of pretty to any outfit!

Measuring roughly half an inch each,

these bright hot pink acrylic roses

are securely attached to silver-plated

standard size bobby pins.

Pick some up for your favorite little girl,

or your favorite big girl

that refuses to grow up!

One of a kind original artwork you can wear!

This hand-painted pendant measures just

3/4 of an inch wide

and is approximately 1 7/8 inches tall

with the silver plated bail included.

Hot pink and rich, chocolately brown swirl into each other

for a unique and one of a kind design

that reminds me of neopolitan ice cream.

Here are just a few of the many items currently for sale at
Dirt Road South!

A Message From Lori:

My name is Lori... nice to "meet" you! Born and raised in Virginia (Colonial Heights proud!), I've called South Mississippi home since 1994. I make stuff, I break stuff, but I don't ever take stuff because you know what they say about karma. I'm lucky enough to be supported in my artistic endeavours by an incredible support group of friends and family. I have 3 amazing kids, and if you don't believe me they'll be happy to tell you just how fabulous they are!

I'm constantly creating, and I pride myself on design, craftsmanship and quality. I'm into recycling, upcycling, bicycling. Okay, so not so much the last one... I don't even own a bike. But I like them. I like lots of stuff... all sorts of stuff.

And if you haven't gotten enough of me here, you can also find me here:

Lori has a birthday coming up.....Why not stop by, http://www.dirtroadsouth.etsy.com , and wish this creative artist a

"Happy Birthday" on August 18th......

I bet you find something you just can't resist while you're there!
