Designs By Nina

One day I saw a friend of mine at an event and  noticed how gorgeous her earrings were, so I asked, "Where did you get your earrings?", and she responded, "Oh I made them myself." So a few weeks later, I met up with her to view her designs and I walked away with about 5 pairs. Designs by Nina offers one-of-a-kind earrings and necklaces so you don't have to worry about anyone having the same design. Also, at your request, she can change the earrings to clip-ons. Some pieces are made with beads (like the green ones below) from the organization BeadforLife, which strives to help impoverished women in Uganda.  Below are a few pics of the earrings I purchased.

IMATS NY 2012

Today I attended the IMATS NY Pro-Night courtesy of Royal & Langnickel. It was a great opportunity to see all the exhibitors before the show opens to the public on Saturday and Sunday. Last year was my first time attending and it was mayhem! I had to wait on the Inglot line for about an hour so I encourage you to get there early. It was held at the Metropolitan Pavilion which is a lot smaller than this location Pier 94 so hopefully it won't be as crowded. Now, this year they have soooo many deals! Check out the pics I took after the jump:
