Friends and Family: The Photographer Series
Our latest Friends & Family photographer feature takes us West amongst the gorgeous deserts of Arizona. (We love all of the fun and far-flung places our jewelry enjoys traveling!) Though Lauryn Bushman currently makes her home closer to our neck o' the woods here in Kentucky (more on that front in a bit) her life takes her hither, there, and yon, and we loved that she took time out of her wedding countdown this month to shoot a few pics of our Art Deco glass drops from the Fall Collection.
Lauryn's love of beauty (she's a self-declared seeker of beautiful details...whether finding symmetry in nature, a colorful pattern, or the way light bounces off of different surfaces, no matter how gritty or pristine the surroundings) and her international adventures (childhood in Asia, travels around the globe, education in California, and a career in New York) contribute heartily to her passion for capturing this beauty on camera. A few of Lauryn's images below...and more gorgeous glimpses on her website.
Though trained as an industrial designer (and following a stint with Michael Kors Eyewear) her most recent adventure in the Bluegrass State is allowing her to explore her photographic pursuits and interests, as her fiancé Tyler, a chef, will be opening Rye, a restaurant in Louisville, Kentucky later this fall. Throughout the menu tasting process, Lauryn has documented the recipes (with both camera AND stomach!) and the results for both food and art are bound to be fantastic.
Until we can make a reservation, we're loving Lauryn's interpretation of a favorite earring style amidst the desert beauty out West...the lush, rich colors of succulents and gorgeously textured surfaces suit the Art Deco glass beautifully, a feast for the eyes! Many thanks to Lauryn for her beautiful pictures, and happy wedding weekend soon!

All about Fall
It's both formal and casual, on-the-go and laid-back, polished and rustic...all of these dualities are at play in both our lives and in fashion. The juxtaposition of a little bit of uptown and a touch of country living exists in us all.

Before the Awesomeness Begins
So here's the situation...our Second Annual Super Awesome Sale will start next week (we'll let you know, but let's just say it starts on a day that rhymes with Shoesday) and, based on last year's excitement, it should be a rockin' good time. Not only will (almost) everything currently on the site be featured at fantastic prices, we'll also add a handful (well, more than that, really) of new designs specifically for the event. Think of it as a sale AND an outlet. (Hence, the Super Awesome name.)
In the meantime, we'd like to give our fans, friends, and followers a heads-up on the awesomeness. Starting now and ending Sunday August 14th (yes, promptly at 11:59:59 p.m. EST) you'll be able to use a special pre-sale promo code to get in early on the goods. This is your chance to snag that Elva necklace you've been eyeing all summer...or perhaps to stock up on some early Christmas gifts for the girls. In any case, the entire world (the entire Elva-loving world, that is) will have access to the sale next week, so you best be getting shopping now before the chaos--I mean, awesomeness--begins.
Live it up and thanks so much for being so fantastic!
PRE-SALE FUN BEGINS NOW!

Sweet Sipping
What a thrill and honor to be part of Design*Sponge's Behind the Bar feature by Ryan and Alissa Walker (co-owners of the amazing online shop, HORNE...more on that front to come.) We loved sharing a refreshing cocktail, especially using some of our favorite Kentucky ingredients, and hope you'll enjoy some back-deck, southern-inspired sipping, too. Enjoy! (See the full feature and recipe here!)
