A Beautiful Odyssey

Dolly Rockers newest jewellery collection is named "A Beautiful Odyssey".
What is a Beautiful Odyssey all about? Dive deep into an underwater world, filled with unexpected treasures.. versized agate & quartz Gemstones of Watery blues and aqua greens. Sea anemone pink beads enhanced by nuggets of inky blues and purples. Horizons of ambers and browns melt into ropes of gold’s, coins of brass and shimmery white rhinestones. Explore the bejewelled depths of an eternal abyss.

Dolly Rockers was very happy to find out that the beautiful and talented singer Katie Noonan (ex. George) - http://www.katienoonan.com/ is wearing Dolly Rockers jewellery in her latest video.

The debut video for her new band, K.N and the Captains - 'Page One'.

Iris Apfel - the first bohemian!

Inspiration is everywhere but sometimes i come across a person or object that blows me out of the water. That person of the moment is Iris Apfel. I wont bore you with all the details and you can google her life story easily but suffice to say i am totally inspired by her unique style and character. Rachel Zoe (as much as i love her) has nothing on Iris. Her jewellery collection alone makes my jaw drop. 

check out these amazing photos from recent exhibitions.

If you want to know more i recommend buying the book "Rare Bird of Fashion: The Irreverent Iris Apfel"

Whenever Dolly Rockers is fortunate to score a bit of mag coverage or at best an editorial piece i am always over the moon but this week The Noosa Weekender (Qld mag) has featured myself and my label Dolly Rockers as the cover story and it is over 4 pages! Phewww

My thanks go to Lizzie who wrote the beautiful article, Debbie who took most of the photos of my jewellery and models (the article would not have happened without the campaign shots) and to Catherine from The Tribune who gave such a lovely and complimentary quote. 

Special thanks to my friend, spontaneous PR agent and TS14+ manager, Tanya who made me feel like a very famous person for the whole of the friday following the articles release. 

cheers

If you are a designer of fashion, fashion accessories, fashion connoisseur or just a designer who is dying to be noticed, a spot in Vogue would have to be at the top of your "top 5" goals. I know that for me it has always been a dream and this month, Vogue December issue page 90, it has become a reality. 

One of Dolly Rockers stunning crystal handcrafted necklaces has been featured within the pages of Australia's (and the world's) top fashion magazine - or bible as it is rightly referred to. 

That's one to cross of the list.

A very excited designer!
