I fell in love with this line. Ethereal floating works of wearable art with little burst of color & metallic flects, so beautiful & each piece reflects the heart of the creator!
"element47 was founded on owner/artist Amy Gresens’ passion for creating unique, colorful jewelry. Her designs are inspired by simple geometric and organic shapes that have vibrant, rich colors. Her collection of work encompasses the fusion of metals and rich colored alternative materials (such as resin and felt) to create dynamic contrasts that are extraordinarily unique."
Artist, Amy Gresens

When I think about fashion, I always have sustainable style in mind. I may show you a $1,700 Gucci bag, but in reality, even if I had the cash to buy, I wouldn't. You know why? I could probably find something similar at a resale or thrift store for much less & love a lot more!
So I still get the quality of a luxury item, but I saved money & up-cycled!
See below!
My gorgeous Pringle of Scotland $698 Silk Blouse!
It still had the tags, and I purchased it for $9.97!
Necklace was a thrift store find too! $30.00!
Moschino Cherry Red Pumps!
$3.50! These are $900 shoes!
So cute!
My true love is vintage, I have a collection of handbags & jewelry that date back as far as the mid-1800s! Not only do I get a piece with rich history, it's made beautifully & items were limited then, not mass produced.
Check out some of my favorite pieces above!
All Christian Dior, except for the Chanel 'double c' pin!
For the stylish Bridge player!
All vintage finds!
Everything above was thrifted!
P.S. I haven't purchased one new fashion item in almost a year! :)

Devoid of hue, white is a true contrast to shades with pigment.
Like black, there is a serenity to it as well.
A restful vision that helps us bend light to see.
A stark reflection mixed with bright & dark, just like all the colors in our world, we can not do without it.
Our eyes would not allow the exclusion and blindness would set in.

Neon bright, blocked, striped, solid, textured!
Color comes in many, many forms this season! The prettiest are mixed with neutrals and/or deep, rich colors! Ruby with pale pink; navy with neon bright; purple with turquoise, you get the idea!
