Brooches are an important accessory for the Fall and Winter. Since conventional jewelry (like bracelets and necklaces) are often concealed by long sleeves and high necks, a brooch can be the main adornment of any outfit. This one is feminine without being too ‘precious’ and stylish without being too stylized.

Lucite is often used as a light or shatter-resistant alternative to glass. I find it most useful as a wood alternative and space saver.

Wood is the ubiquitous material for furniture- tables, chairs, dressers, beds, consoles, wood dominates this particular market. But a room full of wood is boring, so I am always looking for and championing different materials. Lucite, mainly as tables and accessories, is an ideal, inexpensive and modern way to start peeking out from underneath a mountain of wood.

Its secondary attribute is a space saver. This material (like glass) carries no visual weight, so small spaces don’t have to be compromised. Here are some of my favorite examples of lucite in action-

Designer Spotlight: Christy Lea Payne

Designer Spotlight: Christy Lea Payne

 

clp1Rarely do designers get it *exactly* right. Meet Christy Lea Payne. A mainstay of the Sundance Catalogue, you may recognize her designs from Boulder’s celebrated Chelsea Boutique. With unparalled attention to detail, CLP designs blend a Western earthiness with enough sophistication to make the most glamorous city girl swoon. Her lines are versatile in materials (from leather and sterling to turquoise and labradorite, diamonds and gold) and reflect a wide range of price points. While I personally find her custom stone necklaces to be sublime, she’s had tremendous success with her more moderately priced and personally selected charm necklaces. Whatever your style or budget, CLP will dazzle you.
