Tell me about you and your shop.
I love dressing up, but in my everyday life, I like to be comfortable with the classic t-shirt and jeans. I started making jewelry for that fact of being able to have beautiful pieces that would easily transition from a day to evening look. They're subtle, yet they make a beautiful statement of less is more.

What are some ways that people can still look chic for less?
For someone like me, I don't have a lot of time to do actual shopping; plus, I hate the crowds. So the best thing for me is online shopping. These sites have great fashion for less than what I would want to pay: NastyGal, ModCloth and ASOS.

What is your favorite piece in your shop and why?
My favorite piece in my shop right now is the Sunset Rocks Earrings. They're made to look sort of like a diamond with facets. I love how they glisten as the light hits each angle.
