The RAD! Photo Shoot

This past week I had a photo shoot for my online boutique. I got most of my products shot and I'm getting really excited about the progress that I am making towards getting my boutique open!

I have officially set a launch date of June 23, 2013 and I have a lot of big things in the works for promotion (blog features, fashion shows etc.) and I will definitely keep you all posted on all that I am doing.

Check out a few shots from the shoot below:

And remember, RAD! is life! :)

Throwback Thursday

I posted this picture on Instagram Thursday for Throwback Thursday and it filled me with joy. These are some of the first pieces I made. I never get tired of looking at my work and when people respond to my work positively and ask when I'm opening up the shop or if they can buy my products now, my heart swells. What started out as a hobby, something to pass the time, and a way for me to have the jewelry I imagined in my head is now going to make me my living. I have complete confidence in RAD! as a boutique, accessories company, and styling company. Thank you all for following me on my journey and I cannot wait for you all to see all that I have in store.

RAD! Life

The Gunmetal Choker

I haven't made a piece of jewelry in forever so I was eager to get back to making pieces and to see if I still had it.

Despite only having my wire cutters (all of my jewelry pliers have mysteriously gone missing), I was able to complete this choker. Once I go buy some new pliers I will make it a little tighter so that it sits on my actual neck and looks more "choker" like.

The Gunmetal Choker will be available for sale when The RAD Shop opens!

Fitting Room Chronicles

On Saturday, I headed out to run a few errands. My work schedule and the boutique have been keeping me so busy that I'm I rarely have time to go out anywhere much less get dressed up.

So when I realized that I was in desperate need of groceries and tired of opening up the refrigerator every 15 minutes like food would magically appear, I chose this ensemble.

Sheer long sleeve shirt, leather/mesh leggings, and an ankle strap wedge. I added a few simple pieces of jewelry and then I was on my way.
