Designer Highlight: JoMarie Jewelry / Win a Pair of Earrings! $50 Value!

I always find it inspirational when people can both make and stick to their New Year’s Resolutions. Whether it’s learning French, toning up, or deciding to get back into the dating world, a new year is the opportune time to change your life. But is it a time to completely alter your life and follow your passions? Jodie Vieira from JoMarie Jewelry thinks so!

JoMarie Jewelry designer Jodie Vieira

Vieira possesses degrees in both Accounting and Business Administration, but was apprehensive about following an arts and design-related career. Although she admits she followed the sensible career path in accounting, the art classes she took in college “were hands down my favorite.” Vieira says it took her a while to find her creative medium and the confidence to change her life. So, on New Year’s Eve, Vieira spent her last day working as an Accountant for a prestigious Fortune 500 Company to pursue her creative dream as a jewelry designer. The designer admits it was a “tough decision” to quit her job, and a decision she had to think about long and hard. Ultimately, she wasn’t happy in the world of accounting and wanted a career in which she could express her creative side. Vieira discussed the decision with her husband and they decided “my sanity was more important than a steady paycheck” (most supportive husband ever, right!?!). The designer also knows she is fortunate to be in a position that allows her to follow her dreams. She confesses, “So far it’s been amazing, I now have the time to expand my line, take additional classes to learn new skills, and live a more balanced life.”   

The designer began making her creations about seven years ago. She explains that although at first it was a hobby, she began wearing her own pieces and giving them as gifts to both friends and family. During this time, her jewelry making took a back burner to her accounting career, “but my love for it was rekindled a couple of years ago when I began making jewelry for my friends’ weddings.”

Long Dramatic Champagne Pearl Earrings - $37

Vieira says, “JoMarie Jewelry evolved organically from my own personal jewelry needs.  As I made earrings, necklaces, and bracelets to compliment my own wardrobe and wore them out, I found that people really responded well to them.  I was soon taking orders and decided to launch my own line.” JoMarie Jewelry features three collections: Timeless, Rock, and Bliss.

The Timeless collection is “geared towards everyday wear that is effortlessly chic and beautiful” and features necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. The latest Timeless collection, as featured on the designer’s etsy site, boasts an assortment of pearls, shells, corals, and amethyst with color pallets of silver, sweet pink, grape, turquoise, and chartreuse green.   While one pendant necklace will set you back $145, the rest of the line is an affordable $15 to $65 per piece. (Vieira also feels Taylor Swift would be a perfect representative to sport this line because of her classic beauty and elegant style.)

Turquoise and Pearls necklace - $65

Exquisite vintage turquoise is paired with freshwater pearls to create this casual yet classic bohemian style necklace.

The Rock collection features “edgier and more dramatic” pieces, and is “the type of jewelry you wear out on the town when you want to have a good time.” The Rock collection also features earrings, necklaces, and bracelets and ranges from $16 to $55. With a color pallet of pearl white, silver, black, and turquoise, these pieces will be sure to compliment any outfit.

Dramatic Chain Earrings - $24

Several chains form dramatic metallic tassels that hang from a silver plated hand crafted ear hook, finished off with small black crystal squares.

Lastly, the Bliss collection is a wedding line, “classically beautiful but with modern twists.” This collection mostly features pearl earrings, necklaces, and bracelets that would add an elegant touch to any bride’s gown. Jewelry from this line costs $15 to $219. The designer’s most fabulous jewelry moment also came from the Bliss collection, when a friend of Vieira’s wore a pair of pearl earrings on her wedding day. The designer says, “It is a huge honor for a bride to choose to wear one of your designs on the most important day of her life.” 

Brooch with Pearls necklace - $195

A statement piece, this stunning bridal necklace is made with over one hundred freshwater pearls that dangle and twist on one side of a Monet brooch offset by simple layered chains on the other side. This beautiful necklace is the perfect balance of vintage style with a modern twist.

 

The JoMarie Jewelry design aesthetic is simple, effortlessly elegant, and understandably chic. Vieira says women who wear her jewelry are sophisticated and confident, appreciating beauty and art “whether it be in nature, on a canvas, or in the clothes and accessories she wears. She is fresh and modern, and has an overall stylish and chic appeal to her.”

So, where does Vieira find her inspiration? Everything, she says, although most of her inspiration comes directly from the materials she works with. “I can spend hours pouring over beads, stones, and findings; imagining the possibilities.  I believe that to have truly wonderful pieces you must start with quality materials.  I am also inspired when I see a new outfit; I like to imagine what jewelry would make it pop.” Vieira also began working on a new project called 100 Earrings in 100 Days, where, just like it sounds, the designer creates 100 new pair of earrings for 100 days straight. Although challenging, Vieira says it’s important to get out of your comfort zone with designs and even ask for help, if necessary. For example, a recently necklace design was created because a Facebook fan suggested it!

Plum Pom Earrings - $28

The designer plans to continue expanding her line, possibly adding a fourth and bohemian look. She also wants to add rings and cuffs to the merchandise mix, once she sets up silversmithing in her studio.

So, when she’s not making hand-crafted jewelry, where can you find this designer around town? Vieira loves the Germantown streusel at Germantown Café, the truffles at the Cocoa Tree, Friday martini’s at Sambuca, the Arryington Vineyard, and Bicentennial Mall (where her husband proposed). Her two favorite bands are Kings of Leon and Jypsi, and her favorite designers are Vera Wang, Jessica Simpson (shoes), and Michael Kors for his clean and classic silhouettes.

As a final thought, the designer says, “I want people to know how much care, energy, and emotion goes into each one of my pieces.  Not only when I create the design, but every time I fulfill an order.  I pour myself into my jewelry, and I think that shows through in the final product. I even include a handwritten note and piece of chocolate with each order.” Adorable!!

Livia Firth Rocks Prophetik at the Golden Globes

Congratulations to Jeff Garner of Prophetik, whose eco-friendly design was worn by Italian film producer and wife of Colin Firth, Livia Firth at the latest Golden Globe Awards. It makes my heart proud to see a Tennessee-based designer’s work being showcased on the Red Carpet! Firth was taking part in the ‘Green Carpet Challenge’, an initiative to incorporate eco-friendly/sustainable pieces into her wardrobe.

Exclusive preparation photos:

Love this shot of Livia, Colin, and Jeff!!

Livia rocking the eco-friendly Prophetik look on the Red Carpet...

I love the silhouette and beautiful draping.

How sweet is he?!

I actually had a student intern for Prophetik for several months, and reading her internship journal was a true delight. I loved hearing about the tasks she accomplished, and how the team really integrated her into the company for optimal learning experiences. I’m so glad she had the opportunity to work with such a well-known and greatly respected company.

Here is a little information about the Prophetik design philosophy as detailed on the company’s website:

“My desire is to not just get people to come to a Charity event or go on a missions or service trip but to be truly engaged with self allowing the heart of giving and serving to lead one in life rather than being another event or feel good moment but a constant, not based on condition. Understanding the heart: When you understand, you cannot help but love. You cannot get angry. To develop understanding, you have to practice looking at all living beings with the eyes of compassion. When you understand, you cannot help but love. And when you love, you naturally act in a way that an relieve the suffering of people.

The Sustainable Journey: A meaningful analysis and evaluation of any product’s relationship to the environment must include a broad array of criteria including low-impact production, low-impact maintenance, and its classification as recyclable, reusable or incineratable. Primary considerations are low impact on plant and animal life, conservation of limited resources, and waste minimization….Jeff Garner

Here is the press release on Firth and Prophetik:

FOR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION:

LIVIA FIRTH WEARS PROPHETIK BY JEFF GARNER TO THE GOLDEN GLOBE AWARDS AS PART OF THE 'GREEN CARPET CHALLENGE'

January 16, 2011: Livia Firth wore a Prophetik by Jeff Garner gown as part of the 'Green Carpet Challenge' to the 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards on January 16, 2011 in Los Angeles, California. Livia Firth chose a beautiful strapless gown made from Tussah silk and hemp that was dyed with Garner's own indigo plant. 

Livia Firth worked directly with Jeff Garner, whose Prophetik label is admired internationally for both its values and its sartorial elegance. ‘When I went to the Prophetik catwalk at London Fashion Week last September with Laura Bailey (model and fellow eco queen), we both loved the romance of Jeff Garner’s gowns. There is nothing granola or worthy about the way they look,’ Firth says.

Livia also appreciates the way Garner is able to approach ‘problems in the fashion chain, such as the heavy chemical pollution associated with dying, and come up with a considered response. His understanding of ecologically intelligent fabrics and processes is extraordinary, as is his respect for the natural world.’

Since the Tennessee based line Prophetik launched eight years ago, designer Jeff Garner has been a romantic visual artist, pioneer, and unconventional designer. His sustainable, organic label Prophetik is on a path of transformation, leading the evolution of fashion and changing our perception of luxury. Jeff Garner was recently named "2010 Eco Men's Designer of the Year" during London Fashion week.

Gus Mayer presents Reem Acra Trunk Show: January 20-21, 2011

January 20-21, 2011, Gus Mayer at the Mall at Green Hills will be presenting a Reem Acra trunk show featuring the Fall 2011 eveningwear collections. 

I need an occasion to wear both of these pieces asap.

If you're unfamiliar with Reem Acra, get familiar. The garments are exquisite, detailed, and embody the word ‘glamour’. Here is a little about the Reem Acra philosophy of design as detailed on the company website:

With an insatiable desire for luxurious fabrics, texture, rich color and anything made by hand, Reem Acra’s exquisite pieces exude her own innate sense of style and love of fashion. The designer’s collections are a direct reflection of her design philosophy that poetically combines her appreciation for the traditional and classic with the modern fashion needs of today’s woman of style. Reem Acra’s creations particularly appeal to women who are looking for glamour and sophistication for the most significant moments. Technical acumen, tremendous creativity, and attention to detail are the overriding principles that Reem Acra combines when approaching her design.

Weekend Update

This past weekend was filled with fashion adventures... Saturday night I hit up both the Local Honey Grand Opening Party and the RAW Nashville Launch Party and Meet and Greet. Sunday ended my quest to find the perfect black booties.

If you weren’t able to attend the Local Honey party Saturday, you definitely need to check out the new digs. The new location boasts three large rooms filled with vintage and local designer goodies and are spacious enough for LH owners to offer you a wider selection of unique merchandise the store is famous for. The back room, which now houses men’s goodies brought to you by Tidwell & Perryman, made me wish I knew the shoe size of any male in my life. The selection of men’s boots was out of control. Seriously. Of course, I accidently left my camera at home Saturday night so I can’t share pictures with you, but I highly suggest you take yourself or your man to LH and snatch up a pair or two of these delicious finds. Vintage worn-in leather boots can easily enhance the wardrobe of any man.

I ended up purchasing a simplistic vintage gold necklace (pictured below) that I can’t wait to pair with my statement faux fur coat I purchased at a New York H&M this past January. I also tried on an interesting pale pink sheer hand-painted dress Saturday night, but unfortunately wasn’t feeling the piece on me.

I mingled at LH, sipping 8^th grade-style punch and pursuing the racks for about a half an hour before I had to head out to my second stop- the RAW Nashville Launch Party and Meet and Greet.

 This event took place in the back room of Mercy Lounge and when I arrived at 7:30, the place was starting to fill up with local independent artists. After picking my jaw up off the floor after being charged $3.00 for an ill-tasting diet coke, I mingled with a few folks, listening to their artistic journeys and visions.

$3.00.. seriously?

RAW had previously contacted me, wanting to conduct an interview to gain some insights on the Nashville fashion industry. I agreed to the interview and an organizer gave me a heads up on what it would entail: a discussion of what I do, how social media has affected/influenced my passions, and the RAW movement in general. Well, I’m not sure the message got translated to the interviewer, because none of those topics were hit! After a chat about my interests, I was asked to give advice to emerging fashion designers, discuss the growth of the Nashville fashion industry, etc. I had to leave after the interview (which took place outside in the cold because it was too loud indoors) to meet a friend for dinner.

Sunday was filled with shopping adventures. I hit up 21^st Ave., where my first stop was Pangaea. I wish I could say I found oodles of unique accessories, a cute dress, and some kitschy home décor, but the tiny store was so crowded, I gave up on my hunt and left after a few minutes. There are only so many times you can say “Excuse me”, squeezing past people and literally stepping on toes, in a given time period before surrendering. My second stop was Posh.

Apparently Posh is having a sale- 15% off all clearance merchandise. I found this out today when I looked at their Facebook page. There were no signs indicating of an additional sale, and no sales associates told me. I do love the Posh sale section, though. I can usually find a couple of interesting pieces that I can’t wait to wear to work or to my usual watering holes. Sunday, however, I just wasn’t feeling it. I attempted to find a new black dress, but the lighting was so poor in the back room, I had to literally take each garment off the rack, turn my body, and hold it up to random light in order to actually see its details. I’m a pretty big fan of retail lighting anyways, but it’s important to make sure your customers can actually see your clothes! Functionality is key. I tried on a few pieces and ultimately decided to leave with empty hands.

I stopped by a few more stores, and eventually ended up at the Marshall’s on Lebanon Pike. Sometimes I forget about Marshall’s and T.J. Maxx, but I usually have luck at these places. And on Sunday, my request for the perfect black bootie ended. I found a pair of leather Vince Camuto black booties (listed for $99.99 on the VC website) marked down twice from $79.99 to $32.00. Score!

I ended up wearing these that night for drinks at my local dive, pairing them with black BCBG leggings, an oversized black crop top, and an Indian-inspired necklace previously purchased from Pangaea.

Now that my fashion weekend is over, I’m gearing up for next weekend’s events… Don’t forget about  Dinner with your Dog and Sassy Elegance, both being held next Saturday.

Shop & Sip: January 25, 2011

I love the Belcourt Theatre. Late September, I attended the fashionable nD Festival  showcasing the latest designs from fashion heavy hitters Alabama Chanin, Billy Reid, and Imogene + Willie. It was incredible and so much fun. (Read about the event here, or event review here.)

I have seen so many wonderful films at the indie theatre, including the very fashionable Coco Before Chanel, starring the exquisite Audrey Tautou as a young Gabrielle. I about lost myself after watching Valentino: The Last Emperor shortly after moving to Nashville.

The Belcourt is dynamic and has more character than most theatres in Nashville. I have a soft spot in my heart for the Belcourt. And apparently, so does Stacey Rhodes, owner of Stacey Rhodes boutique.

Rhodes will be hosting Shop & Sip, a fashionable event where 10% of all proceeds will benefit the Belcourt Theatre. The event will be held January 25, 2011 from 5:00 to 8:00 pm at the Stacey Rhodes Boutique in Brentwood (144 Franklin Road). Here are the details according to the Facebook invite:

The Oscar® nominations will be announced on the morning of January 25th. Join us for wine & shopping that evening at Stacey Rhodes Boutique in Brentwood (144 Franklin Road) to continue all the buzz about the nominees. 10% of the proceeds from the evening will be donated to The Belcourt. Stacey & her staff are SURE to make you red carpet ready! It’s a perfect chance to get your dress or accessories for Oscar Night ® America at The Belcourt theatre (2/27). You can also purchase something for Valentine’s or just something to make you feel beautiful to beat the winter blues! Event is FREE, but donations to The Belcourt will be accepted.

RSVP to Facebook here. And if you would like to buy me the dress below featured on Stacey Rhodes website, please do. I look good in black and sequins.

Launch of All Most Famous

Congratulations to Danielle Kimmey and Britt Johnson of All Most Famous- a new independent fashion marketing, sales and comprehensive representation for Nashville fashion designers. Be sure to check them out and keep updated on the ventures of AMF. Below is the press release regarding their launch.

Britt and Danielle of AMF.  

There is a new kid in town! It is with great excitement that I announce the launch of All Most Famous, independent fashion marketing, sales and comprehensive representation.

As many of many of you know, my background is in music, but my passion for fashion runs deep. I am constantly on the lookout for the newest, latest and most creative clothing. Over the years I have encountered many talented designers who want to begin a label but are they are not sure how to get their product to the public. There are others who have already found success but they desire to take their brand to the next level. As a musical artist, there are many avenues to help: record labels, management, booking agents, distributors, etc. So I thought, “Why not create a new business model that gives fashion and accessory designers the same type of support available for musicians?” And that is how All Most Famous was born.

We exist to create great opportunities for independent fashion and accessory designers. We do this through the means of public relations, marketing strategies, branding, and wholesale to boutiques.  I have partnered with Britt Johnson – an expert in the marketing and public relations field – and together we have created a company that will help introduce some of the best design talent in the country.

Joining our ever-growing roster are the talents of:
 Tidwell and Perryman, a Nashville based clothing line that focuses on creating a look that fits every man and woman’s unique personality and lifestyle. Tidwell and Perryman’s premiere home, Local Honey, will soon open in a new location in Nashville at 2009 Belmont Blvd where they will have double the inventory in both women and men’s collections. They can also be found at Fanny's House of Music in historical East Nashville.
 Concrete Response, a timeless reaction to city currents. With industrial undertones, there is a strong emphasis on raw materials and refined silhouettes. Being heavily influenced by the concept of the modern time traveler, Concrete Response's head designer Justin Wootton introduces color pallets and stories that transition from day to night and subtle detailing that allows each garment to transition from season to season.
 J&HP, coming from New York to California to their new home in Nashville, J&HP is redefining what it means to create vintage inspired apparel. Within a year and a half of origination, they have set the internet community ablaze by creating beautifully tailored, limited quantity, affordable clothing.

For more information on All Most Famous, please visit our new website www.allmostfamousonline.com.

We are continuously on the search for the latest emerging clothing designer and fashion trends.  If you are an upcoming designer and would like to partner with us, please submit photos of your work, along with additional information about yourself and your life to allmostfamousonline@gmail.com.
