Salut Left Bank!

Good times at the Left Bank!
I feel like I am at maison when I am at the Left Bank. If you are anywhere near Chicago, it is a must see. Susan (lovely blonde, inbetween "the boys") has created not just a perfect boutique, but a perfect experience. It was her 13th year of having The Left Bank! She invited me for a trunk show to celebrate their 13th birthday! We had cupcakes and cosmos! Good time! I worked with many wonderful brides! Here is a bride-to-be who will be getting married in St. Lucia in a Nicole Miller dress with gorgeous MEG Jewelry (yes, I was married in St. Lucia in a Nicole Miller dress, and MEG Jewelry)!

I love Beth....isn't she gorgeous!

A week of frolic and fun in Minneapolis and Chicago!

The Boys (Leo and Alby) designers for the amazing line Garnette Avenue (www.garnetteavenue.com), flew in from Milan. We were able to meet up in Minneapolis for a few days. We spent some time with our good friends at The Loft (www. theloftbridal.com). We then hooked back up in Chicago, where we stayed with our good friend Marina. Marina is the fantastic designer for World Weaver (www.world-weaver.com). In Chicago, I was fortunate to spend the weekend at a trunk show with The Left Bank. (www.leftbankjewelry.com).

"The Boys are back in town"

This is Ms. Omaha, Alexis Geist. I believe this week, she will be crowned MS. Nebraska. She gets my vote!

The elegant ladies of Ellyne Bridal, blowing kisses!

Kute Kendra and Dean

I think the best part of having my company is all of the fantastic people I meet along the way. Kendra and Dean are two of those amazing people. Kendra works for The Knot (we LOVE The Knot). She and Dean are getting married in August...Check out the ring! We were able to meet with them, for some seafood and libations, on our way to a trunk show. Thanks for the fun night Kendra and Dean!

Lovely ladies in MEG Jewelry

This breathtaking couple were featured in newspaper in Cali. She bought her MEG Jewelry at the Stephanie James Couture Boutique in Huntington Beach, CA.

This is Emily. She was a wonderful bride that I worked with at Ellyne Bridal, last fall. The Emily hair jewelry is named after her. Beautiful woman on the inside and out!

Fabulous Liz, at Essence of Australia, wore MEG Jewelry on her big day! Gorgeous lady!

I'm Back!

Yes, I am finally back on the blog...I have been travelling to trunk shows for the past 2 months, and have a weekend at home (time to design!). I have had so much fun and creativity working with many fabulous brides! If you are one of those brides...thanks so much for travelling to the trunk shows! I have a few photos of brides that have gotten their jewelry from MEG Jewelry. I will post those next. I also have many trunk show photos....stay tuned!

Fun day at the Chicago Bridal Trade Show!

Here is the tremendous threesome at the Chicago Trade Show. You know me, my perfect husband, and introducing the woman behind the madness...Ms. Nicole! She is the best office manager a designer can have! One of us decided on longer hair and one of us went shorter! Hair a la carte, www.hairalacarte.com, fortunately had a booth next to us, at the show. Nicole was able to be fit with some pretty fab hair extensions. Me, on the other hand, decided to change my hair, due to the "feel" of my creativity. I had just finished my new European fashion line called Eur*Girl! It is very chic and girly fashion line. I decided I wanted a Betty Paige look. Keep your eye open for the new Eur*Girl line! If I do say so myself...it is AMAZING! It'll be up on the website in about a month.

Gorgeous ladies at The Left Bank

These two beautiful ladies work at the chic-est store in Chicago, The Left Bank. This picture is at Susan (aka Mrs. Metropolis') wedding (she is the owner of this lovely french-inspired boutique). These two gorgeous ladies are Judy and Beth (who is wearing Hannah Kristen necklace). I am looking forward to my next trunk show at the Left Bank on May 2,3,4. Come and see us! www.leftbankjewelry.com

We appreciate the peacocks!

Mother Nature is the bomb! Look at these beautiful peacocks! These two peacocks are Teri and Mike Boardman's "kids". Every season they molt, and kindly donate their feathers to MEG Jewelry. If you have great taste, and wear a MEG Jewelry peacock feather hair jewelry, you have these two to thank!

Vowed in Elegance trunk show 4 years and running!

This is my fourth year hanging out with the fun and fantastic Vowed in Elegance boutique in Mankato, MN. www.vowedinelegance.com. The name says it all! Kristi Owner pictured) will not let you walk out the door feeling and looking like a million bucks! There was one BIG difference at this trunk show...a very cool little boy named Carter! Last year's trunk show Kristi was VERY pregnant...and now there was a cute little guy that I got to meet! I wish I would have gotten a picture. I was able to capture a picture of this beautiful and super fun bride, who we dected out in some beautiful jewels.

BlueGrass Bride

so, I have found my home away from home at BlueGrass Bride www.bluegrass-bride.com! Fell in love with every ounce of this great boutique, people, and town! I ADORE Calhoun and Megan who work at BlueGrass Bride! Did I happen to mention Laila....she is the pretty lady with four legs...she's a lover- adopted by Calhoun who saved her from a very abusive lifestyle. Now Laila lives in the lap of luxury as she is a constant wedding consultant at the boutique. This beautiful couture boutique will make you feel right at home, and like you are the only bride in the world. It is in Lexington, KY and it just opened in Nov. Can't wait till my next trunk show with them!

Thanks Anna Be

I truelly enjoy my time at Anne Be bridal and design studio in Denver, CO. www.anne-be.com. The cool chics that own and work at Anne Be are like cool sisters! Love working/hanging out with them. See Jordan the manager hanging with soul sista Meg. Did I mention that the boutique is as chic as they come? And the dresses? mmmm... Good stuff all around. Here is a bride-to-be who agrees with me. I had lots of fun with this couple! I love when Husbands-to-be take an active role in the wedding planning. This couple has it go'n on! And now she has gorgeous jewelry!

Hip Hip Hurray- Soiree!

A night out in L.A.

Are you asking "who are these two gorgeous woman?". On the left is the one and only Mrs. Stephanie Kennedy! That is correct! Fabulous designer for Stephanie James Couture! www.stephaniejamescouture.com. And the lovely Troy from Amaya Dylan Bridal Gallery in L.A. After our trunk show at The Loft Bridal and Design, we jetsetted to L.A. for a trunk show at Amaya Dylan Bridal Gallery. Our good friend Stephanie came out to meet us for dinner and laughs.
