STEP OUT WITH ARTEMIS & ILLUMINA

oh how i wish you could feel this leather, it is beyond sensational!

THE ARTEMIS is the embodiment of paired down refinement ...

only what is necessary, only what is beautiful. 

available in many color options in new and re-purposed skins.

take aim, stalk your truth in the latest rif on the hip sling.  

THE ILLUMINA, which is slightly smaller than THE FANETTE,

is still large enough to accommodate a smart phone and all other 

necessities a gal must have at her hip at any time. 

i can attest to THE ILLUMINA'S high performance power when enjoying 

a night out dancing... keep it on you. the belt is removable, thus, it can be used 

on it's own, use THE ILLUMINA as a wallet or clutch... or step out with it all unified. 

i can assure you... you will find her to be an instant soul mate. she is a piece you will use more often than not, knocking that CPW, (cost per wear) down low in now time flat.

SELKIE

deep in the sea there are riches beyond your imagination.

if you seek safety that is on shore.

to find the universal elements enough;

to find the air and the water exhilarating;

to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter...

to be thrilled by the stars at night;

to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring-

these are some of the rewards of the simple life.

COLOR CANDY

just a bit of color candy from a recent photo shoot with dear gina, who is headed today over the sea to egypt to photograph some of the cultural antiquity. 

when you travel, you find yourself

alone in a different way,

more attentive now

to the self you bring along,

your more subtle eye watching 

how what meets you

touches that part of the heart

that lies low at home:

how you unexpectedly attune 

to the timbre in some voice,

opening a conversation

you want to take in

to where your longing

has pressed hard enough

inward, on some unsaid dark,

to create a crystal of insight

you could not have known 

you needed 

to illuminate 

your way. 

when you travel,

a new silence

goes with you,

and if you listen, 

you will hear

what your heart would love to say.
