Tie One On and Breathe...

One of my oldest and dearest friends, Ria Ray, designs these cool, spiritual tie-on bracelets that are printed with her mantra poetry. Simple sayings that put a smile on your face and make you forget about your crazy day. My favorite is Surf~ Freedom is Pure. It's certainly how I feel when I'm cresting a wave - freedom and purity- and when I wear it I dream of being on the water again. Ria Ray is an artist, healer, designer, and all-around guru who has come a long way from her NY days selling me fabric when I worked at J. Crew. Check out her web site, www.riaray.com, and read more about her spiritual healing retreats, view her beautiful paintings, and shop for mantra ties. Her ties are also available locally at Fred Segal Santa Monica and Marie Mason Apothecary at the Brentwood Country Mart. So tie one on and breathe...

Old World Charm - Mathieu Beauvoir

Back in my Brooklyn heyday, one of my best shop girls at stacia new york was a petite French gal named Corinne Beauvoir. She charmed the pants off my customers with her delightful smile and beautiful accent. But unfortunately she had another calling and soon moved onto Calypso to do public relations and begin her jewelry designs. Now, in 2007 she has the most exquisite web site (her husband's first web design effort!) showcasing her old world charm pendants, rings, and delicate drop earrings. Her designs were inspired by her jeweler and watchmaker grandfather, Mathieu Beauvoir, hence the name of her new design venture - Mathieu Beauvoir. So I miss my favorite shop girl, Corinne, but I am so happy to introduce her fabulous jewelry line here at Fashion Flock. Click here to view the complete Mathieu Beauvoir collection.
