What's NEW ? ? ?

The Graffiato Collection !!! Is HERE !  It has been hand carved from wax + is cast using the lost wax casting process in your choice of Solid Bronze or Sterling Silver, made specially for YOU  >  >

The inspiration for this collection came from my growing love for street art and graffiti. As I've slowly began traveling the world I've come to recognize the works of many street artists and as I've become more familiar, I've discovered how much I love being on a completely different side of the globe and finding someone's work I recognize. That contradictory feeling of the familiar and the unfamiliar colliding is amazing. 



We're all here trying to leave little pieces of "us" + the Graffiato Collection was created as a reminder to scratch away your name in everything you do, to leave your mark in this beautiful world.

Made in New York City. Conceptualized from across the world.

Each piece is made to order and unique.  PLACE YOUR ORDER HERE :)  If you have any questions regarding sizing or need help with figuring out your ring size leave a comment below + I'll get you fixed up in no time :)


  
Where does the word GRAFFIATO come from?? Both "graffiti" and its occasional singular form "graffito" are from the Italian word graffiato meaning "scratched." Graffiti is writing or drawings that have been scribbled, scratched, or sprayed illicitly on a wall or other surface, often in a public place.  Graffiti ranges from simple written words to elaborate wall paintings, and it has existed since ancient times, with examples dating back to Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, and the Roman Empire.  Graffiti is applied in art history to works of art produced by scratching a design into a surface. A related term is sgraffito, which involves scratching through one layer of pigment to reveal another beneath it.

my return to the blogosphere.

Holy Moly! My last post was in January?! Boy, does time fly, especially when you're having fun and working so much you don't even have time to sleep.  All in a good way though, it's true what they say you know- if you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life.  I know thats easier said than done, as I've worked a lot of jobs (in the short nine years of hustling in the real world) and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have sacrificed my sleep for any of them other than making jewelry, doing something creative/art related or being on set.  That being said, I thought I would get back to blogging.

I hope you've enjoyed your summer and managed to squeeze in some awesomely fun things.  Here's a recap on a portion of the summer for garage gypsy :)

the weekend.

Nothing makes me happier then laughing with friends, enjoying tasty delights, and productivity that combines fun with creativity.  So the last three days come close to perfect.

SATURDAY:  I spent the day making jewelry and prepping for a little sale that would take place on Sunday.  That, along with the weekly apartment cleaning kept me relatively busy.  It sounds relatively boring, but when you're in the zone and you've got good jams playing in the background, I rather enjoy it.  And the best feeling comes at the end of the day when you see all that you've accomplished!

Look of the day.
Classic summer casual. I've been insanely drawn to the classic black and white stripe lately.  It's a very classic French style, but lately I'm a bit obsessed.  I don't mean to be, but I just can't help what I'm drawn to and I refuse to fight it.  I just found this shirt last week and I love it, it just so happens to the fifth b&w striped item of clothing to enter my wardrobe.  This may not be too bizarre for some, but I like variety in my closet, so too much of the same thing is a big red ex for me.  Oh well, the style is different and I'm still loving it, so its all good.

I took a late lunch break and met up at one of my favorite lunch spots, The Food+Lab with a friend.
I decided this isn't my favorite sandwich, but it was still pretty amazing.  Fried and breaded chicken in a sandwich is something I very rarely would ever indulge in now that I'm like a semi-health freak, but the lady working there swore it was the best sandwich (which I disagree), but of course I had to try it..
 Then it was home and back to work..
I was sure to make quite a few of the "viewefinder" Ring that seems to be the hot commodity these days.

SUNDAY: I vended at Space15Twenty from 10 till 4pm where I met some awesome people and got to hang out with friends that were able to stop by and support the garage gypsy..
After all day in the sun, a little tuckered out I decided to have some quite time reading.  I grabbed a yummy salad concoction of my own from Whole Foods and then dropped by Barnes & Noble.  There I spent two hours lightly reading through a couple business books and perusing the French and British fashion magazines.




And then I spent a little time drooling over the Jeffery Campbell shoes at Nordstom.  I'm really digging the Lita shoe, but I'm not sure if I'm willing to give in to the hype.  Buuuut, they are pretty fun in my personal opinion and uber comfy, sooo I might need to make an exception.


MONDAY:  Look of the day.
I rocked the black fedora yet again.  I only toss it on when I don't feel like dealing with my insane mane. Red satin shorts, beige cotton top, leather fringe necklace and my ethnic sandals.



After hitting the gym for a good hour and a half, I cleaned up and decided to head to Starbucks, visit my friend Moni and do some work on my computa.
 My nail art from Sunday :)

Some of my fav Jeff Campbell shoes at the moment..

Summer Stripes

Summer Stripes
Just another Manic Monday at the office. I suppose was feeling rather sunny and whimsical, gravitating me towards the bright colors and summer stripes that have flocked to my closet. I wanted to keep it dainty, so I incorporated my lace skirt from BCBG. I added a beautiful pair of turquoise earrings from Garage Gypsy and exotic necklace to balance out the color. To keep it looking professional I wore my shiny red penny loafers, and tossed my fringy suede bag over my shoulder to bring me back to earth. And off I was..
