Who is Ursula?

When I was dreaming up my newest collection, set to release in Monday, March 20th, I wanted to present a contradiction of dark and light.  To me it is a universal truth in our world - that you can't have light without dark and vice versa.  Often times it's a tough pill for many of us to swallow.  Why wouldn't we want to be happy all the time? But I've learned over the years that going through difficult times and situations can make you so much stronger and change your destiny.

Ursula is that evil queen that shows us our mirror image - y'know the one that you don't show anyone? Just like in the Little Mermaid movie, she revels in her naughtiness, in her own self obsession.  But without her would we acknowledge that inner demon? I don't think many of us would. 

So with this collection, of varying pieces and combination of Eilisain elements, such as the crow claw, bird bones, owl talons along with sea shells I went to work with using a bit of everything.  AND I am excited that I got to work with Becky Parker, primarily a lifestyle photographer.  We had fun shooting my friend Dru Lindsay Patrick - with her shock of red hair and sassy attitude. 

We shot looks that had a ethereal quality as well as sublime, moodier looks.  I can't wait to share them with you and especially this month - of the Pisces - it's my favorite time of year.

As always thank you for reading!

Our New Look

So what do you think of our new look? The unveiling of the new website was last week and I've already heard that some of you really love it - it's been several long days of programming but we're so happy it's done!

To explain a bit about the new design, the top portion is an E and L combined.  I did some research and brainstorming with my graphic designer and we both agreed we wanted a look that symbolized the gothic but also dreamy quality of Eilisain. 

The website is still a work in progress: rearranging, making it run efficiently and easy to navigate is my top priority.  I want you to feel like you’re in a jewelry boutique and the website is the person assisting you in making the best purchase - sounds cheesy I know - but in this day and age online shopping is huge!

As always, thank you for reading!
