Autumn Equinox

Happy Autumn Everyone!

Fall is my all time FAVORITE season.

I love too many things about it to even begin.

I have been neglecting this little Cup of T…oops!

I will try to keep it simple & sweet.

Ok well just one thing I love about this season...socks!

First things first, TRUST Fall21014 launched.

The Barre Collection is designed by you!

Offering customized hand stamped options.

I have had special orders including zip codes for a cape cod bridal party, roman numeral anniversary dates and some other hilarious words I can't even tell.

I have been wearing Makai…meaning “towards the sea” in Hawaiin. Cause ya’ll know my love for the ocean.

Inside Scoop

Meaning behind the "Barre"

As all Trust Collections represent significant people, places and things in my life…The Barre Collection is named after my love for dance & my recent instructor certification for teaching Barre.

Vintage Head Chains

These Head Chains are flying out the doors of Trust studios! They're already stocked in shops and even making their way in the wedding world. A beautiful bride trust-ed down the aisle last weekend in a Pearl head piece (something like this!)

The head chains have also been styled on many wedding guests (of every size) adding a Classy mixed Boho accessory to their get ups.

“One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.”

Since I grew up in the antique biz sorting through trunks of old costume jewelry, I decided to do something with it. Collected & recycled, I hand select chains from vintage jewelry to create the perfect combo for a one-of-a-kind headpiece.

Inspired by past decades of gypsys, flappers, homemakers and women around the world.

Road Trippin’

VT was good to us!

Just got home from Martha’s Vineyard Fashion Week!

It was an awesome experience to be a part of.

Also, I didn't want to leave the island as usual. Why would a sun chaser like me want to leave the best place to watch a sunset!?

Aqquinah Cliffs...one of my most favorite places in the world to be.

This Saturday, I am honored to be participating in Refinery29's Indie Designer pop-up shop event!

Sunday is the last Love Local Festival of the season...its been real. 'Till next season.

These Trust jewels below made Bib&Tuck's Editors Picks!

PS For anyone wondering who this chika is...

Autumn Equinox

The word equinox means equality in latin representing the equal length of night & day at this time of year.

Following the path of the sun, the world creates balance.

“Balance is not something you can find, it’s something you create.”

Happy New Beginnings!

What’s on your fall bucket list!?

August Grind

I was going to name this post "home stretch" but my September & October are just as slammin’ as this summer has been so it wasn’t an appropriate title. Anyways I'm still on that August grind...

This week the new website launched...thanks to my talented best friend/graphic designer/sister/calibabe Devin!

Check out our new look here.

"One man's trash is another man's treasure."

Head Chains comin’ atcha!

Me & LT trustin' our new head gears!

LT caught me in deep though at our biz meeting with 5 head chains & 0 makeup.

A little multi-tasking...always gotta test your product!

Here is a sneak peek at the Barre Collection!

Meraki: the soul, creativity, or love put into something; the essence of yourself that is put into your work.

It took me a while to decide weather or not to make the letters perfect on these. I decided not to because I'm not perfect, you're not perfect and life's not perfect so here they are...promising imperfection & uniqueness, hand stamped with love.

So many exciting things in the works!
I hope everyone enjoys the last bit of summer and onto a Happy September.
In between the hustle, I took some time with my favorite people...and vino...and a beach bungalo.

Always be grateful for the little things.
