it's a new dawn; it's a new day

I initially started this blog to be a interior design blog, writing about designs, furniture, and accessories that inspired me, but the more I think about it the more I realize that that is only one facet of art & design that I love.  When I think of art & design I think of: fashion, interiors, paintings, sculptures, graphics, hair, makeup, photography, and even event planning.  All of these fields have related and unrelated aspects and all of these fields appeal to me.  Sooo.....I am going to start writing about any and all of these things.  I feel that it will make for a much more interesting blog and I will have more fun writing it! 

That said I already have TONS of new things that I want to write about so be looking for lots of new posts! :) 

Today I to tell everyone about Sleeveless.  If you've never heard of Sleeveless you need to read this post. 

Hook & Chain

Sleeveless is an amazing line of accessories from gorgeous leather cuffs with chain detailing to necklaces, earrings (the first pair were worn at the Golden Globes this year), and even laptop satchels.  Sleeveless is based out of Nashville  at 1201 Villa Place, Suite 101 (check out the full list of stores they are in on their website- wearsleeveless.com).  

Clockworks

These accessories  are quickly becoming a staple in a lot of celebrities wardrobes.  Kellie Pickler was seen wearing a Sleeveless necklace at the CMT Awards, Darius Rucker wore a Sleeveless cuff on the cover of his Charleston, SC 1966 album cover, Amy Grant has worn a pair of their earrings, they have also been featured in several print ads.

I have had the pleasure of visiting their Nashville store and seeing these amazing pieces in person and I have to say they are even more stunning in person. I love love love the mix of leathers, metal, rhinestones, and sometimes burlap.  The combination of these materials is what makes the pieces to interesting!   Someday I will own a piece! :)
