1. To see the rest of this handmade tiara (made by Kuwatani) and many other thoughtful pieces - please visit a very important California Fire Help website where artists and designers like myself have donated pieces to help California wildfire relief charities. The site/web shop/fundraiser was created by caring supportive designers Jess Brown, Molly de Vries and Dana Weitzenberg.

2. A sultry pretty dress by Mary Katrantzou Autumn/Winter 2017 Ready-To-Wear Collection via vogue.co.uk. Picturing this tiara with this dress makes me smile, so snazzy. I’m seeking solace in lighter moments of relief from the chaos and devastation going on with our neighbors North and South of us. I’m beaming with gratitude for those, like the local designers highlighted above and especially for the rescuers and firefighters, who go above and beyond to help others. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Designed and handmade in Marin, California - a lively pin via kuwatani to wear with this Prada spring 2017 ensemble via vogue would create that friendly bit of texture up top to gracefully balance the texture on the skirt. Yes!
