Countdown to Gatsby: Neo Flapper

A sneak peek of things to come...

"Her face was sad and lovely with bright things in it, bright eyes and a bright passionate mouth, but there was an excitement in her voice that men who had cared for her found difficult to forget: a singing compulsion, a whispered "Listen," a promise that she had done gay, exciting things just a while since and that there were gay, exciting things hovering in the next hour." 

- F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

The Great Gatsby hits theaters in less than 2 days. Are you ready?

Something Sweet Recap

Saturday September 29th was possibly the most exciting day for Honey Cooler Handmade yet. My trunk show, Something Sweet, was a smashing success. Without my lovely hostess and high school friend Anna, my college friend Josh from Charm School Chocolates, and my SF pal Kristen from What About Phoenix, Something Sweet wouldn't have been possible. Thank you to everyone who came out to support us!

Missed this one? Never fear. More east coast trunk shows are on the horizon. Stay informed with my events page, and sign up for the newsletter to stay on top of all things HCH!

Fashion Love Affair: Aurélie Bidermann Demeter Necklace

It's a rare occasion to come across uber high-end jewelry that channels out one's inner milkmaid.

Aurélie Bidermann's 18k gold plated Demeter necklace has only been on Net-A-Porter for a few days and it's already sold out. And it's not hard to see why. Take a peek for yourself!

From Net-A-Porter:

Add Grecian-inspired opulence to a chic evening portfolio with Aurélie Bidermann's 18-karat gold-plated necklace. Showcase the striking engraved ear of wheat adornments against a jewel-toned gown, sweeping your hair up for added glamour.

Here's how I see this going down: Demeter Necklace + milkmaid braid + red lips = perfection. And with a $2225 price tag for this gem, what you choose to wear below the necklace won't even matter!
