sweet william: barbie jewelry for grown-ups.

barbie jewelry for grown-ups.

when someone at work asked me if i had seen the latest post on treehugger about barbie jewelry, the only thing i could picture was that jewelry you got when you bought special edition barbie dolls. i did not expect to see beautiful, well-crafted, creative piece like these by margaux lange. some may find these a bit creepy, but i think they are amazing. if i dared, i would go straight to my parent's house and cut apart all my barbies. however, i don't think mine would turn out quite the same.

In a world inundated by high-end and over-priced glamour and fashion, Ashley Jordan has successfully created a niche in the creative fashion industry that allows for anyone looking to shop on a dime look like a million bucks.

Starting originally as a thirty-day photo diary where Ashley challenged herself not to wear the same outfit more than once for a month without buying anything new, Sweet William has since emerged into a fashion and creative sounding board for Ashley to discuss new and old trends, ideas for piecing together used clothes for newer outfits, and tips for shopping for the look you want at a price you can afford.

The idea for Sweet William, the name, came primarily from the flower that is its name sake. But Ashley points out that the flower also draws a lot of parallels to her influence and style when it comes to design, noting that Sweet William represents organic, change, growth, and natural in both name and in design. In addition, Ashley says that above all else, the biggest inspiration for the name Sweet William comes from her grandfather, William, whom she admired greatly and was significantly influenced by.
