Our jewelry collection is in full bloom right now! See a few snaps from a recent Sweet & Spark photoshoot below, I loved styling our vintage statement earrings with our new selection of Spring apparel. Our clothing assortment this season is filled with eyelet tops, the most fabulous floral tunic and lace camis in pretty colors like soft marine and dusty rose.

Each season at Sweet & Spark I get to design the creative themes, color palettes and photoshoots. I begin by creating mood boards filled with inspiring imagery and layout ideas for Jillian and I to refer back to when buying the jewelry and apparel. Inspiration research is a key part of kicking off each season, I can remember falling in love with the process at my first job out of school designing jewelry for Marc Jacobs. I would spend hours at the library scanning old magazines and, surprise surprise... vintage shopping!
Having grown up antique shopping with my mom I was used to buying things I liked to wear, but vintage shopping for design inspiration trained me for buying seasonal themes. It has been so rewarding to combine my love for vintage with my design background into Sweet & Spark, which is why I want to start sharing a little bit more behind what goes into creating each season on my blog. For Spring, we focused on florals and pastels, both of which were pretty common themes throughout the 1950s and 1960s. For an added touch of Springtime nature, we also focused on collecting critters like butterflies, frogs, caterpillars and bumble bees.

These vintage brooches are pretty enough to eat.. See a few snaps from a recent Sweet & Spark photoshoot below, I loved styling our vintage brooches on our bell sleeve jacket and funnel neck sweater. The mix of pinks, blues and gold jewels was so dreamy, by far one of my favorite brooch collections we have curated.

Sweet treats and all things pink!
We have been overwhelmed from the success of our Vintage Designer Jewelry launch at Sweet & Spark, especially by all those fellow Chanel lovers out there! We are already busy hunting down more hidden gems to re-stock this special collection. I had so much fun working with Jillian to hand select each authentic piece, we saw so many beautiful estates and collections along the way.
These were some of my favorite snaps I took from the launch this Spring, each piece is so gorgeous in person and has so much history to share. I'm thinking about creating a post about authenticating vintage Chanel jewelry, but in the meantime you can read my posts for Where to Buy Vintage Chanel, How to Buy Vintage Chanel, and where I like to shop for Vintage Chanel in New Orleans.
