Amazing bags that my amazing friend, Cheryl Cambras, created for the ERMIE 2012 Collection 1. 

Cheryl named the bags after Goddesses from ancient Celtic Mythology. Says Cambras, "As I made each one, I thought of the ancient stories of these creative and strong women, and how they understood that the world we live in carries that which is most sacred."

 The bags are made entirely by Cheryl. The Anu and Rhiannon Bags are one of a kind, the Edain Clutches will be available in limited editions. Please click on individual photos for more information!

Accessory

Accessories are important. 

They should add to, but never overpower an outfit. Accessories can make a look by complementing and enhancing the beauty of the wearer and the worn. 

...

I was so fortunate on this shoot to have access to such exceptional accessories. Objects of beauty in their own right; they provided the perfect foil to the looks I developed for this collection. From Beatrice Valenzuela's citrus-colored Combinado's & Kathryn Bentley's golden & rainbow-hued cuffs, rings and pendants, to the quirky honesty of Vanessa Samp's mixed- media necklaces, and the handcrafted perfection of Cheryl Cambras' bags... it was such fun to play with them all!

Loving the Myrtle June Lookbook! A couple of ERMIE Dresses are featured- the Dolman Sleeve Yarn Print Dress in Mojave (2nd dress from the right, first image) and the Prism Print Double Hem Sundress in UltraViolet (far right, 2nd image). 

You really should view the lookbook in it's entirety--so inspired, playful and lighthearted. There is also a fun behind the scenes video!

Thank you Whitney, for including my work in such a fun shoot!

 

 

Somewhat Myrtle related, and most definitely a June Bloom (Jenny is always the picture of loveliness!!)- a photo from Wikstenmade's Instagram (follow: wikstenmade) : Jenny Gordy wearing the ERMIE After Party Print Tank Dress, and looking amazing.

Ladies--there are a few very similar dresses left in this print at Myrtle!! Contact:  shopmyrtle (at) gmail (dot) com for more info :)

I do also adore the Odette/ Wiksten Collab Ossa Necklace as worn by Ms. Gordy in this photo. Braided deerskin with Textured Brass-- It looks stunning on it's own, but I have to admit, I LOVE how it looks paired with my print. Officially at the top of my wishlist!

Happy Weekend all. Get ready- The ERMIE look book shoot for Collection One, 2012 is on Monday!
