I was truly hoping to showcase my new collection; however, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, I had to postpone my scheduled photo shoot. It’s not all bad news; however, as this means more time than ever to source some beautiful findings and embellishments. As they say, good things come to those who wait. Who would have thought we would be experiencing the current climate and faced with this pandemic which has literally stopped the world in its tracks? On a positive note, I have found myself reflecting and focusing on what truly matters in life. Thankfully, I have been able to keep my job, while many have not been so fortunate. I have also had the opportunity to spend time planning and designing my new jewellery studio and tidying up my inventory. My family is safe and well, and to be honest, my initial fears of how life during Covid-19 would be, have diminished. Looking back and reflecting on my designing journey is always a pleasurable experience and the collection I am sharing with you this season is a dear favourite. I will be honest in saying that my designing style has taken quite a change in direction since this particular collaboration; however, it is always important to look back at how far you have come. The seaside village of Scarborough Beach was a place where I often enjoyed spending my time before moving back to my hometown, Toowoomba. The beaches were calm and picturesque and quite often deserted—the perfect place to relax and unwind.

I had a desire to plan a wedding collaboration with a relaxed, bohemian feel. During the initial planning, an enthusiastic designer reached out to me with the invitation of collaborating with her unique fashion designs. Not only did Bohemian Luxe have wedding gowns, but they also designed some very unique clothing. Without hesitation, I accepted the invitation and began working on jewellery designs to marry with their amazing label.
