Happy Thanksgiving!!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Hope you all have a wonderful time with your loved ones!

xoxo JN

ps. blue collection will be up on my etsy site tomorrow ;)

the blue collection

I've finally managed to do a photoshoot for my blue collection. The color for this collection was inspired by the dress that Bella wore while dancing with Edward. haha!! I knew all the Twilight fans would love this. If only I had an Edward to pose with my model...

As you can see, not all the dresses are blue. As much as I love blue I needed to break it up a bit. I love autumn and blue is a great color for this season. It's an alternative to the dark and dull colors that everyone thinks they have to wear during the cold seasons.

I hope you all enjoy this collection!

xoxo JN

Note: Everything will be available through etsy soon, but email me at jewelnumkki@gmail.com if you want to order or reserve certain pieces.

i've got the blues

Electric blue that is...

Jewel Numkki's blue collection for the holidays will

be released early November. Sorry for the creepy headless photo. This model

does not like headshots.

In this collection you'll see a lot of dark navy blue

or bright eye piercing blue like this:

This collection is inspired by all my sophisticated and stylish friends!

Actually, everyone has an opinion and they just tell me what they want. j/k :P

Check back for the release date of the blue collection and more previews!!

say hello to cece

Hi I'm Cece. Here's a little about myself and Jewel Numkki.
I'm a designer, creator, artist, and a dreamer. I majored in Fashion Design and Merchandising at University of Hawaii Manoa where I co-created Acid Dolls. Acid Dolls is an urban street couture line of clothing that was created by me and Cindy King in 2003. After 2 years I moved to California and Cindy continues to pour love into Acid Dolls. Check it out at www.aciddolls.com

I started dreaming of a clothing line that I could infuse all my creativity, style, and love into. Jewel Numkki is inspired by everything classic, vintage, and artistic. I also like to add a pinch of contemporary style into it to give a modern feel. Every piece is unique. Every piece has some sort of aspect to it that people will ooh and ah about it when you're wearing it. There's nothing better than feeling good in what you're wearing. Don't you agree? Most pieces that I create are one of a kind. I created Jewel Numkki to share my love for fashion and to share the feeling of wearing something special. I hope you all will enjoy JN as much as I do!

xoxo Cece

autumn begins

Too bad it's not happening in OC. Autumn offically started on the 22nd and it's still 98 degrees during the day. I love the cold weather. Cold weather brings layering of clothes, scarves, and cute boots.

If only I could dress like this everyday...

And like this...

I forgot where I got this picture from, but this is Taylor Tomasi. She's the senior market editor at Teen Vogue and I absolutely love her style!!

a lovely day

A lovely day calls for a lovely photoshoot... All pieces will be available on http://www.jewelnumkki.etsy.com/ soon!!

jewel numkki in action

I loooove it when people looooove my stuff. I also loooooove it when they look cute in it. This is one of my favorite peope in the world wearing JN.

It's been quite hectic with the etsy store opening. I've received a lot of "Can you make me..." requests. Although I like to keep my designs one-of-a-kind, I'll make exceptions for a few pieces. This past week was spent duplicating the Chirp apron for a wedding party. I never thought to give aprons as bridesmaid gifts, but it turned out really cute.

www.jewelnumkki.etsy.com is open NOW!

"who says aprons are only for cooking?!"

and THAT'S the name of this apron.

It's a little long, but you're
going to have to call it that, if you want to order it.

There's nothing like a really cute apron. You don't even have to be

cooking in it! You can wear it to microwave or wear it while

filling up ziplock bags with oversized things you bought from Costco.

It will be available on etsy next week!

facebook frenzy!

Finally, a progress. Jewel Numkki facebook is ready! http://www.facebook.com/jewelnumkki
Please make sure to add me as a friend. The site is for viewing by friends of JN only.

I realized that after a few hours of the launch this morning, I wasn't really ready. I didn't know I would receive so many inquiries about purchasing the clothes that I posted up! Originally, the facebook page was a preview of JN, but it turned into an online store :)

Nevertheless, my etsy store will open by early next week. Check back for the launch of http://www.jewelnumkki.etsy.com/!!

Here's something for you while you wait.

I love big ruffled flowers!

purple makes me happy

Coming soon to jewelnumkki.etsy.com.

This purple dress makes me smile. Especially with the ruffle flower and the zipper detail inside the flower.

turq purp

Coming soon to jewelnumkki.etsy.com.

Turquoise and purple are a great combination. The shape of this dress is feminine, but the colors and zipper on the back makes it edgy and daring. It's hard to see in the pictures, but there's pockets on this dress! How perfect is this during an awkward conversation with an awkward person at an awkward get together? Put your hands in the pockets and walk away. j/k.
Let's hope you're not in this situation. I just love not having to carry around a clutch bag and having my phone with me at all times :)

Thank you...

I've been designing clothes ever since I can remember. The most joy I get out of creating each piece is when I spend hours and sometimes days on something that makes others want to wear. The biggest reward is finding those people that I can share my joy with me. Thank you to those who found Jewel Numkki even though it hasn't been officially launched.

I really have to thank one of my biggest support and best friend(not to mention best buyer. haha) Eri! She pushed me to get this blog up and running and always encouraged me to pursue my own line. Love you!

Now that this post turned into an academy award speech, I'm going to go work on posting up more pictures :)

::numkki revealed::

Here is a sneak preview of Jewel Numkki! There are a lot more to come :)

jewel numkki blog is created!

Thank you for checking out Jewel Numkki. As I sit here watching an episode of Family Guy, I just created my first blog and an introduction to my clothing line Jewel Numkki.

Jewel Numkki(aka jul-nuhmkki) means jump rope in Korean. I just bedazzled up the word a bit. My clothing line consists of dresses, tops, skirts, and sometimes aprons. Aprons not because I like cooking, but because I just like cute aprons hanging in my kitchen and everyone should have one also. I create a lot of one of a kind pieces because no one wants to wear something that someone else has. Right? Especially to a wedding.

Like a jump rope, Jewel Numkki will make you feel carefree and young. Two simple wooden handles turned a single rope into one of the best past time activities when we were young girls. Next to hula hoops. I love hula hoops, but it would still translate into hula hoops in Korean and that's not too fun.
This is also seen in my clothing line. The simple body lines in the dresses will be turned into a piece of art with the addition to intricate handsewn applique and unique necklines.

Photos will be posted here before going on etsy. Please check back for them.

I hope you'll enjoy coming back to read the blogs also!
