pitter patter

Happy holidays everyone!

Yes, I'm still enjoying the rain as most of you are hoping for it to stop. As I mentioned earlier rain makes me happy and that calls for cookie making. I baked some cookies for me and the husband to decorate. I ended up decorating everything and husband ended up just eating :)





Our cute little Christmas tree decorated with my Hawaiian dude given to me by Eri.

JN cardigan release + more goodies

All this rain makes me happy. So happy that I'm releasing a few of my JN cardigans plus a couple more dresses. They're not available for sale yet, but I thought I would share photos of them. Enjoy!

rainy blessings

On my birthday I woke up to one of my favorite things. Rain. I love rain. I love cool gloomy days. Most people don't like gloomy weather, but I'm a November baby. I like being bundled up in coats and scarves with a hot cup of coffee in hand when it's cold outside.

That was a beginning to a weekend of fun and laughter with many of my favorite people. I feel so blessed to have so many wonderful people in my life and even more blessed that I was able to celebrate my 30th birthday with them.

Just a few pictures from the weekend..







I'm wearing the Ruff Around The Edges dress. Just to tie JN to this post somehow :)

sunny days

My dear friend Morgan got married early this month and she wore a JN Purple Love Dress for her engagement photo session. She looks absolutely gorgeous in it. The beautiful couple took some amazing photos on this sunny day. She was nice enough to share these photos with me.

playing in the streets

I had a mini photo shoot with my friends Anna and Karissa. Anna has been my Jewel Numkki model for the last few photo shoots. She's nice enough to let me plaster her face all over my facebook and blog. The weather was nice and cool and we managed to capture a lot of great shots.






It's always fun working with friends!

Things I'm looking forward to:

A few pictures from a website by Hermes called J'aime mon carre. It shows all the eccentric ways to wear a scarf.

Aren't these engagement photos with Robert and Karissa just so beautiful? They're one of the cutest and loving couples ever.

Kathryn and Karissa... two beautiful sisters. I think this picture was taken during their cousin's wedding where Karissa was a bridesmaid. Kathryn is wearing a Jewel Numkki polka dot dress and it looks so cute on her!

color inspirations

I'm back from my trip and have fun pictures to share! It was definitely one of the most exciting trips I've ever taken. My husband and I decided to stop by Beijing for a few days before we headed to our main destination Seoul.

My husband is more observant and practical than I am so he took all the touristy fun photos, but me... I take pictures of anything colorful that catches my eye. We had separate cameras so it was fun to see all the different things we took pictures of. These are only through my eyes.

strawberry coffee

iced coffee tastes 10x better in this adorable mug from UO.

oh ai...

..i wish i had your legs.

ai tominaga and her legs. even in a pair of tights and leather jacket she looks elegant and lovely.

pretty tanks

I'm going to try to squeeze in as many posts as possible before I take off to lala land. I'll be on vacation for 2 weeeekss!! I'm so excited to not have to do anything, but eat. It'll be a wonderful 2 weeks. More about that later.

First, another Jewel Numkki reveal! Pretty flower tanks.

floating flowers

More previews from my new collection! I'm doing a new thing.
FLOATING FLOWER NECKLINE.
It's absolutely beautiful on everyone! Everyone loves strapless dresses, right? But does everyone love how it looks on them? I could go without the extra skin that folds over the dress at the armpit. That's why I've decided to add some applique details around that area. Instead of flowers and leaves beautifully dripping down the front of my Jewel Numkki dresses, they are floating upwards adding softness and elegance.

Here's a photoboothfun photo with my friend who doesn't have a problem with strapless dresses. I treated myself to the Teal Steal Dress!
In the works...
I love my teal pins.

go green

Here's a little teaser before the new Jewel Numkki Fall Collection is released!

The Go Green Dress is a one shoulder baby doll dress that's perfect for this warm California weather. I'm more of a cool autumn gal, but I'm really enjoying these sunny days. I'm also enjoying the cool breeze and the carefree feeling of driving with the window all the way down. My a/c is normally always on, but the other day I decided to roll down the window to air out my car. It was smelling like charcoal and barbequed corn from my husband's birthday party. It's such a great feeling. It almost feels like I'm running. Without the running part. Fresh air, warmth of the sun hitting my arm(after I take off my Korean ahjuma sleeve) and the sound of other cars and people talking. It's so carefree! You should try it out. It's also environmentally friendly. Go green!

jewel numkki elephant dolls?

No, Jewel Numkki doesn't make elephant dolls. It was just an attempt at making something for a good friend's daughter's 1st birthday. This pink elephant made of felt was just too adorable not to blog about.

This is why I love designing...
