When I met Lisa George of L George Designs, I tried on every single piece of jewelry in her entire collection (go hard or go home) and was floored by how incredible they all were. She has a gift for making badass, statement pieces that are totally comfortable and lay perfectly on your neck. I was in the presence of…The Necklace Whisperer.
She made this turquoise beauty for me and I basically didn’t take it off for a month (except to work out and shower). Even though it’s so bold, it goes with everything and magically completes every outfit!
Even next to a horse’s ass, its beauty still shines through!
(Just another night on the Atlanta bar scene.)
I loved the necklace so much, Lisa named it after me: The Turquoise Hess (contact them for pricing).
I’m also obsessed with this spiked stunner, which I like to call The Bad Date Necklace. If you have a first and/or blind date and aren’t sure how it’s going to pan out, wear this to ensure he gets nowhere close to making out with you and your neck area. If you do want to play tonsil hockey, just casually remove it and give him a wink (he’ll get the point).
I can’t sing enough praises about L George Designs. She is seriously blowing up in the accessory world and I think every gal should own one of her pieces (celeb secret: Beyonce’s bass player owns a necklace and is obsessed).
Atlanta friends, you can come check out the collection THIS Wednesday with a special trunk show at The Spa at the Four Seasons (we gettin’ fancy, y’all!) from 7-9 p.m. There will be free champagne and snacks (magic words), tunes from DJ Cannonball (read: my good friend Trey and the 187th ranked DJ in the tri-state area), lots of gorgeous, never-before-seen jewels to try on, and you can meet The Necklace Whisperer herself. Check out the Witty + Pretty Facebook page to view the flyer and I hope to see you there getting pretty!
LYLAS,
Ashley
