Are you on Instagram? I check instagram more than facebook and twitter, partially because I mostly follow the fashion world and LOVE the constant images of shoes, bags, and in-the-moment fashion shows.

My recently taken shots:

Todays rainy day outfit consists of a vintage chunky cable knit royal blue sweater over a blue floral dress with over the knee socks and my knee-high Joe2 Jeffrey Campbells

Some of my favorite jewelry from Cat Bird, NYC

That tiny, gold chain ring is one of my all-time FAVORITE pieces of jewelry.

They are so delicate and simple, and for $64? Come on, no brainer. Here

I don’t see my necklace on the website, but they do have the singular version: Here

Social media can be an extremely powerful marketing tool. Being the industrious marketing major that I am, I have just launched an instagram particularly for my jewelry (and this site) to see if it will increase traffic. (more on that as my research developes) Until then, follow LasCharolastras on Instagram!

And don’t forget to check out the SHOP page for new items available in the STORE

Inspiration boards are essential. I do have a physical one at my house, but it’s so much quicker and easier to just keep digital ones. I thought I’d share some of the images of things that have inspired me in my latest collection

It always starts with music, doesn’t it? Those are photos of some mariachi & flamenco records of mine. I’ve always loved flamenco. In a recent trip to Spain I got to see some really amazing dancers. Actually, that trip was really inspiring. Here are some photos I took from Barcelona, Majorca, and Madrid

I would go back any day.

I was also thinking about the kind of woman a flamenco dancer is. Passionate and tough-as-nails. I like how dramatic and strong everything about it is.

A piece of art given to me for my 25th birthday by a very dear friend:

Our orignal plan for that particular vacation was not to go to Spain. We were heading to Morocco, but due to certain circumstances at the time we scrapped it and wound up re-routing from a connecting flight we had in Madrid. In preparation for the original Morocco trip I was pouring over millions of online photographs of the souks there (market places). This is how I became obsessed with bazaars, souks, and other markets in places like Marrakech, Turkey, and Dubai.
