Our New Clutches Are Here!!!

The Ada Wrap Belt

Tue, 26 Jul 2011 18:01:00 -0400

We truly are in love with the Ada wrap belts, and the soft, Argentinian leather is just a plus. They come in a variety of colors, and you can tie them in more ways imaginable! To give you an idea of what I’m talking about check out this youtube video here. My personal favorite is the tan color, because it goes with practically everything in my closet. I put this outfit together yesterday, and I absolutely can’t wait to wear it!

The “Linda” Tolani tunic is the perfect addition to any summer wardrobe! It’s light and breezy, and can pass for a dress! You can wear it with or without the Ada belt for two completely different looks. We have just a few left in store! Call our store today!

We’ve decided to start a new series featuring celebrities seen wearing our very own gems on the red carpet… with out further ado I present to you “On the Red Carpet” (creative name I know), and our first celebrity is country music singer Jana Kramer at the CMT awards a few weekends ago. You may know her from this song or maybe this one. She’s a favorite at Diana Warner New York! Most of us in the studio have grown up in the south, so of course we have to stick to our southern roots and share country music above the Mason-Dixon line!

Want the get the red carpet glam for yourself? You can buy our set of six stacking bracelets here and our Wendy earrings will be available online soon! If you can’t wait, just give us a call at (212)432-3969 and we can take care of you!

West Coast vs. East Coast

Mon, 20 Jun 2011 14:18:00 -0400

The package we’ve all been anxiously awaiting FINALLY came! Our clothing order from TYLIE MALIBU! And then of course we all freaked out. If you haven’t heard of this designer, let me be the first to introduce you! It’s just about the latest and greatest from the west coast. Comfy, relaxed, laid back, and chic are all words I’d use to describe this label. Part of Diana’s vision for her store was to bring a little west coast style to the east coast. So often are the two styles compared. You open up the latest Elle magazine, and there’s three pages dedicated to the comparison of the two! (This is a true story- I wish I could remember which issue it was…) What we want to do is mix both of the styles together. Who says you can’t pair a structured blazer over a comfy striped top (like this)? Along with the two tops shown above, we also received some fabulous lounge wear…

It makes running around the city actually look chic, right? Come see what other great Tylie Malibu items we’ve got in store! We should be receiving this clutch soon along with some other great bags! To stay updated on what we receive daily, won’t you ‘like’ us on Facebook?

Preview Party

Wed, 01 Jun 2011 11:18:00 -0400

Our preview party and soft opening last Thursday was a success! We worked right up until our party working through all of the kinks and finishing up last minute details, but once friends, old and new, began arriving, we knew all the running around was worth it. We got the chance to introduce New York to some of our favorite brands like Tolani, Yumi Kim, FashionABLE, Henry & Belle, J. J. Winters, Magnus, and more. And of course introduce East 21st street to Diana Warner jewelry! Our neighborhood couldn’t have been more welcoming, and we are absolutely thrilled about our location. Right down the street we had our after party at Gravy, a new southern cuisine restaurant, who just might have master the art of scallops and honey grits above the Mason Dixon line. To say it was delicious would be an understatement. All in all, we couldn’t have asked for a better night!

Final Countdown

Not My Typical Tuesday

Thu, 27 May 2010 17:25:43 -0400

May 28
We were lucky enough to trade our converse for heels this past Tuesday when some of the girls from the studio attended the Modern Museum of Art’s Annual Garden Party. We enjoyed of night of cocktails, music and mingling in the museum’s sculpture garden.
For a few days leading up to the event we have been plotting our ensembles. Each of us drew inspiration from some very interesting vintage pieces that Diana, recently, unearthed! Laura wore a cream Robert Rodriguez bubble dress with contrast black bandage detail along the bodice and straps. Very classic, she added red lips and black satin pumps. For jewelry, she kept it simple with Diana’s new Art Deco ears and a vintage black alligator band watch.
Diana’s outfit choice came down to the wire! She arrived at my apartment with, of course, two dresses! The billowy tangerine one-shoulder didn’t make the cut as it seemed a little too garden-y for the garden party. Laura and I loved the 2nd option, a silk Hale Bob t-shirt dress adorned with brass studs. (I can foresee this dress getting borrowed sometime soon!) D wore her own design earrings, the new baby Tara piece! They added just enough sparkle.
I chose a white strapless Tracy Reese party dress. My metallic gray leather Lauren Merkin clutch and chunky black heels toughened up my otherwise girly and romantic look. For jewels, I asked D to string together 3 triangular vintage pieces to create a collar looking necklace.
The Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs performed and set the soundtrack and laid-back tone for the evening. The lead vocalist, Karen O, of course, sounded amazing, but she looked even better in a short brightly printed kimono-style dress. They did a beautiful stringed version of ‘Maps’- a highlight of the night for sure.
Our group loved the night of making new friends with the diverse crowd of Wall-streeters and artsy-types. It was a wonderful New York City evening.

Story Tellers.....

Mon, 24 May 2010 13:31:00 -0400

Today, I received a letter; tucked inside the letter were three amazing photographs. The images were of a young woman who should not be alive. She should not have on the graduation cap and gown as she does in one picture, she should not be with her new nephew in the other, and she definitely should not be smiling so beautifully as she is in the last picture.

But she is.

Faith, Hope and Love can do amazing things. Faith, even just a small amount can move mountains. Hope, can lift spirits, and straighten paths. Love can heal, mend and nurture impossible situations.

The letter that accompanied the photographs was an astounding testimony of one family’s faith, hope and love that took them on a journey witnessing healing and miracles.

Deeply humbled that someone took the time to share their story with me, I feel now more than ever called to share with you something that can’t stop thinking about.

Eight months ago, I designed a piece of jewelry, a disk about two inches in diameter that can be stamped and personalized. It is textured and rich in feeling. During the design process, I felt like the piece had more to say than simply a birth date or a monogram. And it did! In just a few months it has become a reminder of something greater within each of those who wear it; it is a symbol of the stories we carry around with us, that inspire us and make us who we are.

Ironically, one of the family members of the girl in the pictures I mentioned above wrote me about a horrible accident, one in which with girl should not have survived. Meghan here in my New York studio (the other half of my brain) suggested we send to this family the disk I had designed stamped with Faith, Hope and Love. Neither Meghan nor I probably ever believed we would months later get numerous thank you notes and then eventually photographs of Ashley (the survivor) wearing this necklace.

Sometimes I design pieces without actually knowing why at the time. Sometimes they are just there, left in the boxes of samples waiting to go out to the right person in the right time of need.

We all have a story of Faith Hope and Love, sometimes our stories are even of jumping, or taking chances, of daring to live a different way. This season I want to ask you to share your stories. I have made a place on our site for your stories of inspiration. The Moon is Round, is coming soon…a story that will change how we all live our lives. To the Moon and Back is also coming soon, a testimony of love that goes beyond the earthly measurements we know.

So, what is your story? What is on your disk? What do you need to be reminded of? Thank you for sharing some Faith Hope and Love with us all.
