CIMBER is your 'natrual' choice for jewelry this season.

'True Fashionistas Now' know that you can wear all the fashion you want but you haven't completed your look without a little, ummm jewelry, 'naturally.' Last night, I visited the RSPOP Shop at the Rogersmith hotel where Swank's Showroom presented a plethora of ideas for fashionistas in the know. Dresses, handbags, swimwear, handbags and jewelry were the matters of the evening. Here's a jewelry find that I know you'll love, especially as Spring and Summer approaches. Get a glimpse of some of the pieces then check out their site for more finds and like them on Facebook, 'naturally'.

Heidi Elnora 2011 Collection at Charleston Fashion Week.

In my 2011 collection, the thing I’m most excited about:

all the detail and craftsmanship and how it showcases a true Southern girl’s sense of style—charm and sophistication.

My inspiration wall is covered with images:

from the French countryside—white-washed barns, dilapidated buildings, Victorian chandeliers, silver spoons—and vintage buttons, ribbons, lace, and tulle.

My favorite material to work with is:

raw silk because it is simple and understated but completely elegant and flawless.

I describe my design aesthetic as:

prim + posh; I cater to brides who have a unique sense of style.

Marie Cordella 2011 Collection at Charleston Fashion Week.

"This collection of dresses is drawn from a mosaic of graphic, textural, and historical inspirations. I am combining primary colors with hues often seen in East Indian textiles. Understated sculptural elements such as asymmetrical waistlines and slightly convex textile forms create sophisticated silhouettes. Between deep solid colors, thoughtful patterns, and modern shapes, the pieces fit perfectly into what I’m forecasting to be next fall’s nostalgic aesthetic." ~ Marie Cordella
