More Blog Love from Rachel and Kelly
Part of what makes this job fun for me is meeting some really great women who are also fashion bloggers, designers and stylists. I can say without doubt that everyone I've met and talked to have been so fantastic to work with, and Rachel of Capturing Italy and Kelly of BussBuss are no exception. I was very fortunate that they wore, modeled and blogged about a couple of Ayana Designs pieces.
Rachel, a fashion blogger and emerging fashion designer, is wearing the Amelia necklace, and really, the pictures will tell you how fantastic she looks without me having to. And Kelly, a style expert who has appeared on Martha Stewart, wore a custom pearls necklace to both VERANDA Magazine's press party and gala for the unveiling of the House of Windsor (sounds fancy, non?). Be sure to check out Rachel's and Kelly's full post. Thank you, ladies!

Happy Father's Day
When I was a little girl in Korea, my mom once said to me, "If you ever get lost in a public place, stop and look up for your dad." My dad, at 6'2", was about a head taller than most people in Korea. It would be easy to find him in a crowded area.
I could go on and on about my dad - how he's one of the most honest men I know. How he always tried to do the right thing for his family. How he shaped my view of how a husband and father should be. But if we're lucky, we all feel this way about our dads. So I'll just post some of my favorite photos of my dad, and wish all the fathers out there a Happy Father's Day!

Handsome Dad, we called him a Korean Elvis :)
The Korean tradition is an exchange of a watch, which means giving the gift of time.

Daily Beauty: Lauren Hutton
How we know her: Model, actress, motorcycle enthusiast. Made the gap-tooth look hot (way before Madonna).
Road to success: Born in South Carolina, she started her modeling career as a Playboy Bunny. She wisely rejected the advice to fix the gap between her front teeth. Her famous smile transcended beyond the pages of magazines and gave her personality, something the other models lacked. Because of this, she racked up more magazine covers than other models during that time.
Why she's beautiful: A pretty face is a dime a dozen. Quite simply, she's fearless, rejecting convention and making her own rules. At age 60, she posed nude for Big magazine, saying "I want them (women) not to be ashamed of who they are when they're in bed."
