BRAND: E.A. BURNS

We visited lovely Lizzie Burns - the designer behind the jewelry brand E.A.Burns.
At home in her studio in east London.
Chatting with Lizzie was so much fun that we didn't want to leave! We managed to talk about all sorts over a cup of tea while the designer showed us around her studio sharing her design creations and brand secrets.
 To start some of the rings and necklaces we adored! Gold and silver - simple and perfect!
 Some golden...
 and silver inspiration!
With lots of textures and shapes!
Could't take our eyes of this bracelet! We want it so badly!
Btw, we absolutely fell in love with their lookbook photos! Therefore, we decided to ask about the way Lizzie promotes her brand. Interestingly, she replied that she does't do anything much. Of course there are social media that are a big help these days but otherwise she thinks that if you are good people will find out about you!

And we could't agree more. We think Lizzie's designs are fantastic!
But back to the last collections: Ancient Rites! The model looks more than lovely and personally we think idea is increadably cool!
Don't you think so?
What is more, we thought that E.A.Burns logo is super cool so we got inspired by the graphic shapes and lines!
 Geometrical is what we love!
A bit of astronomy and a bit of universe!
The beauty of modern architecture and the reflection in glass!
And some interiors! What do you think of a fun wallpaper?
An insight into Lizzie's brand.
A question we couldn't wait to ask was how is E.A.Burns a sustainably manufactured brand. So we lizzie how she can achieve this?

We couldn't have got a better answer, as designer explained when you know that so many recourses are waisted why should't you do something good if you can?

Those are exactly our thoughts!
When lizzie is designing - she requires perfection and only perfection is what the designer is aiming for! Quality is what the brand is definitely associated with and this is shown in the finishing and the beautiful designs!
 Details are important!
 Quick sketches from when the inspiration strikes!
And more from the studio!
 Final pieces!
Ahhh... beautiful!
When we saw the delightful jewellery the question we where willing to ask was what did Lizzie study. Lizzie surprised us when she revealed that it wash't Jewellery Design but Fashion Design. Jewellery design definitely came later, after college when addressing the way design made her feel; but more importantly that it was accessible to a large audience.
It was so refreshing to hear that what you study doesn't always mean that you will find your career feet in!  
Passion is passion and Lizzie has buckets loads for her self taught skills. 
 We feel very graphic these days! Heres more inspiration we associate with Lizzie's designs.
All black to white!

We think this could be perfect gift for Christmas for your favourite fashionable friend.

Thanks a lot to Lizzie for lovely visit! We could't enjoy it more!
Happy new year to you all from Hope Von Joel and team.

TRENDING: Slip dresses

There were few things that cached our eye during SS14 fashion month and one of them were SLIP DRESSES. We loved the new twist of 90ies trend that uncountable designers took on. Absolutely fell in love with the simplicity of this garment!
 We still remember Carrie Bradshaw's love for this look and the way she combined it with big fur coat.
 Remember Marc Jacobs who put this trend back into the picture for his AW13 collection? We believe it is here to stay.
We also loved the darker and more evening look with lace details and from silky material!
Made us think of Kate Moss.
There were some shorter versions as well. We especially adored those Topshop Unique ones!
And lastly some designers were more playful with the simple slip dress while creating them vivid and colorful. Our heart went to House of Holland's ones that looked extremely cool!

absolutely adoring how effortless these girls looked in slip dresses that were made in creamy, pastel yellow and white color.

There was one more thing besides the amazing collection that made us fall in LOVE. 
The lovely models that were walking in the show. They reminded of such a natural beauty that young girls embody. Just a little of make-up... because SIMPLE IS BEAUTIFUL!
