elasticmodulus by Brian Houghton

I had the opportunity to do a mini-interview with one of my new favorite emerging designers through Etsy, Brian Houghton. His jewelry is masculine, raw, overall perfection. He's 27 and is new to making jewelry, since he's only been making jewelry since October this year.


Favorite designers?
i dont really have any favorite designers, i like to sort of design myself and take different snippets from all over the place...

Favorite Etsy shops?
PULPmiscellania 
savagesalvage 
luminoddities 
lovedtodeath 


Where do you get your inspiration?
my inspiration is sort of the same realm as the above statement, meaning i like to take bits and pieces from different time periods and not necessarily confined to civilized time periods. new ideas are sprouting all the time, i get a lot of inspiration from etsy.com, old jewelry, antiques, curiosities, post apocalyptic movies, art etc etc


What are your future goals in jewelry?
my goals in my jewelry making is to first and foremost not take myself to seriously and have fun with what i am doing, i would like to perfect certain techniques with wire wrapping, fluidity etc etc. i am happy to know that people do enjoy my art and jewelry.....i guess they are one in the same!!

What type of person do you see wearing your jewelry? 
actually i have sold jewelry to a few different style types, goth, old school punk, alternative types etc. so all types i guess, people who i thought would never care really 
like it....a bit surprising to be honest.

Currently Loving Comfortable

I'm loving laid-back looks right now; soft, cozy, heavy knits, light cotton, sheer, flare pants, etc. I think there's a beauty about a girl with perfect hair and makeup in a seemingly comfortable outfit. Not to say that everyone can walk around in sweatpants and leggings, because ugh, just, no. These are definitely on my lists of things to stock up on.

Caftans & Squaretans

• etsy, etsy knit pattern, roberto cavalli, vintage sewing pattern, polyvore
• Ah-uhb-sessed. Roberto Cavalli is on of my favorite designers, google his caftans (kaftans) sometime, they're flawless. Going to try making a caftan, post about that in a while, y'know the drill. 

Fancy Pants

• urban outfitters, free people, urban outfitters
• I'm always a sucker for interesting pants. Definitely love love love. Wide leg pants, I think, are great. Extreme flare pants, I'm not so hot on. Pants with subtle flares are deff a good look though. Preferably worn with flats for a cuter effect. 

Bonedust Cowgirl in Paseo

These are photos from one of my favorite places to shop in the Paseo, Bonedust Oklahoma. I've bought so much recently so give me time to wash my new clothes and play with them for a little bit, but there are new killer lookbooks on the way.

Scavenger's + Sauced on Paseo

Tonight I went to The Paseo District with my new friend Irene, and my oldie friend Ango. Initially we set up to venture to Bonedust, but they closed early. Fortunately though, Scavenger's was open. I believe everything happens for a reason, and there was a reason we were supposed to be there, that reason being my caftan find. I found an amazing caftan from India. Ever since I saw Bowie in a caftan I've been dying to get my hands on one.

After rummaging, we went to Sauced for amazing pizza, live music, and cheap coffee.

Topshop Collection "Glam Rockette", a Ziggy Stardust Tribute

Topshop has created a new collection called "Glam Rockette", the cute name for the even cuter clothes is a tribute to queen glam rockette, Ziggy Stardust. As a longtime David Bowie fan this collection excites me a lot. These are a few pieces that I think are the strongest and most representative of the fun, glittery, youthful-ness Ziggy portrayed, and my favorites.

This is the perfect fall collection with stars, leather, leopard, faux fur, and velvet. Love for sure. I can especially seeing Queen Bitch himself wearing that blue velvet romper, so killer. 

Collection available at: Topshop.com Glam Rockette
