Last Fall, I did a behind-the-scenes post and called it : The Scene of the Crime.  If you have been following my journey from the beginning, you have probably read it, or you can view it for the first time now HERE.

I enjoy each aspect of creating designs and capturing the images you see - even the few designs that never make it into my line or the thousands of pictures that get deleted.  The Scene of the Crime gives me the opportunity to further narrate my quick, off-the-cuff Instagram images and take you deeper into my creative mess.

Here we go, first to arrive on the scene is always caffeine.  On the occasional afternoon, I like to "think" while enjoying a delicious latte down at the docks.

And sometimes at breakfast, I play with my food.  (My kids think I'm crazy)

Vintage and Antique Jewelry from my personal collection

Inventory, with a less exciting cup of coffee and probably cold.  I feel a theme here...

Alexis Kletjian Diamond Lotus and Lucky Star Shields : Shield Yourself!

When I am working, I find all sorts of things under my desk!


I also find surprises in my GIA diamond grading materials!  Hmmm, I wonder who did this...


Speaking of diamonds, I attended three weddings these past few months and wore the same dress, styled three different ways!  Yes, yes I did.

I also helped a group of lovely ladies celebrate a milestone birthday.  A very generous client purchased our popular bangles for all of her friends!

Our Style Lab series continues with a focus on iconic staples, with a slight militant twist.  The shirt dress is classic, returns season after season, and this time 'round it's all about the reinvention of olive - and I like it.  Watch this space for more olive in our upcoming Style Labs.

Military made a strong return to fashion this Fall and is a sublime pairing with the juxtaposition of gleaming gold. Let's break it down...


I love this dress, and I love the every season color it is.  A shirt dress is a no fail throw-it-on and look put together situation. (You don't even have to be tall, thank goodness) Heels, flats, boots, sandals - you name it, it all works with the shirtdress.

Last summer, I purchased a white shirtdress and I received many compliments on it.  I may have to add this particular one to my arsenal of workhorse dresses, it is so good.  I can imagine it in constant rotation in your wardrobe straight through Winter by adding tights, scarves, blazers and pops of Gray and/or Marsala.  Think pattern, fun accessories and pops of seasonal color.

Dear Santa, I would like this cross body Gucci bag

I will admit, I am coveting this bag for myself.  It's a staple and I would use it year-round.  Someone send this link to my husband, pretty please.  I unintentionally took jewelry as a gift off the table with the creation of my own line.  Surely, he will need a gift for me at some point, right?  Although it is pricey, the good news is black and gold is so classic, you may swap out with any bag for a variety of budgets.  In particular, I am coveting the cross body styles so I can go hands free!

Alexis Kletjian Lucky Star Diamond Mini Shields in Yellow Gold

My gold Lucky Star mini shields, layered.  I love to wear a few at a time at different lengths.  Yours can be customized in your birthstone or gemstone of choice.  Collect them one at a time, or purchase in multiples for double the luck ;)



And a sleek black nail from Chanel, or your favorite cosmetic company, keeps it all en vogue and wraps up yet another STYLE LAB series!  I hope you enjoyed it, there are more to come.
