One of my worst (yet most convenient) habits is to keep a ponytail holder around my wrist. It has gotten to the point where I feel naked without one, but sometimes I forget how much better my outfit would look without an ugly black elastic band wrapped around my wrist. Emi-Jay took the world by storm when they introduced their wrap-tie elastics, and though these feel amazing, my newest obsession is definitely By Lilla!
By Lilla has created a line of hair ties that can also be disguised as jewelry – function & fashion! With pieces such as leather wrapped bands, leather bows with spikes (a favorite), chain headbands that double as necklaces, By Lilla caters to the practical needs of the everyday fashion-forward woman! We had so much fun visiting the brand’s showroom at market and left with so many amazing goodies! Take a look at some of our favorite products and click here to shop the collection!

Her combination of nature and sparkle is just one of the many reasons why I adore Rory Ashton’s handmade jewelry collections. After her years at FIDM in Los Angeles, this Dallas native headed home to her roots to launch her jewelry line, most recognizably known for her crystal cluster, wire-wrapped hoops – a favorite of mine! Apart from her contagious personality and impeccable style, Rory’s talent truly captivates the mix of statement and everyday beauty through her signature pieces. The inspiration behind a designer’s collection always fascinates me, so I loved speaking with Rory recently about her newest collection launch, “Stained Glass”. Check out our interview below to learn more about Rory and be sure to shop her collections online here!
Name: Rory Ashton
Current City: Dallas, TX
Where can we buy your jewelry?
In Dallas, I recommend shopping my collection at Stanley Korshak, L. Bartlett, Flirt, Hemline, Bask & Mal Malouf. These stores usually have an up to date inventory of the latest designs. You can also purchase my pieces online here.
What was the inspiration for your latest collection?
I came upon these gorgeous, Italian imported rosary centers and was really captivated by their timeless beauty. I created the latest collection “Stained Glass” Fall/Winter ’14 with the elegance and depth of color found in the gorgeous churches around the world. Each piece is named after the cities and countries these churches reside in.
What is your go-to piece of jewelry?
Currently I wear my Stained Glass Necklace almost every day. I love the “Mykonos” rose gold and pearl color way. I feel that I have been able to wear it with everything. I like to layer it with my classic “Dainty Quartz”necklace (that I rarely take off).
Who are some of your favorite designers?
Right now I am really loving what For Love Of Lemmons is doing with lace. When it comes to comfy, Free People always does it for me.
What is one product you are currently coveting?
I am currently obsessed with Herbivore Botanicals, Luminous Body Oil in the Egyptian Jasmine.
What is your favorite part about living in Dallas?
It is actually something I think most people hate- I cherish the comfort the city offers. I love constantly running into people that I know. After living in LA and never seeing the same person twice, there is a unique warmth Dallas offers.
Favorite brunch spot in Dallas?
R&D Kitchen
What is one thing in your closet that you can’t live without?
My YSL “Tribute” platform sandal
Do you have any advice for our readers?

Last week we attended the Baubles & Blouses event at the Prashe Showroom in the design district to celebrate fashion, jewelry, and design. Designer Shona Gilbert debuted her newest collections, Shambhala and BollyRocks, from her line SHONA. The colorful pieces were inspired by Prashe Shah’s colorful collections, as well as from her extensive traveling experiences.
As we sipped champagne and mingled through the showroom, we had so much fun trying on the beautiful, vibrant jewelry pieces! Blair left with a pair of gorgeous gold statement earrings that were just to DIE for, and I had a hard time leaving without one of the elaborate hand chains. Apart from learning about the jewelry collections and the clothing sample sale, we also enjoyed exploring the event space. From the hundreds of beautiful flowers to the fabric draped ceilings and elaborate table settings, we were in awe of the elegant showroom!
Take a look at some of our pictures from the event and be sure to visit the SHONA website and the Prashe Showroom website to learn more!
