Who knew you could turn a simple wooden crate into a clever jewelry display case? Our Merchandiser Taylor Gardner DIYed her way into our hearts by doing just that-taking a plain crate and transforming it into something that doubles as a jewelry display and an art piece. (It reminds us of artist Joseph Cornell’s whimsical “Cabinets of Wonder”!)

The wooden crate pre-makeover:

The final product, a pristine carry-all that has “pop up trunk show” written all over it:

Thanks for the DIY tip Taylor! If you have ideas to share with us, email us at [email protected].

For our Merchandisers, putting together a pop up trunk show means getting into party planning mode. Our girls are designing cute jewelry displays, making edible goodies and treats, and more. From DIY jewelry hangers to custom designed cupcakes–Merchandisers are coming up with creative party ideas to make sure everyone who attends has a good time.

We were wayyyyyy impressed when Merchandiser Cecilia Ramirez baked and decorated this gorgeous cake for guests at her first ever pop up trunk show. Though it pains us to ever have to separate our birdies, we definitely would not mind cutting into Cecilia’s cake and having a slice, or two.

All thanks go to Sugar Babies Cupcakery in Sherman Oaks for making Valerie’s cupcakes absolutely gorgeous and delicious too. We can’t wait to see what our other great ideas our Merchandisers and Hostesses come up with next! If you’ve got a great trunk show treat, email us a pic (and recipe if you DIY’d ‘em yourself) to [email protected].

Now if only we could get a few of these lovelies flown to NYC we would be in dessert heaven…

Less is more? Um…yeah…definitely not when it comes to throwing a glam-filled arm party!

At $34 each, why not invite all of these vintage-inspired-stone-filled-stunners to join your wrist list?!
