I appreciate fashion, and I appreciate fashion makers, or those people who decide what looks good on a woman or a man and then go out and create it. As an editor for Austin Monthly magazine, I've met a lot of wonderful "creators" in the Austin fashion world, and my own style has evolved thanks to many of these artists. One of my favorite artists, though, is Rebecca Foss of Rebecca Lynn Designs. She's not only a great person, but she makes absolutely beautiful, original jewelry. I have one of her necklaces (below) and every time I wear it, the compliments come pouring in.



This piece is reminiscent of the rest of her designs. They're all pretty and simple, crafted with delicate chains, colorful stones and interesting combinations of patterns and textures. She twists and molds and combines vintage stones with modern pearls and sterling silver trinkets with 14-karat gold treasures. She creates necklaces, earrings and bracelets, and while this piece was custom-made, it looks a lot like the other necklaces in her Spirit collection.



Every woman likes to have something--a necklace or a ring or the perfect little red dress--that makes her stand out in a crowd. Rebecca Foss created one of those somethings for me, and I'm sure she can do that for you, too. Check out the story I wrote on Rebecca's jewelry, as well as two other fun and funky designers in Austin, Diane Petkoff of Tasty Jewelry and Kaki Gaines of KAKIdesigns.
