Since I got laid off and became a broke joke, I’ve been window shopping. My mind wanders. My imaginary budget is endless.

Fully and shamelessly inspired by Emili Vesilind - ever since that first Curator article - this jewelry wishlisting spiral won’t quit. It’ll take me more than a while to actually purchase these. But a girl can hope.

Welcome to my first LIKE LIKE, inspired by my niece (who shall not be named for fear of mortal embarrassment). A collection of stuff I like. Because I like it. No trends. No expectations. I just really like it.

Midjourney → Vizcom → my velvet-box composite.

Peep a little of the process.

I always start with my moodboard and a prompt that supports my end goal. (I’ve never not been inspired by sparkles and Schumacher fyi.)

Next Steps - Each of the rings needed their own moment in the sun, but need to complement the hero shot.

You know you want one, now, don't you?
