Creative people are some of my favorite types of people...mainly because they are creative, have a very unique way of thinking and the entire StyleMayvin team falls into this category. Great minds really do think alike!
Having served as an ambassador for
ShopBevel during the
official launch, T. Strong/StyleMayvin has already put her stamp of approval on this very exciting venture so you know we love it!
The Shopbevel NYC Pop-Up Shop event held at the
Sophie Elgort Studio in NY was very jewelry-licious! The two featured designers (
Avec New York and
Courtneylee Collection) showed fabulous pieces that were right on trend including styles in metallics, bright colored stones and an urban chic feel. Each designer made a very bold and striking statement but had very different styles.
The Avec New York signature style seems to be flower inspired jewelry with traditional colored stones for the accessory obsessed girl who likes something sweet!
While Courtneylee Collection had more brilliant colored stones with a touch of edginess for the rocker chic in you!
All of the features jewelry was really quite striking!
And what event would be complete without a few spirits, super stylish brand ambassadors and a free gift? There were light appetizers plus an assortment of red and whites wines for the palette while you shop for these fabulous pieces! Needless to say, a good time was had by all!
And last but certainly not least...Who's the woman behind the brand?
Courtney McColgan! She started Shopbevel as a student at Stanford Graduate School for Business, with the desire to bring to the market the best in jewelry design and so far, she's doing an awesome job!
