Pink and Green Thursday: Loren Hope Designs



Hi everyone, and Happy Pink & Green Thursday!








This week I have a very special designer to share with you, a brand that I was introduced to this Spring and that I have fallen head over heels in love with.  Loren Hope Designs was founded with a strong love for antiques, passion for modern-vintage style, and a true appreciation of quality craftsmanship and attention to detail. 

Loren recalls playing at her Grandmother's thrift shop, where she would spend hours inspecting the jewelry.  "Jewelry design has always found a way into my life. One of my fondest memories as a little girl is playing in my Grandmother's thrift shop. She would let me plunder around for hours and I would take apart all sorts of old jewelry and re-assemble the baubles into new works of art."


Loren's upscale, contemporary, handcrafted jewelry designs featuring necklaces, earrings, and chains with attachments are sold all over the U.S. in specialty boutiques, and the line is constantly evolving.  Loren is a fellow Lilly lover and a huge fan of living a colorful life!  Her jewelry pieces are a lovely complement to your wardrobe, whether worn to an elegant black tie occasion or simply paired with a sundress for date night in the city or for a long walk along the beach.  See below for some of my favorite pieces from the collection!









Ella Necklace in Ivory










Chloe Necklace in Pink













Dabney Bib Necklace in Turquoise












Lilly Necklace in Pink


























Elizabeth Necklace


















Julie Long Tassel Necklace in Turquoise

















Farrah Necklace in Coral






Aren't they stunning?!

Loren Hope Designs has very generously offered to giveaway a necklace to one lucky reader...and not just any necklace - the LILLY Necklace in either pink or turquoise!







The Lilly Necklace features five large teardrops that hang from textured, round cable chain. Spring ring clasp. Gold plate.  $145 value.

  33. Hi sweet Trish. You know, life is so crazy sometimes and so very busy. I've followed you on twitter for quite a while but we've never really chatted very much and I just realized today when Julie mentioned your giveaway that I didn't think I'd ever been to your blog! (how does that happen is what I want to know!) My apologies that I haven't been been here before now! But, I LOVE your blog. Just followed you, Trish, and I'm listing your blog on Ooh La Frou Frou's "Lovely Places to Visit" sidebar list. I love bright color like you, and love Lilly .. the Ooh La Frou Frou Collection card line character that is the southern girl (Belle) loves Lilly too ;) I think I'd choose the pink necklace (so pretty!) and combine it with a Lilly top ... wouldn't that be a perfect combo? I assume we have to leave separate comments for the different entries, so this will be my entry for mentioning which outfit I'd wear the necklace with! xoxo
