Wedding Photography has become a very distinctive art form. Pretty much everyone in the first world owns a camera nowadays, but when it comes to capturing one of the happiest moments of your life you probably will want to go with professional wedding photographers who understand the unique requirements of a once-in-a-lifetime situation. With a lifetime of capturing life through the lens and over five years of experience in professional wedding photography, Michelle and Towfiq from Wandermore Photography are not only able to keep their cool when everything gets a bit crazy, but also pick the right lens, composition and guidance to create unforgettable images. But truth be told, ...

The Summer/Fall edition of Martha's Vineyard Island Wedding Magazine has a beautiful feature on one of our favorite jewelry designers, Monika Knutsson, which we wanted to share. Monika Knutsson met with the editor on Martha’s Vineyard early this year, and later interviewed with journalist Erin Ryerson in New York!

I remember first meeting Yelena very well. She's just that kind of person. When you meet somebody new, usually certain parts of that persons character, abilities or history stand out and compose the small talk that follows. Yelena's history makes it hard to focus on one topic but her presence, which I can only describe as comforting and loving, make it obsolete. Despite her gorgeousness (she modeled for Cartier) Yelena radiates inner beauty more than anything else. Her warm smile assured me that I wouldn't be judged for being too nosy, and I would have had all the reasons. All of her family members are throwing long shadows: She is the daughter of Cecilia Rodhe, a sculptor and former Miss Sweden and Yannick Noah, a French open winner and arguably the 

Our Pop-up neighbor in December: "Frends" - fashionable electronic accessories / enjoy 10% off (mention "Yaf Sparkle")

Today I met Mike from our new (temporary) neighbor, "Frends", a pop-up store right next door at 160 Orchard. I found two good reasons (aside from Mike being a really nice guy!) for you to stop by: First, I think that their collaborations with Zadig&Voltaire and Dolce&Gabbana created some really fashionable headphones that are worth a look. And second, Frends is happy to offer you 10% off their entire collection (mention Yaf Sparkle).

You are invited to a very special Launch event! On September 9, 6-9PM, we will host Maya Ahluwalia's Fall/Winter collection launch in our Boutique. Why are we so excited? Well first of all we love the direction her creations made as her pieces are simple, very wearable and so fresh-chic. But on top of that, we got to know the Non-Profit "Rocking the Boat", as Maya collaborated...

Monika Knutsson, the designer behind the jewelry collection Gilded Lace, was thrilled that Beyoncé chose some of her pieces to wear on stage at her Mrs. Carter Show World Tour. The jewelry had come a long way from the lace’s creation in the 1920s, to becoming forgotten vintage lace at a Parisian fleamarket, and eventually ending up on the world’s most famous superstar. The LEOPOLDINE earrings have quite a story to tell.
