GUEST BLOGGER - SAMMI BURLEY aka. CHASE.DAKOTA

EARLIER THIS WEEK WE HAD A FEW WORDS WITH JEWELLERY DESIGNER 

EXTRAORDINARE - SAMMI BURLEY of 

CHASE.DAKOTA

WHAT GOT YOU INTO JEWELLERY DESIGN? 

I NEVER WORE MUCH JEWELLERY GROWING UP... MAINLY BECAUSE I COULDN'T FIND ANY PIECES THAT REFLECTED MY STYLE (AND PRICE RANGE). I'VE ALWAYS BEEN CREATIVE, SO I STARTED WITH SOME DIY'S FOR MYSELF, AND THEN PEOPLE STARTED ASKING ME TO MAKE THEM SOME PIECES... SO I GUESS IT JUST GREW FROM THERE

WHAT'S PLAYING ON YOUR IPOD?

ALORS ON DANSE BY STROMAE

MOST CHERISHED PIECE OF JEWELLERY?

A SMALL DIAMOND RING MY BOYFRIEND GAVE ME ON OUR FIRST VALENTINES DAY.

BLOGS YOU FOLLOW RELIGIOUSLY? 

INTERNATIONALLY: FASHIONTOAST, AUSTRALIAN: GARY PEPPER VINTAGE & 4TH AND BLEEKER 

BEST PLACE FOR A BITE TO EAT IN BRISBANE?

THE SMOKE AT NEWFARM

LATTES OR LONGNECKS? 

LATTES.

GIVE US A LOOK AT YOUR MOST FABULOUS CHILDHOOD OUTFIT

WHEN YOU THINK OF MELBOURNE YOU THINK OF...

GOOD FOOD AND GOOD FASHION.

IF YOU COULD DATE A ROCKSTAR, WHO WOULD IT BE? 

KURT COBAIN IF HE WAS STILL ALIVE... HE WAS JUST SO EFFORTLESSLY COOL AND DREAMY IN THE NINETIES.

PLANS FOR TONIGHT? 

FAMILY DINNER.

WE'RE A WEE BIT OBSESSED WITH THE WORK OF SAMMI, HER JEWELLERY LINE CHASE DAKOTA IS LIKE JANIS JOPLIN WITH A SHOT GUN. EDGY AND ACE, EACH PIECE OF HER JEWELLERY IS INTRICATELY UNIQUE, DESIGNED WITH LOVE AND AVAILABLE AT A DISTINCTLY REASONABLE PRICE POINT.
