Jewelry Party Featured At “Homage”
I spent my Sunday evening at a jewelry party in a Brooklyn restaurant called “Homage”. “Homage” is a newly established restaurant that has a welcoming and wholesome feeling. The perfect place to eat, have discussions or even play chess. That day I was there to shop and not only did they have jewelry, but there were also skin care products from Andoro.
London born Karen Jackson is one of New York’s rising independent jewelry designers and is the creator of Ambiguous Jewelry Art. The Ambiguous Jewelry Art collection is filled with an array of African inspired jewelry with bold colors and textures. There’s a wide selection of handmade beaded earrings and waste beads that can be used as a bracelet and necklace. There’s a few leather earrings and wrist wear. More of my favorites are her copper, bronze and silver earrings and rings, which are uniquely shaped and carved by hand. Most of her jewelry has significance to its creation. My fav is the Africa Dream Catchers earrings featured in my pics.
Lastly, I had the chance to checkout Andoro all natural skincare products by Rory Dunn. I’ve been using shea butter for years now and I like finding products that have shea butter and includes essential oils that smells great and nourishes the skin. Other products included are natural shampoos, conditioners and soaps. And recently for sell are interesting woodworks with great marble detail. My pick would have to be the Yemeyah body butter. It includes pure shea butter, cocoa butter, coconut oil, essential oils, and black seed oil. Plus, it can be used for your body and hair.

Harriet’s Alter Ego’s Backyard Couture #3
Harriet’s Alter Ego Backyard Couture event hosted by The Agytators was filled with shopping, live music, a photography exhibit and great food and drinks.
Let’s start with the shopping. Harriet’s Alter Ego is a lively boutique in Brooklyn that sells their own handmade designs as well as clothing and jewelry from independent designers. Another bonus is their wide selection on SADE cosmetics. From the front of the store there’s a crowd of people going through the racks and inside is no different. The backyard is where you will find other vendors like Guerilla Soul, Funky Lobes, Born as a Raggamuffin and Cut Out Apparel. Plus tasty eats from A Squared S Squared Catering.
While listening to sounds from DJ Lynnee Denise, Radio Rose and Ahficionados, you can catch the photography exhibit from a list of talented photographers. Finally, the night is completed with a live performance by Nola Darling and Malene Younglao.
I want to say I had an amazing time and one the highlights of the event was showing your love by signing the wall within the store. Thanks to Harriet’s Alter Ego we can take a look at some great pics. Enjoy!!
