Allie is an artist in every sense of the word. She brings artistry to everything she does, be it photography, experimental music, graphic design, cooking, or jewelry-making. Her website, an artistic work in itself, is PoseManikin (www.posemanikin.com). I first started following Allie about a year ago. I was drawn to her leather necklaces that conveyed for me a spirit both exotic and natural. I finally ordered one a few months ago, and everything from the personalized packaging to the unique design of the necklace made it special for me.
You can see more of Allie's designs at the PoseManikin Etsy store, on her PoseManikin website, or on her Facebook page. As I've followed Allie on Facebook and Twitter over the course of the year, I've seen her post amazing photographs and recipes. She has designed cd covers and shot portraits for the indy musicians Lee Hester, Damon Jones, Set on 7, and Jennings Music. Her portraits and self-portraits each convey to me the haunting, timeless quality of two of Allie's musical influences: Depeche Mode and David Bowie.
Allie and her husband Josh, a digital painter, eat, drink, and breath art. I am so glad to support an independent artist of Allie's talents! Beaches, best friends, and bars. I recently took a vacation with my dear friend Tami to Miami! Before I left, I ordered the GEO Leather 10 necklace from the hip, creative genius of Allie Oliver-Burns, the founder and jewelry designer of PoseManikin (www.posemanikin.com). Within a couple days, a beautifully decorated envelope arrived containing my new leather and metal necklace along with a handmade card made just for me. PoseManikin's GEO designs of leather and metals feel both natural and edgy and move easily from sea to sand, from neutrals to tribal prints, from day to night. As I packed, I realized the GEO Leather 10 was the only necklace I'd need for this trip.
My vacation started as I put on the GEO Leather 10 with my neutral travel outfit: Four hours later, it was wonderful to run out onto the beach! I wore my Body Central kimono dress for cocktails and dinner. I flipped the GEO Leather 10 necklace over to create a solid color to go with my patterned dress. The next day Tami and I went out to lunch on the Lincoln Road Mall. The GEO Leather 10 necklace went perfectly with my tribal-print dress from Fossil. Tami tried on the necklace too with her white Victoria's Secret sundress. Our last night I pulled out my favorite Urban Outfitters Staring at the Stars Ever After dress. I love fringe! So I loved how the fringe on the hem of my dress and my scarf is picked up by the fringe on my GEO Leather 10 necklace. Since I've been home, I wear my GEO Leather 10 necklace all the time--today with a black crewneck sweater and white skinnies, last weekend with a t-shirt, a long wrap cardigan, and jeans. It really does seem to go with everything and adds a bit of edge and interest to my outfits. I'm in love with all PoseManikin's GEO leather collection and want more! I told Allie, creator of PoseManikin, about my love of this collection and about this article, and she offered us the exclusive contest opportunity. Just tell us your #1 fashion travel item--either below in a comment or on the OMF Facebook page, and you could win the amazing GEO16 Leather necklace and a mystery piece of jewelry to share with a friend or to keep. Do it now because we're closing the contest in 3 days, Wednesday night, March 27, 2013, at midnight. I wish I could enter! At the moment, I have my eye on the GEO12 necklace...
