Sydney Evan at Neiman Marcus!!!!


I just met one of the Greatest Genuine Hearts Ever!!!! 

Rosanne Karmes, Designer of Sydney Evan!!! 

I'm still in awe that I don't even know where to begin… 

Rosanne Karmes of Sydney Evan, one of the lead trend-setting Designers that has taken over with the brand's signature Spiritual styles like Evil Eye & Hamsas, Lucky and Sydney Evan's celebrity coveted "LOVE" word charms. Ranging from a variety of 14k gold and pave diamond charms to the luxurious Beaded bracelets and necklaces!!!


The ENTIRE LINE/COLLECTION is just to DIE FOR!!!! 


Sydney Evan launched in 2001, however, Rosanne found her niche with jewelry and accessories as a 70s kid where she learned to be creative with her dolls, making them clothes and accessories to dazzle in… So, stringing beads, making accessories & jewelry has been a lifelong passion of hers… 
And it CLEARLY shows in her work!!! 




When asked, "where does the inspiration behind all this beauty come from", she simply replied, "FAMILY"!!! Her family is her ABSOLUTE EVERYTHING, WORLD and inspired her the most… 

What I really LOVE is that all her animal charms have names, which are given by her daughter… TOO ADORABLE!!!! 


Let's just marvel over some of these GORGEOUS TIMELESS PIECES!!! 





Rosanne says, when designing it's all about the mood and how she's feeling at the moment which is why you see a lot of personal expression, inspiration, concepts of spirituality and so forth…. 

LOVE, LUCKY, LAUGH, HOPE, BELIEVE… 




Neiman Marcus definitely knows how to welcome you!!!
The cookies were personable with beaded designs and SE logo…. 
HAUTE!!! 


Rosanne, just like her Collection, Beautiful, Colorful, Vibrant, Fun, Chic & Elegant!!!! 

Who doesn't LOVE an earthy Designer, who welcomes you with pure open arms!?! Approachable, Loveable, My New Bestie!!!! 


I watched her mingle and enjoy the customers as they gawked over her collection before our sit down and she was so nice and extremely hands on… 


Q. When you first started your line, did you ever imagine becoming as big as you are? 
A. "No one was doing anything like I was 12yrs ago"… She dreamt it, had a vision but really didn't imagine this… No idea how she ended up here she adds, then recollects how back in 2008 she received a call from Bergdorf Goodman wanting to carry her line and it's just been a non-stop rise to the top ever since! 

Q. So, how does a successful designer such as yourself balance work and family? As you appear to be very hands on… 
A. "An AWESOME Nanny that holds everything together during business hours and the AMAZING HUBBY!"

Q. Are you looking to adopt any adult children? 
A. "Yes! In Houston only… Here you are" LOL!!! 

Q. Do you like taking celfies? 

CELFIE!!!!! 


Yes, I had more questions but the vibe between us was so AWESOME that I truly enjoyed just getting caught up in great conversation with her… (shrugs) 

I'm in ABSOLUTE LOVE with the Designer as well as her Collection that she dedicates and named after her children and father, "SY"!!!

Rosanne Karmes of Sydney Evan a TRUE "GEM"!!!!

She even gave me one of her signature "LOVE" charm keychains!!! 

MUAH! MUAH! MUAH! 


Rosanne will also be available in Neiman Marcus tomorrow 04/09 and I'm DEFINITELY going to drop back in on my new Bestie to buy one of her Shy by Sydney "LAUGH" charm pieces… As I'm a little shy and y'all know how much I love to be chic and enjoy laughter…. 

P.S. The "Laugh" charm was inspired by Jimmy Kimmel and Howard Stern wives, upon request!… LOVE!!! 


CLASSIC WITH A TWIST!!! 

"WHAT'S WORLD WITHOUT LOVE?" - Rosanne Karmes
