Adorn Yourself at Atelier

420

I’ve known about Atelier by AdornUSA for a while, but I’ve known the company’s founder, Arlene Aranzamendez, even longer. We initially met when she did some graphic design work for a company I used to work for, and have managed to keep in touch via seemingly random encounters over the years.

A few years ago, Arlene opened an online-only jewelry shop, then expanded to a small boutique in Madeira, and now has a cool spot in Hyde Park Square right above Tanya’s Image Salon. The new boutique is filled with the kind of bold, unusual pieces I can always count on finding at Atelier: crazy-colorful statement necklaces, multicolored snakeskin clutches, and all sorts of jewelry overflowing with (tasteful) bling of the highest order.

There’s a good selection of clothes, too: party dresses in bright colors, several on-trend matching sets, and a tropical print vegan leather pencil skirt I’ve had my eye on since I first visited–y’all know I’m all about tropical prints this season. They’ve even started to carry beauty products by Tokyo Milk and fragrances by the awesomely-named line Juliette Has a Gun.

Arlene has a great eye and a mind for business, and I’d love to see Atelier expand to a ground-level storefront someday. Until then, I know where to get my fix of dynamic styles that can’t be found anywhere else in the city.
