Recently sprung from the 9-5 life, Attalie Dexter’s hit the ground running with her new jewelry line, Shades of Grey. With recent appearances at Refinery 29, Worskshop, and Salon Blonde, this baby is on fiiiiiire. We’ve snagged a few of Attalie’s one-offs, a handful of dramatic statement pieces and everyday heirlooms, all with rare vintage details. And, bonus, this busy gal’s agreed to an interview:
What’s your favorite piece in your collection right now?
I love the heavy ID bracelet…I wear it every day. I also loving the Pulse necklace…it seems to look great with so many styles!
What is the first thing you remember making intentionally? What was the first thing you made that you were proud of?
I used to always craft together my own little pieces of furniture for my dollhouse out of household objects. I couldn’t find the right pre-made pieces that looked right to me or fit my allowance-sized budget, so I started making my own!
I was really proud when I won the cookie contest in my girl scout troop! I won first prize in the peanut butter category!
Do you have any style icons?
I have so many! I always go back to 60s and 70s era Yves St. Laurent and his muses, also the always perfect advice of Diana Vreeland. Modern icons I am looking to lately are Lou Dillon and Nicole Simone.
Where would you rather be? A hammock in the woods or a beach-side bungalow?
Definitely the beach! I love the ocean.
Couldn’t agree more, girlfriend. Thanks for obliging us! Better get yourself some Grey, these baubles aren’t going to be around long.
