A Haute SisStar
Most of ya’ll know I am a firm believer in supporting local businesses and designers. There is nothing like having a one of a kind design. With that said…I am so excited and honored to introduce to you Jennifer Bernard, owner and designer of Haute Baubles Jewelry. Haute Baubles Jewelry came into my life about six months ago and I have been hooked ever since. The design, time, and love Jennifer puts into making her unique pieces reconfirms my love and respect for things that are handmade. Whenever she post her finish piece(s) on-line, I actually feel she had me in mind. I swear I hear the piece(s) call my name…lol!
Now let’s get to know Jennifer and Haute Baubles...

Now let’s get to know Jennifer and Haute Baubles...
SiS: Who is Jennifer Bernard in five words?
Jennifer: Emotional, Silly, Loving, Passionate, Caring.
SiS: How long have you been a jewelry designer?
Jennifer: I have been a jewelry designer for almost 4 years. I am totally self-taught. I keep telling myself that I need to take a class, but ironically enough I just don’t have the patience to sit and listen to someone teach me how to be creative.
SiS: What does Haute Baubles mean and how did you come up with the name?
Jennifer: Haute Baubles... lol Well first things first it is pronounced HOT BOBBLES…lol. People have such a hard time pronouncing it. Actually one of my best friends actually came up with the name, and I truly wanted something that exuded class and elegance... but the pronunciation of it, gives it a little bit of edge.
SiS: What or who inspires you?
Jennifer: I get my inspiration from everything... from a picture I see, to a song I hear, to my daughter making a suggestion on how a piece should look. I truly take everything in, and whatever comes out is what it is!!
SiS: What is it like to see your pieces on the runway of some of the hottest fashion shows in the state?
Jennifer: OMG, I must admit this question made me tear up. I can’t even put into words how I feel when I see someone wearing my pieces. Especially just "regular" people walking down the street or taking a selfie and posting it on FB or Instagram. The fact that I was able to create a piece of jewelry or a scarf, that makes you feel them feel pretty, and beautiful, and hot, and good about themselves... man that in and of itself is the best compensation ever!!!! I hope that makes sense...I guess in a nutshell it makes me feel damn good!!!

SiS: What do you do to relax? Jennifer: Make jewelry and watch reality TV!! SiS: If you could design for any celebrity who would it be and why? Jennifer: Without hesitation Beyoncé... I am a Beyoncé fan to my heart and I am determined that one day she will rock a piece from Haute Baubles!!!! Mark my words, I am claiming that one!!! SiS: What is stylish to you? Jennifer: A woman or person who is confident in their own skin and clothing... that’s stylish. If I had to be specific. as far as clothing... nothing like a button down white shirt and a pencil skirt. Clean and classic. SiS: Name one thing you can’t live without and why? Jennifer: I can’t live without my daughter... she grounds me and makes me who I am!! If you are talking about material possessions... my cell phone. Lawd, please... please don’t let me leave my cell phone at home. I feel as if I have lost my right arm!!! lol SiS: What is the best advice you could give to another SiS wanting to pursue her passion? Jennifer: Never...ever give up, and never be afraid to start something new. I was 34 when I began this journey, and I never even knew this creative side to me even existed, and that I was as good as I am. So don’t be afraid... follow your gut... and just do it! | |
