B r o n z i n i  of LaBronz</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/43660830/zag-zig-short-skirt"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXKLk7TUQ1uD5NS2aR4rObC8tAbb2ZQzG3i0kxfEoDrPdeglyXP2se33SIZeoz1uSOFqkVfVS4NrgFpOhDFIwI3jjr4Zr5Rm8UButiAv6HGCUXzVFysAaqKO28wv4T2TKdSXIktkBLAZY/s320/a1.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></div><h1 style="margin-bottom: 4px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; width: 570px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">                                                                                                                                  <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/43660830/zag-zig-short-skirt" style="font-weight: normal;">Zag Zig Short Skirt $69</a></span></h1><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">When I spotted the skirt above on the front page of etsy I knew I had to see more of her designs. And when I started exploring her <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/LaBronz?ref=seller_info">etsy shop</a> and her <a href="http://www.labronz.com/">website</a> I was hooked on her creative design. The FIT grad's bio says, "<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I am a freelance fashion designer whose vision of design is through lightness of shapes and lines, forming garments reflecting architectural objects."  You can totally see the influence of architectural objects in her work. In fact she even sells contemporary light fixtures in her shop. While it's an unusual combination of things to sell, fashion and light fixtures, when you see them you will understand why it works.</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/76326717/build-the-light-4"><img border="0" height="284" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE8-cQVeuZUNLd33vMrBC-gDufgpzW4LIpSFPEbLHF6KyDCTS5AYM-baFH8opeWrnmeG-BzYUWnbvg6IvTliWqmsBOSglJW4fTTTr5UGPYzU8YJLzCsyGkVneT0uHz4euBFTdYpMEVIy0/s320/a4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></div><h1 style="margin-bottom: 4px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; width: 570px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">                                                                                                                                              <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/76326717/build-the-light-4" style="font-weight: normal;">Build the Light 4 $39</a></span></h1><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">She started creating these lights as a project for herself to have something out of the ordinary. The lights are meant to be practical and decorative, this way it's not just a set of light bulbs hanging in your room.  </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;">4 white light bulbs built in the asymmetrically setup structure.
