The Looks of Dupre Designs

The Spring Collection is to die for. Here is Marielle’s story and some of our Dupre favorites…

Marielle started making jewelry out of her Ole Miss dorm freshman year and has been killing it since.

“When I was younger, I loved beading. I used to make my dad take me to Michael’s Craft Store to buy beads and I was determined to design jewelry even in middle school.”

My family has always supported me. “My mom helps me bead and package my designs. We always lose track of time and end up staying up until 2 a.m. I have even taken my dad to market before”

Now, Marielle’s style inspirations come from a mix of Coco Chanel and Beyonce- the perfect combo of classic and bold and vibrant.

Her new line has been inspired by her travels. Amsterdam, Belgium, London, Germany, and of course, our own, New Orleans. This summer, she is continuing her travels for more inspiration and more fun pieces for us!

Marielle is also working on releasing a leather collection with lots of metallic leathers, neutral leathers, and gemstones.

She says that this line has pushed her to think outside of the box and try to make new designs with natural materials for the perfect bohemian/ beach goddess look.

Marielle’s dream is to continue designing after college- but she’s got even bigger plans. Marielle plans on continuing her designs with purses, sunglasses, and shoes!

All That Sparkles: Meet The 17 Year Old That Created A Jewelry Empire

IMG_2776

17 Years Old And Running A Successful Jewelry Business? It’s About Time Y’all Met Sara Caroline.

Let’s start from the beginning. Last fall, Sara “Sar Car” Caroline, Junior at Oxford High School, needed a necklace to wear to picture day…

 

IMG_2769

She found one at a boutique in Downtown Oxford but was in huge trouble when it broke the next day, leaving her again without a piece to wear on picture day.

IMG_2087

That’s when she had the idea that would change the course of her life forever.

IMG_1976

She took a suede cord lying around the house and restrung the necklace the night before picture day.

Processed with VSCOcam with c1 preset

This was when the choker came back on the scene. She had the idea to combine the necklace with a choker, using a really long cord.

IMG_1947

The next day at school, her friends were OBSESSED.

IMG_2778

Her friends started bringing her their broken necklaces, and she’d string those up too.

IMG_2071

Everyone at school kept asking her about them, so she started making them as gifts.

IMG_1989

But it wasn’t long before her parents had enough. The operation was taking over, they said, she needed to start selling them.

IMG_1945

She made an Instagram, @jewelsbysarcar, and everyone started tagging their friends.

IMG_2052

She made a website where she’d release 15-20 pieces at a time, and they’d sell out in 10 minutes.

That was so exciting to watch them sell out so fast. I would put them up on Sunday afternoon and they’d be gone in 10 minutes. ‘People must like them!’ [Laughing]

IMG_2780

Then Archer + Arrow, a boutique in Corinth, MS, invited Sara Caroline to sell her line in her store. Her first batch sold out in a week.

IMG_2009

The same thing happened in Oxford when she started selling at Therapy, and at their location in Memphis.

IMG_1949

Every time I’m making something, I think about the person that will end up wearing it, and the memories they’re going to make while wearing it.

IMG_2080

The Instagram blew up and started to expand to different towns. People started tying them in different ways, like wearing the choker necklace as a bracelet.

IMG_2774

She put out a request for people to apply to be Ambassadors, and 370 people applied. It took her a week to sort through them, even with the help of close friends.

IMG_1974

Now Jewels by SarCar is sold all over the South, and her most sales come from Tulsa, Oklahoma, very far from Oxford, where it all started.

What is Nimble?

Nimble is an app that lets you rent dresses from other women at your school. It’s a great way to find a dress for formals, game days, weddings and more.

IMG_1453

We’re a group of friends that launched the app at Ole Miss in January of this year. It’s done really well. Over 1,500 dresses have been posted to the app. Those dresses have been rented hundreds of times by women here on campus.

We’ve proven out the model at Ole Miss. Now, we’re hiring Campus Directors at every school across the south to help us expand.

The Voices In Our Head That Tell Us We’re Not Skinny Enough

BodyImage_Feat (1)

Ole Miss Junior Alexis Smith

Some mornings I look in the mirror and the first thing that comes to mind is: oh my God, I don’t even have kids yet.

What follows is always different: sometimes it’s directed toward my cellulite, other times at my love handles, occasionally at the stress pimple on my cheek. It’s always some sentiment of self-hate: maybe I could be skinnier, tanner, a little less me and a little more cool girl.

 

You know what’s shitty? My experiences in front of the mirror aren’t special or unique.
