Art Nouveau Jewelry

My next tee design is inspired by art nouveau jewelry. I love the symmetrical elegance of the designs. I am hoping to create something casual to wear everyday but that would also look great under a suit for work. Creating a similar beauty as seen in the actual jewelry may prove to be a bit of a challenge using only one color and 2 dimensions... A challenge I look forward to conquering.

Mucha Inspired Logo


This is our logo. An original design inspired by the Art Nouveau movement in Paris at the turn of the century. I love Alfonse Mucha and Aubrey Beardsley, also graffitti (a drip obsession!).

Sweet Beginnings

Beginnings...with an "s"...oh yes. That's life, starting over and over again! Urban Lily is one of our best beginnings yet. A fine collaboration of female minds and creativity. Check back often. This journal is our journey...inspiration and ultimate creation of a line of limited edition boutique tee shirts. You will love them so much they will have to be "pryed from your cold dead fingers". We promise!
