Annie Blackberry News + Fashion Report

Hello!

What an incredibly busy time - I feel lucky to be busy in these tough economic times and feel humbled by the amount of support and sales I have thanks to you all! Most of what I earn goes straight back into the business but maybe soon I can start paying myself a little - yay!

Here's what I've been seeing a lot of in Vogue, Fashion Quarterly, Lucire, 1am, etc:

-Black Lace
-Lace or acid wash print 80s sleeveless gloves
-Fashion is moving from the 1920s into the 1930s (Art deco era) and from the bold pop geometric look of the 60s into the late 60s and early 70s. And of course we have this long-running love affair with the80s: slouch pants are here to stay, pants that are cut just on or above the ankle, etc
-Boots
-Colour as well as good old black and neutral toned clothing
-Dame Edna for MAC make up - make those eyes bright blue, green, purple etc
-Chuck Taylors - always
-Paisley
-Bootleg as well as skinny jeans
-Chain, chain and chain! My speciality and my favourite :)

Please remember I accept INTERNATIONAL orders as well as NZ wide.

My jewellery is handmade from lots of different bits and pieces sourced from all over the world as well as New Zealand :)

In Annie Blackberry news...

I just heard from www.toggle.co.nz that Sunday Star Times contacted them for a photo of Annie Blackberry's Lego Jewellery! When I called them they said that it would be in the 'Going Up' Meter column of their Sunday magazine! Yay!! M2 Womens Magazine did a 2 page spread on Etch which is Annie Blackberry's primary stockist of the 16 stores we have. Although AB didn't get a mention ( :( ) our jewellery can be seen in the centre of the photo accompanying the story.

Thank you to Tauranga Interior Designer and Artist and friend, Antonia Cooney, for hosting a wonderful Annie Blackberry jewellery party!! It was so fun. Her lovely Mediterranean-style house provided a beautiful backdrop for a packed party! It was lovely to meet everybody and I was very encouraged by the enthusiam (and sales) generated for AB.

IF YOU'D LIKE TO HOST AN Annie Blackberry JEWELLERY PARTY just email me :) The hostess gets a free piece of jewellery and prices are discounted. Plus it's just really fun!! Thanks to Lillybeth Melmoth of A Beautiful Education for her help and make-up expertise.
