Friday Favorites

These new bangles I purchased at a little boutique in midtown by my office. This new arm party tastes much better than the giant black and white cookie I attempted to get before I spotted these in a window and got distracted. Oh well, at least I saved myself the calories!

Have a happy weekend everyone!! xoxo

And the winner is....

Thank you to everyone who entered my first giveaway! And a HUGE HUGE thank you to those who have supported my little side business. I really hope you are enjoying your bracelets!!

On to the winner....Congrats to Lorena of COUTURE ME!! Your are the lucky winner of my original "STAN" bracelet, and another little gift as well! There will definitely be another holiday Justina Leigh Giveaway in the future. And just to give you a taste of whats to come, here are some shots of some holiday accessories I've been working on...

I wanted to create a holiday inspired collection that was way more whimsical and more girlish than my other styles. I've used sequin appliques, beaded silk and gross grain bows this time. All appliques are backed with soft fuzzy felt so they feel nice on your skin.

This bracelet is my absolute favorite! I'll be wearing this in various colors, probably every day!

 

I've even dabbled in some headbands as you can see in the back of the photo there. I'll be giving those as gifts over the holidays. I'm quite obsessed with hair accessories!

These will ALL be up soon on my Etsy shop and be sure to look out for a MAJOR holiday deal!

 

Justina Leigh is officially UNISEX!

I received my first order on a couple of bracelets for a man! I was so excited because I always thought my jewelry was a bit androgynous; well suited for a woman and just as well suited for a man! I was so happy when Curtis sent me a message asking me if I would work on something for him. He wanted it to have an edge and def masculine. We shorted the hanging chain on his "Samsons", added a spider charm to one and he picked out the old NYC subway token for the second!

Now just so show you how small this little world is Curtis happens to live in the same town as me, so ironic because someone else living in Manhattan is one thing but Greenpoint is just a small town in Brooklyn 20 min from Manhattan...it's just weird....maybe Williamsburg but, Greenpoint?? Ok I'm rambling, anyway so we decided to meet up for him to pick up his bracelets in person. After a little chat in the garden area of my building I learned he's ALSO an apple obsessed blogger, and an entrepreneur who is doing some amazing things in women's conservative fashion! Check out his blog Just Like Molly. I'm a firm believer in everything happens for a reason, and I cant wait to catch up with Curtis over a couple of drinks in the near future!

I was thrilled when I checked my inbox and he was so kind to send pictures of him wearing them at a wedding. When I saw these photos I immediately took note of his awesome bow tie! It's seriously so unique! So of course I shot him a little e-mail inquiring about it, and turns out its another Etsy buy! (god I love etsy) A Shop called Cyberoptix TieLab.

You can bet your little tushies there will def be a couple of these beauties stuffed in my BF's stocking this X-mas! Just too damn cool!! Don't you just love them?!?!
