Black Pearl in the press...
So we've had a couple of press items recently, which is always exciting. The first was some gloves and earrings from Black Pearl used in a shoot for the current issue of i-D magazine (one of my favourites!). They used the ivory lace gloves in a couple of shots, and a pair of vintage earrings in pretty much every shot, the stylist must have really loved them!
And in other exciting news, Jaime Winstone was spotted out and about in London wearing a Black Pearl magenta bow necklace! Look closely - you can just about see it!
I made the necklaces for an event with Daisy Lowe during London Fashion Week, where everyone was given a goody bag with various goodies. Jaime was obviously very taken with her necklace, maybe because it matches her red hair?! The necklaces are now on the website if you want to buy one, they are also available in gold and silver. I made 40 in total, here is a picture before they were packaged up:

New News
Finally! I have the new Bombshell wrap dresses in sizes 10 - 18! They were delivered yesterday and look amazing. At the moment they come in black linen, a black and green Japanese bird print, leopard print, and one special gold/green glittery fabric. Ooh have a look:
The new ones have been modified for a better fit, and now retail at £120. They have been so popular, the style just seems to suit everyone.
In other clothes news, here are some pictures of another new label, Instant Vintage. I love this line, I had the designer Anna Coleman make me the Girl Friday dress (shown below in red) and the 'Pencil Me Thin' skirt (shown below in tweed) in dark brown, and I wear them all the time! As well as the stock I have in the shop, Anna can also custom make pieces if you want a certain size or colour.
On the jewellery side of things I have been hard at work on some new pieces, which are quite different to what I have done before. Next week I will be doing a bit of DIY in the shop (well, my Dad will be doing the DIY part, I will be mainly instructing), in order to create a new display to showcase the new things. They are a lot bigger and more intricate as you will see in these sneak preview pictures:
So these beauties and more will be in the shop by the end of next week, do come and have a look! I'm especially loving the Faberge egg style pendants, they are a lot of fun to make.
Oh and here are some new nipple tassels, just to round things off!
