Black Pearl Christmas Decorations!

So a couple of days ago I put up my Christmas decorations, which this year feature black, gold and silver baubles and glittery stars, black and gold hanging wrapped presents and a bit of a party scene involving cocktail shakers and martini glasses. They don't look nearly as good in the pictures, you'll have to come to the shop to see the full effect!

Pandemonia on Carnaby St!!

The good people of Carnaby St got a bit of a shock this afternoon when latex clad girl about town Pandemonia posed for a photoshoot for Void magazine. Luckily I was there to capture the action!

The Black Pearl Halloween Party 09

To show off all the changes I made to the shop I decided to throw a Halloween party last Thursday. It was SO much fun, and there were some pretty amazing costumes. I went as Paris Hilton, which required a lot of fake tan and clip in hair extensions. I looked pretty hot, as she would say. Haha! Also I created a bar at the back of the shop and added a pink neon Bar sign. I think I want to have a bar there all the time now. Probably wouldn't get much work done though...

Makeover!

Over the past week I have been making some changes to the shop - re-arranging cabinets, painting things black, changing the displays around. It's been a lot of work, but I'm quite impressed with the results if I do say so myself - take a look...

My fabulous new full size mannequin was originally living in the What Katie Did boutique in Notting Hill, but they were looking for a new home for her. I happily obliged, and her she is looking fabulous in a black vintage dress.

House of Blueeyes - S/S 2010 I FEEL LOVE

It was the House of Blueeyes show last Friday, which was pretty amazing. I had been working on gold leather studded accessories to go with the futuristic disco theme. Here are some pictures of my accessories on the lovely Julius, Theo and Valeria... Prepare to be wearing this hotness come next Spring!!!

New Bombshell Dresses

After the media frenzy surrounding Bombshell (Nigella Lawson bought 12 of the wrap dresses!) a new design has been added - called the Nigella dress! It has a full skirt and three quarter length sleeves perfect for Autumn.

Laya Gaga wears Black Pearl for House of Blueeyes!!

So exciting, Lady Gaga wears the spike and chain neckpiece from my collection for House of Blueeyes. Shot by Ellen Von Unwerth, the images and interview are in the new issue of Out magazine. If you cast your mind back to February this year the same neckpiece was worn by Alice Dellal in the Blueeyes fashion show. Gaga looks amazing!

I love these shoes!!

Shoe designer Aruna Seth is having a sale on her website, ooh if money was no object...click here to see the full range.

Some holiday snaps...

I just got back from a week in Chicago and thought I'd put up a few of my pictures!



We saw the White Sox Play. Technically we're Cubs fans but they were out of town.

Um, how amazing is this wedding cake??

A cool Art Deco building.

Some pretty flowers.

Really?!

Some cool record covers in a shop window.

I love some flashy signage.


Another pretty flower.
