New Flower Hairclips

Some fabulous flower hair clips have just arrived in store to brighten up this gloomy February! Made by Laura Bennett of Retro Glamour Girl, they come in amazing colours and styles including hibiscus, gardenia, rose, daisy and orchid. I'll be listing them in the accessories section on the website today!

Show Me Your Wardrobe!

So I am very excited to be in Elle magazine this month, in the 'Show Me Your Wardrobe' feature. Show Me Your Wardrobe began as a blog by stylist and journalist Jackie Dixon. She photographs people in the fashion and creative industries in their six favourite outfits, and Elle choose some to feature in the magazine each month. It was hard narrowing down my wardrobe to a few outfits but these were the ones I chose...(note the small gardenia hairclip and black mini beret, avaiable in...oh, Black Pearl!)

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.
