Syndey Simpson and SOUK!

Wow, it's been a while, but unfortunatly a horrific cold got the better of me!  But I'm back on track, and have bundles to show.

First of all, after visiting the SOUK event I have to recommend this wonderful company, Green Therapy.  It's a company offering hand made, organic skincare, and the prices were crazy cheap.  The lady who was running the stall, was so professional when letting me try out the products.  No dunking your fingers in the tub, but using a cute lil spatula.  I liked that!  So check it out, http://www.greentherapy.uk.com/   I tried the hand cream, and it was delicious!

I also had a good chat with the organiser, Samantha Agnew, and then spent a good half hour viewing her jewellery site.  Exceptional!! http://www.facebook.com/claspclothing#!/SamanthaAgnewJewellery  She was so helpful on the day, and she's got another fair booked up soon, which I'll hopefully be showcasing at!


NOW!  Sydney Simpson!  I've been meaning to put some previews up of the stock she sent through for Clasp, and finally have some previews.  I can't wait to get these up for sale, cause I know people will love them. 

When Sydney asked me what I wanted, one thing I specified was some Rose Gold jewellery.  My theory is, Gold is glamorous (or tacky if done wrong!), Silver is stylish....and Rose Gold is for the girl who knows her jewellery, and wants to stand out.  Check out these gorgeous items,

"Florence" necklace on a 18'' chain.  

"Secret Key" earrings

I adore those earrings...and pretty tempted to keep them for myself...but then I realised that if I kept doing that, there wouldn't be much left for the site.  She did some amazing bracelets for Clasp as well.  Both gorgeous, and both so, so different.  Few different colours available as well, so let me know what you like, and just let us know if you want something a bit different!

"Marilyn" Bracelet

"Eccentricity" Bracelet

The second one is my absolute favourite.  The colours, are just exceptional, and the pieces are so unique and random!  I love it, and again, I'm staying strong.  So if you like it, let me know and I'll keep it aside for you before they go on sale next month!


I've loved working with Sydney so much these last few months, and fortunately, we now have something new and exciting coming up!  I've been in talks with a wonderful company, Womankind, and from next month, Clasp Clothing, will be selling some gorgeous bracelets inspired by this amazing company.  A donation will be made from each sale, directly to the charity, so you can look gorgeous, and do your bit to help women all over the world!

That's all for now, but the next designer will be revealed next week!

Photo shoots and Fashion Shows!

Hey everyone,

Thank you again for checking out the blog, and thanks to the lovely people who have been so supportive on the facebook page too!

It's been a great week, as a gorgeous order of bags came through on Tuesday, from the fantastic Alice Cahill of  "Alice's Boutique".  Now I started with a very small selection, so I need you all to tell me what you think.

Alice makes everything herself, and uses some absolutely stunning material, which I just love.  Check out this brocade print...

I don't even think this picture does it justice, but the detailing on it...is truly fabulous.  She did some beautiful clutches, that are so right to give an outfit, a bit of wow!

Then there was this black and silver version.  The fabric has such a luxurious feel to it, that it's impossible not to just fall in love with it, and it's most certainly a bag that can be dressed up, or down!  Now I'm showing you a picture of the purse...but again she did some clutch bags as well.

I can't wait to have these photographed for the site.  Hopefully we can capture the texture of the material, which is the real beauty of it.

This week was also the very first, Clasp Clothing photo shoot, with a ridiculously talented photographer, called Keith Adams.  Keith is a local man from the North East, who does some exceptional shoots, and I was so, so excited to work with him!  I'll be compiling the look book for Clasp Clothing, very soon, so will hopefully have plenty to show you! 

Was so much fun during the shoot, and I even managed to sneak a few of Hatastic's designs into some pictures.  The "Black Swan" inspired fascinator, complimented a black vest and beige harem trousers wonderfully!

And finally, I really hope to see some of you at the SOUK Fashion Bazaar, this Saturday!  It's very last minute for me, but I spoke to the organiser, Samantha Agnew, and she's just so helpful!  I won't be exhibiting, but will be there meeting people, and handing out some fliers for Clasp.  Good luck to all the people who are exhibiting however, and I'll definitely be chatting to as many of you as possible!

Speak soon, and thanks again.

Nicky

Hatastic!

Wow, Wow, Wow!

Today I received some amazing pieces from Chloe Haywood, who is the brains behind the beautiful brand, Hatastic!!  What I love, is that Chloe makes all of her stuff herself, from unique pieces.  It means that no-one else can be wearing what I'm wearing!  You may have also spotted her in Cosmo....

She's done an amazing collection, exclusively for Clasp, so I couldn't help but share with you a little bit early...

This fascinator, is truly my favourite.  The inspiration is from the sensational new movie, Black Swan, and completely reflects the ballerina feel, which has hit the High Street.  Perfect for a sophisticated look, or even to mix up a casual outfit, which is how I'll be wearing mine!

How pretty!

The next piece, is a stunning, buckle detailed hair band.  Gorgeous sparkle, is complimented by the frayed edges. 

Now I don't want to reveal too much just yet, but please do let me know what you think of these pieces.  We have these and plenty more for sale once the site goes live, so keep an eye out.

Thanks for dropping by!!
