Melanie Gayle, Snider Plaza

Amy Earring, in silver & gold

"For those of you who don't know this amazing fashion 'watering hole,' I'd like to shed some attention to Melanie Gayle, a store owned by a friend of mine, Melanie Ramon in Snyder Plaza. Having worked in the high-fashion industry prior for 6 years, I have seen it all. There are several reasons I like Melanie's store, but the main one is that I feel like what I find when I shop there is different and reasonably priced. That's a tough combination with all of the choices out there, but it's very consistent in my book and truly fits my lifestyle. When I get complimented on what I'm wearing, I usually have on Melanie's clothes.

That being said, for the first time ever, I am offering a complimentary pair of earrings (the Amy style in silver or gold) with a purchase of $350 in my jewelry during our trunk show tomorrow (Thursday) and Friday from 11-4. Even if you just want to browse her amazing 'cherry-picked' clothing assortments or pop in to say hello and introduce yourself, come see us. I promise you won't be disappointed. Cheers to you, Melanie!!!" - Amanda

Valentine's Day Jewels

It's almost that time of year...Valentine's Day. It's a day for watching romantic movies, binging on chocolate treats, and feeling sorry for yourself. Or if you're lucky enough, it's a holiday where men are forced by society to buy you jewelry, and who doesn't love that? Either way, you need to treat yourself this Valentine's. We have plenty of beautiful pink opal and red ruby jewels to brighten up your weekend. Go ahead, indulge yourself...or send some friendly reminders to the man in your life.

Gloomy Day

It's been so cold and gloomy lately, it's got us longing for the spring season to get here. So, while we prance around the studio in our bright Cecille Necklaces and Addy Multi Earrings craving warmer weather, we have some gloomy day movie suggestions. Some "snuggle up on the couch, not get out of your sweatpants all day" movies. What is your favorite gloomy day movie?

Say "I Do" in AS

We got an e-mail from sweet Kim today with beautiful photos of her wedding in Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands. She is wearing the Annie Earring and Gwen Necklace, both in silver. It is so flattering to have our work chosen to be worn on such a special and memorable occasion. We wish her and her husband love and happiness in the many years to come.

Gems, Gems, Gems

Today in the AS Studio we are preparing for Amanda's trip to Tuscon tomorrow for a huge Gem Show. There she will be picking out new gems and jewels for our 2010 Fall Collection (yes, we're already preparing for Fall!). We're sorting out what we have, and making a list of things we know we will need. Can't wait for her to get back, it's gonna get all creative and inspirational up in here!

AS Fashion Police, Grammy Awards

Award Season is upon us. The Grammys are always such a breath of fresh air from all the ballgowns and tuxes. It's fun, it's flirty, and it's young. We love seeing all of the fashionistas strut their stuff, and the always inevitable worst dressed. Someone is always in a horrible car crash of an outfit that you can't look away from, but want to terribly. Here are our choices of the best and worst of the night. Do you agree?
