Looks We Love: Animal Prints


Sure, the trend of animal prints is nothing new, but this season it's back in all sorts of ways, and it's fierce. With this kind of edgy trend, edgy jewelry is a must - like mixing a lot of oxidized sterling silver with gold and pyrite. For those that aren't familiar, oxidized silver is basically just silver that has reacted with oxygen, and the result is a gunmetal color. The Jennifer Earrings, Pulsera Bracelet, Elle Earrings, and Katie Choker are all made of oxidized sterling silver material, and all look to die for with this trend. The Free People cardigan is good for those of you that want to take baby steps into the trend. It goes well with jeans, leggings, or a skirt with tights and boots. The chiffon blouse from Equipment is a classy and chic way to take this look. Pair it with the Sophia Earrings in pyrite to add some rockstar to your classic look. This See by Chloe crossbody purse is sold out at most places online, but you can find it here. It's a timeless bag that you will definitely get your money out of. Pair it with your everyday casual clothes, as well as stuff the strap into the bag and carry it as a clutch - adorable!

NYC Stone Buying Trip

Right around this time of year when the leaves are turning colors, and the air is getting cooler, Amanda is at her work bench and designing her next collection - Spring/Summer! This past weekend Amanda, and her assistant Andrea took to New York City to get some inspiration as well as search for the jewels and gems that make her collection so unique. Stones in lemon, turquoise, baby blue, chocolate and soft purples made their way back home with them in their suitcases. Amanda is now back, and hard at work designing a gorgeous collection that we can't wait to debut for you guys in January. Keep on the lookout for some sneak peaks!

Halls Best of the Best Party & Trunk Show

Last week we had our Halls trunk show in Kansas City. The night before the trunk show, Halls threw a "Best of the Best" private shopping party. The party was a celebration of style and a private night of shopping with 10% of purchases going to the United Way of Greater Kansas City Community Care Fund. The show was fabulous and fun - we always love seeing our friends at Halls!

About Trunk Shows

A trunk show is a special event within the fashion world in which an artist or designer puts on a special display of his or her work for review by a select group of people, like a boutique or a division of a department store. They are referred to as "trunk shows" because a designer or sales rep will literally show up with a trunk of merchandise to show off. When Amanda has a trunk show, she too brings a trunk, filled with the entire current season's collection. This is an opportune time for customers to come and not only meet the designer, but also have their pick of the entire collection. Last week we had a trunk show at Louis Morgan in Amanda's hometown of Longview, TX and it was fabulous, as always! We have another trunk show this week at Melanie Gayle in Snider Plaza in Dallas. Melanie has been carrying Amanda's jewelry since 2005, and we always look forward to her events. Melanie Gayle Trunk Show: this Thursday & Friday from 10am to 6pm. Stop in and see all of the new fall product.
