It's the day after Christmas...

and I'm working on some mini, itty bitty things. Today I finished up some cute little red leather coin cases that I am adding to an Etsy store that I opened a few months ago, but never got around to working on.

The Etsy shop is called NKHenry Editions and i'm using it for some projects that I started recently- stuff that's handmade straight from me to you:). I plan to carry lifestyle novelty items in this store like Ipod cases, cosmetic bags etc. I also have some cool pencil/pen cases in the store now, and I 'll be steadily adding new stuff over the next week or so.

P.S. new bags will be coming to the nkhenry.com website in January!!

Money Karma?

Just in time for the Holidays:)

So I went a shopping today, yes I'm one of those last minuters...I usually don't get started until about a week before Christmas each year. So anyway, at this particular store, which shall remain nameless, the cashier gave me back $27 too much change. That in and of itself is remarkable, but what makes it even more remarkable is that the item I bought was exactly $3.00 and I gave her exactly $3.00!

I was confused about the transaction so initially I thought I had mistakenly given her a $20 dollar bill. But I looked in my wallet and woala the only $20 I had with me was still there. How this happened who knows- blame it on Mercury retrograde, but I did lose $20 about 3 weeks ago...

So I text my friend about my little transaction and he tells me that I should give I back, God will bless me 10 times more he says... Well, Im already out the store I say....

So then I go to another store right after this and the cashier at this store gives me back .30something cents back too much, but I realize it before I walk away and I gave it back. Go figure, I guess the leprechauns are at work.

Happy Holidays!

Where's Perfecto?

Our Perfecto bag which was to debut this Fall has been postponed. I decided that the design needed to be reowrked so that it is truly Perfect. It will be made in leather instead of the original waterproof nylon that I originally had the sample made.

So, Perfecto will be revisted in Summer 2011. Thanks to those who were interested and emailed me on this one. Keep me workin!

Nice fall look

New Arm Candy!

What's cuter and more chic than a bowtie bracelet?

I absolutely love this bracelet! Here I'm wearing the leather bracelet in this season's hot color, Grey.

We reworked our bowtie look that we first debut last season as a bangle after I was inspired by these new Louis Vuitton shoes pictured below. We made it as a snap bracelet so the bracelet fits nice and snug on your arm and the bowtie remains front and center.

 
The bracelet is also available in Chocolate and  Black & White (which is a very chic look for evening).

This will definitely be your go to piece when you want to add a little punch to your look, be it day night or in between.


Available  in our online shop at http://www.nkhenry.com/, $42.

What's Good so far

Mercedes Benz Fashion Week for Spring/Summer '011 collections is under way and so far here are some of the collections I am really liking...

Alexander Berardi

Love this jumper.

I also really like the ethereal dresses in muted pastel colors from Tadashi Shoji. I'm really looking forward to seeing highlights from the Michael Kors and Adam Lippes show, they rarely disappoint.  

In contrast, the Duckie Brown S/S'11 collection is well, not my cup of tea. I usually like what they make but their collection looks like sleepwear mostly. I have seen girls here in Philly walking around in pajamas, with the straight out of the bed look, um nasty... For a designer to incorporate this styling into designs and put it on the runway is almost insulting.   

Why pay Duckie Brown prices for something that looks like you can probably find at the nearest Conway?

More of my $.02 on fashion week to come..

I love finding new stuff

Pink Diamonds is a cool label with some some chic affordable pieces, most under $100. I will definitely be adding some of their pieces to my wardrobe this Fall and Winter. You can find a good assortment of their pieces online over at yesstyle.com

Here are some of my faves, but they have a lot of nice stuff worth checking out.

Love this one.

Love the zippered sweater!

CUTE LOOK.LOVE THE HAT.

New stuff

Check out these new earrings just off the press. I was inspired by some fly girl at a flea market wearing a brass pair of earrings with a similar shape so I decided to make my own version of them in leather. We used a sturdy, yet lightweight leather on pure copper earwire to further complement the boho chic look.

I call them half moons obviously for the shape.They look amazing on, plus they are light as a feather.


These are a limited edition style, we only made several pair so get them while we have them. Only $24, these are a steal, baby.


They are available only in our Limited Edition store over on Smashing Darling here

Kitten lounge shows us some love

Our ultra chic leather bangle made it on Kitten's Lounge's Project Accessory. This piece is part of our permanent jewelry collection and is available in our online shop. Still affordable at $30-40 (various sizes).

Project Accessory is a series of posts in a year long project which looks to present designers and their pieces to Kitten Lounge's readers while also highlighting how they are an essential element to the overall outfit and the lifestyle through this weekly webisode format. As an Accessories Expert, Kimmie Smith has worked with a number of brands who have signed on to this project.

She did Accessorizing for Brunch where she tackles how visiting a space is the perfect place to show off your space! What does this mean? Kimmie gives you some great tips on how to wear this piece and how to accessorize it with your clothes and other accessories.. Cool idea.

Check it out here

good find

This shirt is perfect. I love it.
from Yeojin Bae 'Crossroads' Spring Summer 2010/11. she's too skinny though.

Femme Leather cuff = Love

This is one of my favorite pieces in our jewelry collection. I have plans to expand on this style for Fall, possibly in some exotic skins like snake and croc too.

I rocked this earthy Terra colored one all Summer and it will carry me right into the Fall...

Get it in our shop here.
