Justina Leigh is officially UNISEX!

I received my first order on a couple of bracelets for a man! I was so excited because I always thought my jewelry was a bit androgynous; well suited for a woman and just as well suited for a man! I was so happy when Curtis sent me a message asking me if I would work on something for him. He wanted it to have an edge and def masculine. We shorted the hanging chain on his "Samsons", added a spider charm to one and he picked out the old NYC subway token for the second!

Now just so show you how small this little world is Curtis happens to live in the same town as me, so ironic because someone else living in Manhattan is one thing but Greenpoint is just a small town in Brooklyn 20 min from Manhattan...it's just weird....maybe Williamsburg but, Greenpoint?? Ok I'm rambling, anyway so we decided to meet up for him to pick up his bracelets in person. After a little chat in the garden area of my building I learned he's ALSO an apple obsessed blogger, and an entrepreneur who is doing some amazing things in women's conservative fashion! Check out his blog Just Like Molly. I'm a firm believer in everything happens for a reason, and I cant wait to catch up with Curtis over a couple of drinks in the near future!

I was thrilled when I checked my inbox and he was so kind to send pictures of him wearing them at a wedding. When I saw these photos I immediately took note of his awesome bow tie! It's seriously so unique! So of course I shot him a little e-mail inquiring about it, and turns out its another Etsy buy! (god I love etsy) A Shop called Cyberoptix TieLab.

You can bet your little tushies there will def be a couple of these beauties stuffed in my BF's stocking this X-mas! Just too damn cool!! Don't you just love them?!?!

Wedding Attire

I hope everyone had a fantastic 4th of July weekend, and for those of you outside the USA I hope you had a fantastic weekend as well!!  I surely did! The boy and I had a wedding to attend and I really wasn't into buying a new dress for this one so I decided to wear my American Apparel convertible dress...here's how I put it together (side note due to the rushing and running around I TOTALLY forgot to have my boyfriend take pics of me in my outfit at the actual wedding, these were taken a day later oopsie!

My Vintage Dolce and Gabbana gold Mesh shoes

Black leather Chanel

Swarofki Crystal bracelet - A gift from the Boyfriend :)

The American Apparrel dress

John decided to stray from his usual skinny tie and wear a bow tie. It's Super trendy and I think he just looked fantastic! I wish more men would dress outside the typical box. BTW I learned how to tie the bow tie pretty damn good!!!

We had a lot of fun! :)
