A good press day!

Well, I never expected to be featured in the Wall Street Journal, but my pom pom earrings (available at Beklina, a gorgeous boutique in the US) made it in!! I love a Hawaiian shirt!!

And on the day my new collection officially launched (today!) I was lucky enough to be featured on the wonderful Design*Sponge. I'm an enormous fan of the blog (I read it every day over breakfast!), so I'm more than thrilled to have my work featured!! Thank you!

More sneak peeks!

Another sneaky peek at some of my new collection!! I'm just putting together the lookbook for this collection (it'll be going on sale on my website next week!) and these are a few of the photos that made the final cut.

Photos/styling by Sibell Barrowclough, hair and make-up by Dolly and Rhonda

Can't wait to launch the collection now!!

Last chance for sale bargains!

I'm hard at work putting the finishing touches to my new collection, so this week is your last chance to grab a bargain in the A Alicia Sale!

Events!!

I've just updated my events page with three fabulous up-coming events. Two are wedding fairs (one this weekend!) and the other is Craft Central's One Day Designers Sale: Fashion coming up in February (I'm very proud to have a necklace featured on the flyer above!).

Click over to my events page for details of all the events I have coming up over the next few months and maybe get a date or two in the diary!

Sneak peek! Photo shoot for the new A Alicia collection!

My new collection is almost ready for launch and Sunday saw our little flat once again transformed into a photography studio (with the help of a giant roll of paper hung in front of our book shelves!) for a fantastic model shoot!

I worked with such a lovely team for my last shoot, so I couldn't wait to work with them again. Sibell Barrowclough was behind the camera and the Dolly and Rhonda girls were in charge of hair and make-up! Our gorgeous model Agnese (an architect by day) looked amazing, and my lovely assistant Emily made sure there was a constant supply of tea!

The new collection will be coming out very soon, so watch this space...(and grab any sale bargains you have your eye on before they're gone!)

Organic thread!!

Okay, so a few spools of cotton thread might not seem like something to be that excited about, but in my on-going quest to make my work as eco-ethical as possible, I'm always thrilled when I find a new ethically produced material or, as in this case, one of my fabric suppliers adds organic cotton thread to their range! I'm also very excited about finding uses for the lovely wooden spools that the thread comes on once I've used it up!

New A Alicia workshop packages - Masquerade Masks!

To welcome in 2012 I've just added two lovely new workshops to my workshop website - great for hen-parties!!

There are two Masquerade Mask workshops to choose from - Cats/Foxes or Burlesque - both the perfect way to start a hen-do, especially if you're going on for a vintage themed or burlesque night out! The workshops use eco-felt and vintage trimmings, sequins and beads, and no crafting experience is needed to make something beautiful!

The workshops are also a great way to celebrate a special birthday and you can book for as few as 3 people - so why not treat someone to a crafty birthday!
