akong, london.






Don't we just love these?! Love the use of mixed material .. the rawness with the soft elements .. and the fact that it's all hand-made makes each piece unique. Creator Nicole Akong started her career many years ago but launched her sexy label Akong in 2010 in London. The pieces are quite pricey yes .. but then again I wouldn't expect any less. Rock on Akong! / P. x

its all about the decoratives.



It's more fun when there is interaction right? First time the brand is going in this direction with jewellery display but I really think it works. Easy to shop and maintain. Well done us! Love / P. x

healing jewellery?


I woke up nice and early today to attend my first yoga session. It might be a phase or I might actually continue this through this time around .. Let's hope it's the second option! The practise is based around both your inner and outer health focusing on your core, flexibility and breathing patterns. In other words .. it's amazing for you!

My trip to the States is getting nearer and nearer and as I am visiting Arizona, which is one of the most spiritual and energetic areas of north America, it's the perfect time to pick up some (spiritual?) items for a future project. Was inspired by the practise and lessons learnt today and thought to maybe combine it with something that is constantly growing on the summer/spring 2011 catwalks. Have you ever heard of crystal healing? Well a lot of people that are very spiritually engaged believe that rock crystals and stones can, in a similar way to yoga, balance your inner chakras and magnetic forces. It might not be used in a similar way on the catwalk but you can not avoid the truth .. it also looks shit hot!

Definitly browsing through the many crystal/stone shops found in Arizona when I get there. Hopefully I will get the chance to bag a couple of nice pieces for myself.

guess where i'm gooooing? :)



Didn't take any photos from the nightshift this time around. Got one from our new jewellery destination which looks pretty cool. Had our visit in today and it went really well .. But it left me with no breaks at all as I was super busy. Sometimes that's needed I guess ..

On the flipside something quite amazing happened. I finally booked my tickets to the States!! Going with my sister in a less than 2 months to visit my dad and celebrate his birthday and I'm super excited! Been missing it so much and can't wait for all the shopping .. And the food!! Yumyum .. And I actually love the fact that I'm going there with my sister .. :) Yay!

Some images from last visit:



So see you all in about two months my American muchachas! Love / P. x

smashed it?


Looking good people .. Nightshift went well with everyone praising the new floor layout. Got a message from my manager saying I should be proud of our work. Sweet .. :) But when most people dragged themselves to their beds to embrace the sweet act of sleeping I had to stay awake for a meeting I had at 12.30 .. Really hard but totally worth it. Met a wonderful careers coach that is helping me with potential future plans .. So all and all a successful meeting. However after being awake for 30 hrs and waking up after 7 I feel a bit out of place. And tomorrow is a bright and early day as we are expecting visits in store. So I'm nipping off with two thumbs up for a successful day!

Sleep tight London! / P. x
