Hello there and welcome to my exciting new weblog - which is the techy term for an online journal or more simply a news page. From now on I can keep you up to date with all the latest goings on from behind the scenes at Lady Luck Rules OK. At the moment you guys just get to see the finished products, which is a shame because it's such fun along the way: from uncovering deadstock to digging about car boot sales, junk shops and flea markets, from learning jewellery making techniques to designing new collections and building the press campaigns. I meet so many kooky people along the way that inspire what I do, I want you to meet them too! I will uncover the process with the aid of photos, interviews, tips and keeping a daily diary when I take part in a trade/craft/consumer shows and travel away to source materials.
Then it's your turn! Under every entry you will be able to leave a comment. Oh yes, you can now have your say (should I be scared?). I would like to hear feedback, ideas, what you're liking and what you would like to see. I receive such lovely e-mails from customers who love their purchases, well this feedback can now be left online too - to show I'm not making it up, ha ha.
There will also be a fair share of light hearted fun stuff, pretty pictures, random stories and creative competitions. So make sure you check back on a regular basis and maybe even drop me a line.
Oh, and just for starters here is a picture of my in-house models and favourite band of all time - Johnny, Tommy, Joey (aww!) and Dee Dee - The Ramones. Gabba Gabba Hey!
I’m not very good at bloging, so it’s only a short message:
I also feel great responsibility being the first to comment, so I am a bit nervous.
This blog looks very cool! keep doing marvellous designs, you are one creative lady, so keep making your customers happy!!!

Hi Leona
We're two throughly fed up students who are at the last leg of our dissertation and looking for any kind of inspiration to get us through. We think you could provide that because we think you're absoulutely fabulously adorably brilliant and your jewellery kicks arse, (am I allowed to use that word on a blog?!) It's gonna be a long night Leona and not in the good way but tomorrow it's gets handed in and we get to have a raving night out-wearing of course our ladyluckrulesok stuff. Indeed lady luck does rule and we hope she comes through for us with these dissertations. Keep doing your thing Leona-we totally dig you, (it's so cool being able to blogg because I really can't pull these phrases off in real life).
Lots of Love Lizzie and Claire

Hey,
came across yer site a few months ago and wud just like to say how super-duper inspiring you have been to me! i'm in my last week of my fashion degree and i'm always popping onto yer site when i'm bored of doin my work! def gonna be purchasing a pink ursula (they seem popular so i better hurry up!) i really admire how well u have done fer urself, keep it up! *****
i got a pair of the jigsaw earrings for my bithday 2day, theyre so great! already all my mates have said how original they are!
amazing stuff! woo!
hey just wndering if you had any tips about where to buy any charms and things to make charms from (im very open minded) thanks emmax
hey emma,
I would start with my local charity shops, get to know the ladies who work there and they might start saving stuff that they know you like. Often shops have clearances and give the whole lot to the local chazza - it's this kind of find that can kick off a label. I would also trawl ebay especially in the 'wholesale' and 'job lot' sections. It takes a long time but at least your in the comfort of your own home!
Hope this gets you started...x
Damn, I want those Ramones stand-ups!
Where do you bought it?
*_*
Hey Leona!
I think your fabulous!
I was wondering if you could possibly create for me a necklace with another one of your cracker jack guns with a bullet? I simply adored the one displayed online, and unfortunately,(even though your website is checked religiously everyday), dissapointingly missed the oppurtunity to purchase it!
I also wanted to know whether or not you'd be interested in being featured in the magazine my friend and I are currently in the making of. We've decided it should be a mixture of fashion and music - NME or The Face meets Nylon! in association with the University of Birmingham. We want to feature indie-kitsch fashion and accessories, rather than the usual urban decay you find on the high street!
Of course I will keep you up to date with the progress we make in launching the zine!
Please let me know either way!

Hey Zarah..
Unfortunately the cracker jack gun charm was a flea market find so the necklace was a *one-of-a-kind*, but be assured when I come across something similar it has your name on it!!! Oh, and your 'zine sounds ace and I look forward to reading the first copy, keep us posted on all the news...x
Love your blog darling & your cigarette necklace has kept me off the fags for 1 year! i give them to all my mates who quit and they are quittin thick and fast to get one. loveulots mum xxxxxx
Damn, I want those Ramones stand-ups!
Where do you bought it?
*_*
Isabel, I made it myself!
I purchased an original poster from Ebay, took a giant photocopy of it. Then spray mounted onto a thick white board and cut around the heads. Lastly I made a cardboard folding stand and glued to the back so it would free stand.
Et voila, a Ramones cardboard cut out! I got the idea from watching the film "Rock'n'Roll High School". Have you seen it?
Lx
Heeeeey there,
Just thought I'd leave a comment on this entry cuz I'm also a crazed Ramones fan and just the other day made my first groovy purchase on your AMAZING site - Electric Daisy, Ramones - and I love it! Rocked it today with a quirky sailor look, dont forget the huge white-rimmed sunnies! WOO!
Anyways, adore your site...Can't wait to make my next purchase, hehe :)
love Sophia xoxoxox
ps - im seriously digging the pink leopard print backround. Tres cool :D
All I Can Say Is LADYLUCKRULES! OK!! HEHE.. luv ya Leona!
Hi Leona!
I ADORE your work, darling! You certainly DO rock!! I must confess, however, I don't want to tell my friends where I get all my cool jewellery that they always compliment me on from - what if they start buying stuff from you too? I won't get to be the fab one anymore!! Rest assured, I will be back...
Melissa. x
