New Collection alert! New Collection alert! I was beginning to feel the party season last week at the i-D "i-Dentity" exhibition launch at the Fashion and Textile Museum and then the even wilder after party at the Oxo Tower. I found myself dancing to Morissey between two 7 foot tall transvestites and a Vanilla Ice look-a-like. Sorry Henry. I was having a ball until I bumped into Navaz the Fashion Ed at Cosmo Girl and she told me Elle Girl had closed down. Weep! That was one of my fave reads! At least we still have Cosmo Girl.
Back onto the subject of new baubles...Party Popper is an explosion of sassy handmade earrings using dinky vintage parts in a rainbow of Autumnal shades with the odd splash of neon pink. I'm really loving black dresses at the moment so these earrings provide the edge of colour - perfect for parties! I'd also like to welcome back the 1980s Heart of Glass necklaces and this time around we have the Kissing Kids necklace in snazzy silver!
If you're beginning to feel the chill of winter then snap up a pair of our bright pink Go Go Gloves - fingerless break dancing gloves customised with the Rainbow Fun pins. Righty-o, it's 6.30pm and we've got a few Outerspace B-movies to watch and then tomorrow I'll be making a pile of Pop Drop - Joan Jett earrings for The Boobtique which is the online store for BUST magazine based in New York. BUST will be featuring the Joan Jett earrings in their December issue gift guide and then selling them too. Hurrah! Oh oh oh, one last thing...I'd like to congratulate the lucky listener of the Berlin based Radio Fritz who won a LLROK Pop Rocker necklace. I hope you have a hot-to-trot time wearing it!
whoooaaaa gettin me the gloves o yesss

WOW!!! i love all of the new stuff!
Oh no I'm so sad Elle Girl has stopped being published :( now THAT'S why it wasn't in the shops! Just wondering-do you know why it has suddenly stopped?
Imogen xx
I so loved Ellegirl it was fave read of the month I too wondered why it wasn't stocked in my local corner shop....have to read my back issues and reminsce about the good old articles it used to feature
I was so sad when I found out about Elle Girl! :(
Love all the new stuff...especially the gloves!!!
x
Yay! I just ordered me a pair of Go Go Gloves! Can't wait for 'em to arrive!! I'll bet you named them after the Wham! song Wake Me Up Before You Go Go where they all wear them in the video. As a child of the 80's that makes me all nostalgic and fuzzy inside. *SIGH!*
Also, I was quite upset when you sold out of the Raining Kittens necklace before I had a chance to bag myself one but guess what - someone was selling one on ebay and I placed the winning bid. Yay again!! It arrived yesterday and I LOVE IT!
Gutted that Elle Girl has closed. I'm twenty-four and I preferred it to the ''Grown-up'' version, myself.
Oh My WAOW! I excitedly made my way to my sorting office today to pick up my package, and as soon as I saw the bright red envelope my heart started racing, THE cutest packaging for my oh so true bric a brac bargain hunter t-shirt (I want a tote now!) and my pink loltia earrings, fab! Super fast posting too, yeay! Your stuff's amazing Leona and I'll be back for more when i've got some dosh! A gazillion thanks ('',)
wow! heart of glass is amazing in real life, much more amazing than in the picture! and the mod drops are so simple yet look stunning on, i saw them in 'our shop' but didn't have any cash on me to buy them so it's so good to have them dangling from my ear now. you have one very happy customer in south east london!
hey sorriess i know yave prob been asked like a million billion times but what do you use to drill those little holes in everything!! i really super want one! hehehe
xoxoxo
No more ellegirl? noooo, im so sad, it was a fantastic mag, why?? (love the new stuff!) x
WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYY no more elle girl!im going to cry!!why why why why?itd better be a good reason!!otherwise that elle girl editors in for a beating...........well not from me im too weak lol
I just ordered the go go gloves! THEY RULE! Oh and i no this has nothign to do with the jewlary(soz dont mind the spelling) but today i saw the cutest skater at the park i love him and i got his hotmail addy. GO ME!!!!!
THANK U X
Oh dear...I think this is what a broken heart feels like. Along with Elle itself, Elle Girl was a must read of mine! It was so inspiring and individual. It was good whilst it lasted!
On a happier note tha new earrings rock! Oh so cute plus I lurve those Heart of Glass necklaces. I have checked them out to see what colours are there but *fingers crossed* tha oh so adorable blue one is there! I need something to lift my spirits!
Love Lorna xXxXx
Hey, me again. I know Ive just sent a message but Ive only just read Charlies comment and I just wanted to say "go you!" Arent skaters just tha cutest?! My oh so lovely boyfriend is one...Its kinda sad but Im buying a Vans tee thats oh so appropriate, it has tha slogan 'My Boyfriend is a Skateboarder'on it. Once again well done Charlie, Im proud :0)
i want that top, appropriate lol! wouldn't be for me, but there is a skater i have my eye on! they're the cutest kind'a boy hehe :) xxx
im so upset about Elle Girl; besides NME it was the only magazine i read as i choose to boycott the usual teenage mags that tell you how to 'get sexy in 60 seconds'.
i wrote in numerous times and even visited the staff in London for a magazine review and lunch.
It will be mised.
im loving all the new stuff, especially the gloves. they'll look crazy with my (fake) fur leopard print coat!
x x x
i received my yellow smurf sunglasses and star crazy earrings yesterday and I LOVE THEM!! thanks so much! and i definitely need to order your new stuff!! too cute!!
I'm really sad about Elle Girl closing too - I'll never understand the politics of the magazine publishing industry. Well I do. Money. That's what it boils down to, I guess Elle Girl wasn't shifting enough copies, maybe it was too cool!? Does anyone remember the relaunch of Nova - it closed. The fabulous Minx magazine - it closed. Magazine publishers would rather put their money into more mainstream titles. I worked very closely with Jill Wanless (fashion ed), Steph Stevens (fashion director) and Gemma Lacey (fashion assistant) - but I know they will all go onto wonderful things. In fact I spy Gemma's styling credits all over September's Nylon - go girl! This kinda thing is also the reason I set up LLROK and work for myself - no one will ever be able to come and close me down! Hurrah!
FWOH! Just checkin' out the new goodies...TOO HOT!
I neeeeed those gloves :O:O (awesomeness with skinny jeans alert!) And the Kissing Kids is just adorable!
So sad Ellegirl has closed (You can add me to the list of people who were wondering why it wasn't in the shops!)- It was such a super mag! It wasn't lame like the others: "Get Sexy In 60 Seconds" LOL Well said Hannah!
Sophia x o x o x o x o x
PS - O, and I just wanna say that my Jolly Roger has become a daily wear! Great Goin' once again madam! I added a bow to his head...
Wow people actually replied to my comment i feel so special and i love the sound of that tee!
Just wondered wether anyone watched fashion rocks on chanel four this morning. It was rele kwl i thought it might only have hip-hop music in it but it had blondie and bon jovi that made my day and i can't wait to get my fingerless gloves yay! thank u xx
hey leona
just seen the new additions to the website...loving the she's my kinda girl feature!
recieved my fashion market 11 book in thw post today and i'm just reading it now with a cup of tea whilst the rain beats down on my window...:)
Oh yes, it was great viewing and has given me some fab ideas for textiles. Plus tha whole 'Fashion Rocks' concept was oh so clever, long overdue in my books!
Love Lorna xXx
OMG HOW CAN IT HAVE CLOSED DOWN!?!?!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! *sobs*
I didn't know magazines just DID that??
It was the only mag that was not completely ditzy/slutty. It was just plain COOL.
Dammit.
Wow I'm off to the Fashion & Textile Museum tomorrow and I can't wait! :D Really looking forward to seeing the i-D exhibition as well!

Just ordered some cool stuff for my girlfriend, Leona was fantastic and did all my special requests and answered all my picky questions!
Her service was amazing, so quick, so friendly, so helpful, Leona you are a star!
Didnt want to write too much incase my GF reads this!
Thanks Leona.
I'm gutted about ElleGirl - I'm subscribed to it, so I wonder what'll happen to the subscription?!
Got my Fashion Market books today, wowsa, how inspirational are they?! It makes me realise more than ever that I want to be a crafty self employed girl!
(ps. you live in my dream house!!)
Hi, wow my picture is up on the site, but i'm not actually from Bristol i'm from surrey! just thought i'd let you no can't wait for my goodies to arrive bi x
hey, i was wondering if you possibly have any of the jolly rogers charms left? because it is my favourite necklace and i have lost the charm 2 times already and got it back, but this time seems to be third time unlucky! the charm fell off and i put it in my wallet to be safe which then disappeared :'(
thanks
zoe :)
Oh dear Zoe! I always keep a few of everything that sells out so click my name in pink directly below this message which will take you to the Flying V product page. Go through the checkout process and put "jolly roger" in the comments box. I'll attach the charm to the chain with a super-i'll-never-fall-off-jump-ring-so-i'll-be-yours-forever. Leona x
i got my radio days badge today! its so awesome, and so are the ramones! everyone shud buy sumfink frm this site!
Heya,
Just got my first order from Lady Luck and oh my word am I pleased! The 'paint it black' brooch and 'dynasty' necklace I bought are so awesome that I have to find somewhere to go go tonite so I can wear them immediately. Am also devasted at the demise of Elle Girl. I bought it every month (even though I'm 25!) and savoured every page. If anyone is looking to fill the void that Elle Girl has left I've been reading an ace American magazine that can be bought in bigger newsagents called 'Nylon' which is in the same vein as EG and just as cool. Not sure if anyone else reads it but I absolutely lurrrve it x
Ohmygosh! FTM was amazing!!!! Woo hoo made me ever so happy :D
Also popped down to Carnaby St and got myself an anchor earring (can't remember what it's name is) but I am SMITTEN!!
Thank you Leona for being amazing!
xxx
I love my 'groove is in the heart' necklace. I ordered and soon after you'd sold out - relief =D
Emma

Helloooo Leona!
The new collection makes me wish I had my ears pierced!!
I can't believe Ellegirl has closed - It rawked!! I wasn't allowed to enter the modeling competition this year, I was gonna enter next year. I guess I never will now - boohoo... I'll have to gemme some Go Go Gloves to make up for it!
Thankies for the amazing stuff I've baught so far & plz carry on brightening up my days!
thank you so much! im getting my dad to order it as we speak...!
it is so funny, i had bank cards, cinema cards, money in that wallet..but all i actually cared about was the pretty starry wallet itself and the necklace!
xxxx
Today I received my order in the post... it brought such a big smile to my face! The way in was beautifully packaged with a cute little badge and pink bubblewrap!! and the jewellery is so much more amazing in real life! Thank you so much :D xx
NO MORE ELLEGIRL?!?!?! I'd heard rumours....and prayed they weren't true, but as LLROK is one of my gospels, I have no choice to believe it. WHY??? There can be no good reason for cancelling the only decent teenage magazine! I mean, come on. CosmoGirl doesn't even compare! That's it, I'm going to organise a protest. That and a strongly worded letter of digust to the person responsible for this travesty! I mean, ElleGirl! What will I read religiously now, with it gone?!
Love your website and new stuff, as always. Looking through Rock'n'Roll Charm School and imagining buying some jewellery dulled the ElleGirl pain for a moment or two. Your incredible collections always make me feel better somehow :) x x
YER! a protest, lets get a petition or something, i love ellegirl :( doing something about it will make me feel better...actualy, buying some jewelry may help too... :) xxx
hey leona, i just got my new stuff in the post yesterday and, as usual it was ace. i heart the ramones alot an its pretty groovy 2 hve them swingin from my ears. im gonna use my pucker up necklace on the super cute guy at work 2 help numb the pain of the whole ellegirl shannanigans and my dice necklace is soooo kl as well.
lovein ur wrk, xxxx
Leona
I got the badge I ordered and what can I say, it's awesome. People keep asking where I got it. I now know where some of my christmas gifts for my friends who have evrything are coming from now.
thanks xxxx
I got my stuff couple of days ago and love the gloves been wearing them every day! thank u
xx
Lady Luck simply rules!
When my Curly Wurley earrings came today (ultra fast as usual :), they were so georgeous I bought the equally delightful Darlin' Daisy's! I'll be wearing them all winter to brighten up my mood, and, as always, I'll be getting lots of compliments from my *very* envious friends!!
n.b. My boyfriend loved my Pink Ursula Unicorn necklace on me so much I bought him the blue one. We both wore them on holiday together, and it was simply magic! Thanks so much Leona! xxx
Hey!
I got my Debbie Harry brooch the other day,i adore it thanks!The packaging was rather cute.Loving your work.Looking forward to ordering more.

Wow! i ordered these earings for my sister as an xmas prezzie really early because i thought they would take ages to arrive but they came after only 4 days. Im inpressed. And the earings (converse ones) are so cute i might fall in love with them before i give them to her and end up keeping them! cheers! love-n-stuff xox
the mailing service was amazing! in just a few days, and each one was wrapped up so well! i'll need a bucket to keep all the things that i wanna buy in! :D haha
my favourite collection is definatley the riff randell part! i ordered both a pink transistor siter brooch and a pink sneaker necklace, i'm such an emo! i also <3 the cuffs (very groovy! i bought the fruity mama one) and its so sad that the cutie pie one is sold out!
