What’s new for 2009!

 

 

I am really looking forward to this year.  I have so many ideas for gorgeous jewellery for your little cupcakes.  To start the year off, I have just finished these fun and fabulous headbands.

Fun and Fabulous pink button headband

These fun headbands are made with a shiny pink button and finished with a sparkly swarovski crystal.  The headbands are covered in fabric and are really comfortable to wear!   The headbands are just $8.00 in the cupcakes store and there are tonnes to choose from!

I love using buttons at the moment.  I think they are really fun and pretty.  I have  used tiny covered buttons in these great rings and hairclips

 

Gorgeous Cherry Ring and Matching Hair clip

These also come in lots of different colours so check them out in the Cupcakes Store

Don’t forget its Valentines Day soon.  The best day in the year to let those you love how you feel about them.  To celebrate love I couldn’t resist this gorgeous “I love you” heart pendant

"I love you" red heart necklace

I couldn’t resist making these beautiful bracelets for gorgeous little girls.

It’s a good hair day!

I love how a gorgeous little hair clip can totally transform a little girl from a wild child to sweet and innocent!

Here are a few of the latest clips from Cupcakes!

 

This gorgeous rose feels a bit vintage.  It is made from polymer clay and features a pale pink centre.

 

This little pair of matching roses and just perfect for spring.  Made from polymer clay they would also match perfectly with the big vintage inspired Rose clip.

 

These initial pins are made to order.  Wear one or wear more and you’ll never call her by the wrong name again!

I love hair combs.  They can be worn so many different ways.  If you little girl has fine hair, just pull it back into a pony tail and pop this one in the side.  This one is made from swarovski crystal sliders and is wire wrapped for strength.

Don’t forget, we love to custom make our jewellery, so if there is any you would like me to make just for your little cupcake, just email me at michelle.dube@bigpond.com

Birds of a feather….

I’ve been working on these gorgeous little feather clips and I’m just in love with how cute they look. Feathers will be everywhere this winter, so your little cupcake is going to feel incredibly ‘fashion forward’ in these gorgeous hair pieces.  

   

  All hairpieces are wired or sewn onto the comb or clip so they are incredibly strong.  The clips are great for fine hair, or young fashionista’s, and the combs work really well with hair that is thicker or hair that is pulled back into a ponytail or bun .

   

Lauren looks absolutely gorgeous in her spotty feather comb.  I have lots more in the store and don’t forget, if you would like one designed to match a special outfit, I’d love to make one just for you.

Too Charming

Charms are still amazingly popular at the moment.  Everywhere you look, there are new ways to wear charms.  So many of my mum friends are loving their collection of Pandora charms and today, I saw Guess return to the more traditional looking charm bracelets.

 Baby Charm Bracelet

 

The beauty of a charm bracelet or necklace is that it tells a life history.  Every one is different.  Charms mark special occasions, such as birthdays or holidays.  Charms are given by friends and family who mean the most to us. Charm bracelets are a wonderful conversation piece and become heirlooms.  I still have my charm bracelet from my childhood, and  I can’t wait to hand it on to my daughter, Grace, when she is old enough, so she can start adding her own.

 

Rachel Zoe is an A list Stylist in Hollywood and in her book “Style A-Zoe” she has a list of what she calls “Jewellery Box Basics”.  She says:  “A simple chain for everyday wear, ideally with a charm that is personally meaningful.  It becomes a signature.”

 

I think this is so true.  How many little girls are so proud of the ballet shoe necklace, or the puppy charm that looks just like their dog.

 

At Cupcakes, we are designing a beautiful range of sterling silver charm bracelets for newborn babies, toddlers and even big girls.  Our charm bracelets feature the sweetest, cutest charms I can find, and are made especially for your little girl, with the charms that tell her life up to now.  We can even include birthstones and initials.

 

We also have available charm necklaces, again featuring charms especially chosen for your Cupcake.

 

 Pewter Heart Charm

 

All these charm bracelets and necklaces are available in the store and more are being added all the time. 

 

Please email me with any questions or ideas for your own personalised Cupcake Charm bracelet.  I’d love to help you create a gift that will be special for many years to come.
