E-STORE LAUNCH

It's finally here! EXCENTRICCA.COM After long hours of sweat and hard work, of nitpicking countless of bugs and imperfections, here is the official EXCENTRICCA online store. We know a lot of you have been asking and waiting (very patiently indeed) for this, so we're very excited for you to finally see the product of all our hard work these couple of months. Thank you to everyone who has supported this project from the start, and has this possible. We hope you'll enjoy it as much as we do!

So, what are you waiting for? Shop your hearts out!

NYFW - Spring 2014

New York Fashion Week has been a whirlwind, and after having my Instagram feed flooded by everyone and their mother with runway & street-style photos (seriously, how does everybody get to go?), here's a quick recap of my favorite looks for Spring/Summer 2014.

BCBG

Hervé Léger

Jill Stuart

Zimmerman

Alexander Wang

If you've caught the similarities, that's right, the crop top is going nowhere. We've seen an appearance this spring/summer, and for those of you who didn't get enough of it (like us), don't worry, the exposed midriff (well, more upper midriff than 90s Britney Spears) is sticking around for 2014. I don't know about you ladies, but I'm already yearning for spring again. In the meantime, maybe it's time to sign up to that Pilates class?

September & Updates

We're back! After a long restful summer, various apparent heat waves, Miley Cyrus' episode in the VMAs, and a significant darkening of everyone's skin tones -- September is finally upon us, which means getting back to work (or school)! Here in EXCENTRICCA, things haven't stopped moving just because of vacation time, so here's a little recap plus some updates to come.

Our June launch + showroom in Madrid was a huge success, with lots of snacks, drinks and beautiful jewelry pieces that you guys loved! Thank you to everyone who made this event possible, we had so much fun that we're definitely planning another showroom very very soon. Stay tuned for that if you happened to miss the last one (or even if you didn't and you're back for more!). Here a few photos from the evening:

On that second photo you can also catch a sneak peek of one of our photos from that last photo shoot we did, which were amazing. We'll definitely share a few more of the results on here once I get my hands on them, or even some snaps of them featuring in magazines (whaat?). It's definitely exciting times here in EXCENTRICCA, and we're so glad we get to share it with all of you.

We've also been busy restocking like crazy for the very imminent (more imminent than you think) opening of the e-commerce website, so you're free to order everything your heart desires once the time comes. And as always, we're constantly in the lookout for new, trendy designers from all over the world to add to our rapidly growing collection (if you follow us on Instagram you'd probably know that we made a trip to Thailand this summer, and who says you can't mix a bit of work with leisure?). And if that weren't enough, we're beyond excited to be working with local jewelers to bring our own, original EXCENTRICCA pieces to life. If all this doesn't make your skin prickle with excitement, we don't know what will.

That's all for now. Hope everyone had an amazing and relaxing summer holiday and that you're as ready as we are to get back to work!

xoxo

ps: Fashion Week(s) and all that craziness is coming up. Who's excited? Make sure to check back for our special updates on the fashion world!

Inspiration From Bloggers

Don't know about you girls, but we have a serious addiction with fashion bloggers (or really, blogs of any type! Food blogs, anyone?). So naturally, we've got a pretty extensive lists of blogs we're following/stalking. These girls manage to look incredibly stylish under any situation, and we know we're all secretly jealous of their clothes/trips/boyfriends/lives, in the most non-creepy way. Lately however, we've been noticing how a lot of these girls have a very similar taste in jewelry as ourselves, and often rock very similar pieces to the ones we carry! We thought we'd share these with you, and maybe it'll serve as styling inspiration to our Excentriccas. Enjoy!

Hope everyone is excited for the upcoming launch & showroom! For those of us who don't know what we're talking about (why aren't you following us on Facebook?), we're doing a little showroom to officially launch the brand and our much anticipated website! There will be drinks, snacks, music and plenty of jewelry. Unmissable! So for those of you who are in Madrid on July 5th, head over to MAKI (Paseo de la Castellana 89) anytime onwards from 6pm. We're dying to see you all!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week and see you soon ♥

Accessorizing For Every Style

No matter what time of the year it is, or where you're going, accessories can make or break any outfit. Some would even argue that it's the most important (and fun) part of getting dressed in the morning! With the highly-anticipated launch of EXCENTRICCA's website just weeks away, we've put together a set of our favorite pieces that would be perfect for every occasion and every style. Which one is your favorite?

BOHEMIAN

Perfect for music festival season, the hot summer days, and that trip down to the lake you have always wanted to make with your friends. When it comes to accessorizing, don't be afraid to mix up the fabrics, textures and colors! Colorful braided bracelets with heavy metal, turquoise stones, and, of course, stack-able rings (the more the merrier!).

CLASSY & SOPHISTICATED

For the ladies at the office, those evening drinks, or simply the days you feel like wearing a pair of stilettos. During those days, remember to keep the accessories simple and elegant, always in the golds and silvers (with the exception of some sparkle). Here in EXCENTRICCA, we love our simple gold pieces, such as this delicate necklace, gold and black statement ring, and gold accent earrings - perfect for any classic & sophisticated look!

CASUAL CHIC

Lastly, the casual chic for the lazy Sundays running errands, hanging with the girls, or the days you don't want to put too much effort into your outfit but still want to look stylish. Accessories in this case especially allow you to pull the whole outfit together, but at the same time there's much more choice  and we love that creative freedom! Here we have the black and gold Turkish bracelet that started this whole project (!!), a bit of understated bling in a dainty necklace, and a fun geometric ring.

So with which one do you identify the most? Boho, sophisticated or casual chic? Or all three? There's no reason why you can't switch it up everyday, and experiment with different styles! If you liked our EXCENTRICCA pieces and can't wait for the opening of the e-store, head over to our Facebook page for early orders, or alternatively, shoot us an email. 

Hope everyone had an amazing week and an even better weekend coming up. Happy Friday!

Update: Shoot!

It's been some time since we last updated, but fear not, many exciting things have been happening during our abscene from the blogosphere. A couple of weeks ago, we had our first official shoot, and it was definitely a thrilling experience! We had so much fun mixing and matching all the pieces we've so carefully chosen and the results are just incredible. Here's a little sneak peak, because we know you're dying to see the lovely pieces.

What do you guys think? Leave us your opinions below, we're always delighted to hear from you. Hope you're excited for the big launch, because it's coming very very soon. We'll leave you with a little behind-the-scenes video, because of course we had to share some of the fun with you!



Best way to start the week, or not?

Spring Trends - B&W

We're back with our spring trends reports and this time, to contrast the loud vibrant florals of the last post, we'll focus on the opposite - monochrome. You'd think that B&W is eternally in style (and it probably is!) but for this spring/summer, you definitely cannot go wrong with some black and white palettes.

The best part about this trend for spring is that you don't even have to work very hard to transition your dark (virtually all black, let's face it) winter wardrobe for the warmer weathers. Just add a couple of white, airy pieces and you're good to go! As seen on the runways, the classic black and white combinations range across all patterns, shapes and silhouettes - from b&w florals to the most minimalistic b&w combinations.

And lastly, if you're a fan of nail art, why not try incorporating this trends onto your nails? It's a more subtle way to wear the runway trends while making a definite statement at the same time. We love it when people get creative.

So are you loving this monochromatic revival? Or do you think spring should still be all about the colors? Let us know your thoughts below.

Hope everyone had a wonderful spring break and is ready to get back to work. We sure are!

Spring Trends - Oriental

Fashion Week acaba de pasar volando y antes de que nos empecemos a preocupar por las colecciones de Fall/Winter 2013, vamos a comentar un poco la temporada de primavera! Sabemos que muchas de vosotras estáis contando los días por despertaros con solecito y lucir piernas pero no os preocupéis que ya podéis ir dándole ese toque de color a vuestros armarios (si desde donde nos lees ya te paseas en bikini, envidia nos das!) Esta primavera verano del 2013 va a pisar fuerte con sus estampados, y los que más estamos viendo son los estampados orientales.

So Fashion Week season has just swept us by, but before we start worrying about Fall/Winter 2013, let's have a closer look at what's coming for us this spring season. We're all dying to be able to show a bit more skin and bring back some color to our wardrobes, but let's not panic, warmer days are just around the corner (if they have already arrived to where you live, then lucky you!). Spring/Summer 2013 is going to be BIG on prints, so let's start with one of our favorites: oriental influenced.

No pienses que los estampados florales es algo predecible para la primavera, porque la verdad es que la fusión del estilo Occidental con la esencia de lo Oriental hace que esta tendencia sea todo lo creativa que quieras. Por otro lado, si no eres de las que se sienten afines con las flores, tranquila que hay todo tipo de estampado con el que podrás destacar..

"Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking." But not just any type of florals, the Eastern touch to these prints really add it something else, making them so much more fun to play with. If you're still not too big on flowers but like the idea of loud prints, there's also plenty of this...

Además, las influencias orientales no vienen solo en estampado. Asegúrate de añadir seda y prendas "kimono" a tu colección esta temporada...

And the Oriental influences aren't just found in prints. Be sure to find lots of silk and kimono silhouettes  all around this season.

Desde luego, sí que parecen prendas de lo más cómodas. Esperemos que estés tan emocionada como nosotras para el cambio de clima y darle una vuelta a tu armario.. ¿Qué opinas sobre esta tendencia?

Esperamos que hayas tenido un buen fin de semana y que empieces el lunes con fuerza. Si te gusta lo que ves no olvides suscribirte a nuestro blog y poco a poco iremos cobrando más fuerza :)

One thing's for sure: they certainly look comfortable! Are you as excited as us for the warmer weathers and aery pieces? What are your opinions about this bold trend? Will you give it a go or stick to your denim shorts?

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend! Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss our next installment of coming trends...

Packaging Try Outs

Ya queda menos para que llegue el fin de semana, así que ánimo a los que se os esté haciendo difícil!

Nosotras no paramos ni un minuto ya que muchos nos estáis preguntado por la fecha definitiva y esperamos estar listas muy muy pronto!

Para ello estamos trabajando día y noche y aquí tenéis algunas fotos de las pruebas que estamos haciendo para el packaging.

 Queremos que el envoltorio sea tan original y especial como las joyas que llevarán dentro y sus futuras dueñas. Por ello, hemos estado probando todo tipo de telas, cuerdas, tamaños, diseños, estampados... Y creemos que de momento éstos son los que más nos gustan! ¿Qué opináis?

Os dejamos algunas fotos para que podáis echarle un vistazo. ¡De momento no descartamos nada!

______________________________

The weekend is almost here and we wanted to spice this up a little for those of you who are really suffering it. We feel you, it is being a long and tough week. We haven't stopped for a minute, but for each of your comments and "likes" every moment is being too rewarding!

Here you have an exclusive sneak peak of the try outs for EXCENTRICCA's packaging. We want the outside to be as special and exclusive as what it will hide in the inside, and it's future owner. And so, we have been trying out all kind of colors, cords, shapes and we won't stop until we create something perfect for you.

This far these have been our favorites, but anything can change!
If you already love this, be prepared for what's coming... You have NO idea.
