Anna Sabino interview for Lucid

Thursday, April 23, 2009

Are you accessory obsessed? Then you may recognize the celebrity fan brand-Lucid! I met up with the super chic designer Anna Sabino to chat about her line and get the inside scoop. The Poland native came to New York and while studying she became fascinated with design after taking a glass blowing class. Following the fashion trends as a former model she is well knowledged on hot looks and what’s in. Her brand Lucid shortly after began and has been making huge waves in the industry. Lucid is already in over 100 stores worldwide, making this 2 year old brand one to follow! The feminine and flirty handmade jewelry line is delicate and airy so you can wear the pieces without feeling weighed down. I love the Tiny Circle necklace that has 7 infinity circles, its classic and artsy all at the same time. On a personal level I always love hearing what girls carry in their bags, so I had to ask her. Anna’s bag contained: Hairspray, a coat checker tag that she said she never can seem to find when needed (LOL), 3 elf glosses (she is a big fan), flip video camera, iphone and a camera (for constant imagery inspiration). It’s always great to hear women who are entrepreneurs and starting their own businesses, her words of wisdom are: “If you get into creating something, create things that you like and would love to wear. Set your standards high, because if you like it, others hopefully will too. Most importantly, create something you love.” For more information check out lucidnewyork.com .   And because she is so awesome she is offering all elf fans 20% off your order with the coupon code “elf”.

I also love hearing what is inside women's handbags as well. Personally, I carry my cell phone, camera, ipod, wallet, make up bag (including elf products like elf's lipstick), my keys and some pen and paper. What's in your bag? As for accessories, I love them and have way too many. I have an entire rack of necklaces and earrings that I wear. I find that you always have to coordinate what you wear with your accessories and make up.

I think that creating something of your own is amazing. My best friend and i have thought about making our own cosmetics line. We have created several eyeshadows and lipglosses, but we still have a lot to work on. I love using products and accessories from up and coming entrepreneurs. I say, why feed the big corporate monsters? when you can get products cheaper and made with love from someone local.

I am a small girl, but I love big bags, because I like to carry alot of things. I love reading what other ladies carry in their handbags to compare. Some items I can't leave without are my cell phone, my make-up bag (with elf cosmetics of course), my wallet, my bible (I just feel like my day would be horrible without it), at least two pens (in case someone needs to borrow one), and extra pair of earrings (I had an earring fall out, so always be prepared) and and umbrella (I live in Arkansas, you NEVER know, LOL!!!)

The jewelry is gorgeous!! I carry much more in my purse than I need. Other than the necessities(cell phone,planner/address book) I have my camera,make up to do my own make up(as well as a army),a toothbrush and paste,hair supplies and a slew of other things. I carry my purse in an over sized tote with me because I have my nephew with me(I home school him) and we have books galore in it.. So over all my tote is a mess.But I can ALWAYS find my make up.LoL.

i would rather buy somethign from someone like this then a big chain store. Chain stores are so informal when you go to someone like this they put a little extra effort into it to make it there own and not mass produce. I have gotten really cute pocketbooks from someone who started their own biz and i get so many compliements.. really so much better then a coach bag that everyone has.. be an individual
