gran's loose change is all about supporting, harbouring and selling up-and-coming designers just as much as we are all about vintage. We could hardly contain our excitement when we confirmed 2 Gypsies as part of our Shop New section.
Amy Fraser and Jason Woodside are not only mega babes but they are phenomenal creatives who inspire me daily (you hear that guys? You probably didn't even know it!) Amy is a god with words, (you should definitely check out her writing here and here) and Jason is an artist, check out his work here.
But best of all, they are also the designers and creators of 2 Gypsies. The Firewater Collection, their first, consists of hand made necklaces and rings created from trinkets and treasures. I love how each piece feels like it has it's own story and yet keeps your own secrets once you wear it as well.
Amy and Jason are currently based in New York City (I KNOW! Living the dream right?!) so place your pre-orders NOW! We mostly have just one of each but we do have a few of each of the Shark Fang pieces. Buy now, delivery later. The pieces for gran's loose change are on their way from NYC now, so we promise you won't have to wait too long for delivery. Get in quick because these beauties are sure to sell out! (And let me tell you, if they do, we WILL be ordering more)!

Like everyone else in New Zealand at the mo, I am going crazy over Spanish blogger, stylist and model (amongst other things), Gala Gonzalez.
I've been following her blog Inside Am-lul's Closet for about a year now and she still rocks my socks off. She's adventurous, risky, drop-dead gorgeous, has long flowing luscious locks, eyes to die for and killer style. At 24 she is taking the world by storm having recently stopped over in Aus and little 'ol en zed. She loved us so much here in Kiwiland, she's even coming back from the UK in a couple of weeks for NZ Fashion Week.
My fave part about her? her mission statement: "I'm not gonna tell you what to wear, I'm gonna show you how I wear it."
Check out a few of my fave pics of her below. I'm sure you'll agree, girls want to be her, and boys want to be with her... Move over Gossip Girl, 'GG' has now been claimed by Gala Gonzalez. Ex oh, ex oh.

You lose heaps... those are the wonderful words of wisdom a friend passed on to me after I failed to win the Front Row Diary competition today. To start with, I'll admit, I was a tad sad. I know I would have written the shit out of NZ Fashion Week. I would have immersed myself in the shows and the surroundings and made the most of a wonderful opportunity.
But after about five seconds I realised I have utilised this wonderful opportunity despite coming less than first. I have PR'ed gran's loose change across social media, local papers and websites and international blogs. And that can only mean good things for www.gransloosechange.co.nz.
One million thanks to everyone that voted for me - friends, family, fans and the shout outs from twenty-seven names, d_luxe, whywho, Jay Reeve, Fashion Guru, FashioNZ, Bay of Plenty Times, Sun-Live, LoveTheMount.co.nz, Major Toms, deracs and everyone and anyone else who facebooked, tweeted, messaged, campaigned, text or emailed in support of me and gran's loose change. It means the world to me.
Now, back to business. New product is up for the ladies NOW and we will be shooting new product on Monday. Can I hear a 'hell yeah'?
Thanks BOPTimes! Remember to VOTE today followers (click here), I'm not in the lead but I am eternally grateful for every little click you give me. It would mean the world to me to suddenly jump 1000 votes and be in the lead! Voting closes at 9am tomorrow morning. Thank you so much... xx
Today I feel liberated. I am moving a step towards building and growing and developing gran's loose change into something bigger and better and more sustainable.
For those of you who don't know, I work full time - in a busy, vibrant and creative integrated agency in Mount Maunganui. I have been doing gran's loose change on the side, after hours, in weekends and in my sleep for the past four months. But as of this week, Fridays will be 'gran's loose change' allllll day. That means I can blog more, shop more, write more, photograph more, grow more... are you excited? I am!
So followers, keep an eye out. gran's loose change is about to get better (even though it's like, totally the best already!) Get ready.
Love, me x
