2011-11-17T10:58:00.011-05:00

The poll results of the Crux Bridal "Who Wore It Best" contest are in and Kristen of California was our winner! CONGRATULATIONS Kristen!

Checkout what Kristen had to say about her own personal style...

Crux: How would you describe your personal style?

Kristen: I would describe my personal style as elegantly sensual. Ha! You like that! I like wearing some form of sexy without too much revealed. Sexy doesn’t have to be tight or even low neckline or short skirt; it is just what fits your body best. Wearing a bold accessory with a solid color dress, or slim fit jeans and comfy top to me is a nice balance of style. I love color but no more than two bold ones at one time, that’s why it’s great that Crux accessories come in a variety of colors. It allows me to throw on a pair of earrings or necklace and know I don’t have to over style my clothing.

Crux: What is your favorite accessory?

Kristen: My favorite accessory is my CruxNY Orange Casidy earrings. They spice up whatever I’m wearing to go from mediocre to one of the hottest ladies in the room. I get constant compliments whenever I wear them and who doesn’t love to be showered with compliments!

Crux:What was your most favorite item that you wore on your actual wedding day?

Kristen: My favorite item I wore on my wedding day was my dress as that is usually the show stopper. When else are you going to wear that much white! Although my dress was off-white not too look so starchy. My dress was inspired by over the top couture French style lots of ruffles and even some crystals.

Crux: What is your favorite piece from the current Crux Holiday Collection?

Kristen: The ESHE earrings worn by Solange in Beyonce’s “Party” Video are my favorite. They exactly compliment my current style which is chic with a slight conservative edge. They would go with almost all the colors in my closet and could be dressed up or down. Today’s style is all about versatility as we all stay on the go. CruxNY keeps you ready to show up at any type of affair with elegance and slight bit a funk.

So there you have it Kristen keeping it Cruxy Sassy!

We would like to thank all for your participation! And remember, if you know a bride-to-be that wants to keep it Cruxy Sassy, email and place your special request. Crux@cruxny.com http://www.cruxny.com/

We have some exciting news! The new fall issue of Jones magazine just hit stands and we are pleased to share with you that the Somona earrings are featured in one of the magazines fashion/accessories spreads! We are so excited and hope that you can share in our excitement with us as the Crux brand has come a long way and there will only be bigger and better things ahead!

Check out the earrings http://bit.ly/qTAeil

For those that do not know, Jones magazine started off as a regional publication based out of Houston, TX and it was purchased by a larger publishing group and turned into a national magazine that is now based out of New York. The publisher, Tracey Ferguson, had a reality show on Centric, “Keeping up with the Joneses,” chronicling her process of taking the magazine national.

Solange Knowles Rocking Crux

2011-08-04T12:42:00.003-04:00

Oh Happy Day! (In the voice of the young boy from Sister Act lol)

Yesterday was one of those days where you had no choice but to scream!! We were so excited when we heard that Beyonce's stylist loved our holiday/resort collection and wanted to pull some pieces for her latest video shoot "Party." Then the overwhelming excitement came when photos from the video shoot surfaced and Miss Solange, with her funky fresh style that we love, was actually rocking the Eshe Crux earrings!!

Sometimes we all get a bit discouraged when trying to follow our dreams but it is times like this that you get that feeling in your heart that it is all worth it. The late nights up creating new ish, the up all nighters and early mornings for photo shoots, the beat up fingers, the rushing around to meet deadlines, and the investment money....all of it.....it pays off if you love it and you work hard.

We do not claim to be the best, but know one thing, we are both extremely blessed with a God given talent and we both recognize this and appreciate it immensely. Sometimes people ask us "how the hell did you come up with that?" and just like I told my mom last night "I don't know, it just happens." She did not question me because she knows that I have been coming up with crazy ideas since I was a kid getting on her nerves with my "nonsense." Each person has something that they are great at and all you need to do is stay in your lane and go full speed ahead!

As mentioned, the Eshe earrings are from the holiday collection and are not available yet but they are coming soon!

Thank you all so much for your constant love, support and encouragement.

Felicia Khong is a soul that lives and breathes music expressing her passion through the arts. With a mother as a piano teacher and a father as a preacher, Felicia and her three sisters grew up singing together in church. Influenced by Motown, jazz and hip-hop, the sisters formed a girl group called JAZMIN and haven’t stopped since.

Driven by gratitude to the producers, mentors and friends who played crucial roles throughout JAZMIN’s career, Felicia felt compelled by her appreciation to start creating music-inspired paintings as gifts for their homes and studios. Gaining exposure within the music industry, she started a series entitled "For the Love of Music" which captures the songs and individuals that have shaped who she is as an artist. Checkout some of Felicia’s work below.

Felicia and her lovely sisters Nadia, Celia and Daria makeup the group Jazmin.

The Armory Show

2011-03-06T16:49:00.022-05:00

This weekend I attended The Armory Show for the first time and I was truly in awe of some of the pieces of art on display.

This show is America's leading fine art fair playing home to artists, galleries, collectors, and curators from all over the world during this one weekend in March. The show takes over Piers 92-94 in New York and people from all over and all walks of life pass through the space to see the newest wonders of the art world. Check out my pics below of the pieces that caught my eye!

This looked like a bloody body to me but I'm sure that was the idea.

This painting was just sooo fitting :+).

Look at the little ones! Too precious.

From the Zach Feuer Gallery in NY.

Pretty cool, much cleaner than the

subway I ride everyday though.

Hey girl!

Hand embroidered beads on canvas on a board. From Paris.

Loved this!

Getting Cruxy Sassy at the Shooting Range

2010-09-19T15:13:00.004-04:00

New hobby...Angel and Sennie now love the shooting range!

If you have not attempted this activity before it is a must. Angel was hyped up prior to getting to the range but after she heard the first live shot ring out she started to have flashbacks of her younger years and events gone wrong which made her want to immediately shake the spot. Sennie was the more calm one as usual, but there was no time for fear as we were quickly escorted to our training class.

After we had our training it was time to lock, load and shoot! We used a Ruger 10/22 semi-automatic rifle. Blocka Blocka!

Blasting on the competition ha! (No bust seriously kids, guns are not a joke or to be played with)

Angel in the firing lane.

Crème Magazine

Unique accessory brand CruxNY launches new line of products.

Names: Sennie Clark, Ahyiana Deldridge, Kristen Jones

Company: Crux New York (CruxNY)

Founded: 2008

Crème Magazine: What's the mission of CruxNY?

CruxNY: To infuse creative expression into everyday style for all; from the boardroom business woman to the hipster chick.

CM: How did the vision come about to launch CruxNY?

CruxNY: We started off revamping items of clothing for ourselves which turned into making accessories to go with them out of scrap materials, and the response from wearing these items was crazy so one day we just decided to take the business of creating serious. We literally said “let’s do this!”

CM: Who's your target consumer?

CruxNY: Our target is definitely the individual who wants to set themselves apart, and be in the spotlight in any given scene. It is a great feeling when our customers share with us their experience after wearing their CruxNY pieces; they consistently tell us how much overwhelming attention they’ve received.

CM: Your accessories are very unique; what's your process on getting the materials, and making it a final product for people to wear?

CruxNY: As we come across different materials that catch our eye or may be unique, and have different textures we brainstorm and come up with possible designs; from that point we make sample pieces, and decide if we like the final product.

CM: What has been your biggest break thus far?

CruxNY: We are still a growing company, and we're continually learning new things everyday so every opportunity that we have is a blessing for us from compliments from celebrities to features in publications, we appreciate it all.

CM: Are you currently working with any fashion designers, stylists, or celebrities on promoting your products?

CruxNY: Promoting our brand and establishing ourselves in this industry has been an ongoing process. We have relationships with stylists that really like our pieces and some of our items have been used in fashion spreads so we’re just looking forward to releasing this new collection and all of the possibilities that will come with it. We’ve have had a great deal of support from people that are always looking to incorporate the CruxNY brand in fashion related events ,and that has been one of the ways that we have been able to gift celebrities and tastemakers alike.

CM: Do you make any accessory pieces for men?

CruxNY: We currently have eyewear for men but we are working on adding to the men’s collection.

CM: So tell us about the new line of products that you have out now?

CruxNY: The new line is just as funky and fierce as the past collections. We wanted to use some vibrant colors and incorporate certain materials in ways that consumers have not seen before. There is a bit of a mix as we worked in some leather and chunky metallic for a little edge, and for the softer side some flower petals and lace. We definitely like to mix things up a bit.

CM: How can we purchase your accessories?

www.CruxNY.com

CM: What advice would you give a person who wants to go into the accessory business?

CruxNY: Follow your heart. If you have a passion for creating then do it, and don’t let anyone discourage you. There will always be people ready to try and knock you down--have confidence in your work and it will speak for itself.

Willow Smith Shows Her Swagg

2010-09-18T16:09:00.008-04:00

Little Miss Willow Smith came out with her single "Whip My Hair" in a true star's fashion....nothing but buzz! The song is HOT and anyone that says that it does not make them want to dance or groove even just a little bit is simply a lie.

Most people did not have a full grasp on who the tween star was prior to the release of her single and that did not help in understanding her brand and artistry. If we can think back a second, remember her mother Jada Pinkett Smith as Lena James in the 1991 sitcom A Different World, this character was actually based on Pinkett Smith's own style and personality. Her style in the show was funky, eclectic and free and she was still FLY. We all loved her and guess what, her mini me did not steal it. She has a fun little style of her own and you can say what you want but talent is running through Willow Smith's veins.

We respect her swag and the name that she is making for herself because despite all of the talk she is a unique child with a great energy. Check the video below.

Jada and Willow Smith. Too cute!

Jada in her early years.

Rocking the Amber Rose before Amber Rose knew who Amber Rose was.
