New Spring pairings with new friends Mushmina!

Part of my job here at AC is working our twice yearly trade shows. We set up camp for anywhere from 3-5 days and sell our wares to savvy boutique owners. One of my favorite things about participating in these shows is meeting other vendors. You can admire each others lines, get drinks post show, complain or rejoice about sales and hopefully walk away with a new buddy to chat with the next time you find yourself inside the Jacob Javits center (or The Piers, or Mad Max's Thunderdome etc) for 9 hours at a time. This year at NYIGF we were lucky to be right next to Katie and Heather O'Neill, the founders and designers for Mushmina! We discovered that we had also been neighborly in December during The Grand Central Holiday Market. It was great fun getting to know these friendly, adorable and stylish gals and I LOVED their line. They do fair trade accessories out of Morocco and have a very similar ethos as AC! Check out their entire line and story here: www.mushmina.com. I ended up getting myself a bunch of goodies from their booth at show's end as I really think AC and Mushmina complement each other perfectly! Check out some dreamy spring pairings below.

The Penelope Clutch is to die for and handmade with lush Moroccan fabrics, custom artisan wood handle, hand stitched leather finishing and an inside pocket. LOVE!

That Penelope Clutch is just asking to be carried around while wearing our brand new Del Sol hat. The perfect combo for strolling in the park this spring!

Oh my! These little Casablanca Clutches are my absolute fave! Made with Jacquard fabric and a leather handle, these cute bags are perfect for day and night.

You know what's also perfect for day into night fashion? Our classic and beautiful Cascade Necklace in Perwinkle. It goes with everything!

These hand made hammered Sahara Bracelets are so chic. Perfect to stack and layer with AC's many different Tagua Bracelets!

I'd choose a cool neutral like our Riverbed Bracelet in Quarry.

I'm in scarf heaven! The Handloomed Marrakech Collection features well...handloomed linen scarves made by artisans in Marrakech! The ideal accessory for jeans or your favorite maxi dress.

Throw on a sexy Madera Ring to add a little fun elegance to complete the casual look.
