I am back and I am here to stay!!!

You know that saying that there is a light at the end of every dark tunnel? Well finally the light is starting to shine at the end of mine. Over the last two years many things in my life have changed. Some have been heartbreaking and now when I look back I see that I have become a stronger more confident person because of that heartbreak. I think you can either look at things and think I can't believe that has happened to ME! Or you can look at it and think ok so that happened and I feel sad/happy/relieved/blue etc. but now what? Will I sit here and think well what's the point or will I look at it and think I am strong enough to go through this and come out the other side with a new look at life! And I am happy to say that I am the latter of those two.

In this last year you have not seen a lot of LoveLeighs coming out because I have lost several family members which had me turn my life completely around. I am now fitter, stronger and healthier. I have a new outlook on life. I actually feel FEARLESS for the first time in my life!! Funny how I took the things that broke my heart and turned them around to become more positive about life!

So where is this going, well life is so short that I have decided to live my life doing the things I love and I love to create beautiful things. Did you know that I have NO experience, I have NOT studied, this is just me working it out. Yes I do have an eye for textures and colours, and there is nothing I make for you that I would not wear myself! If it is NOT good enough for me then it will NEVER be good enough for you :) Everything that comes out of this studio is straight from my mind to you. Made by me, from the beading to most of the flowers. They are original and unique and very special to me! 

While I was away I received many messages from so many customers and other business ladies asking where I had been and that you all missed seeing LoveLeighs pop up in your Facebook newsfeed. Well I promise to LoveLeigh up those newsfeeds as much as I can from here on in.

I can't thank you all enough for supporting LoveLeigh Designs. I feel very lucky :)

Hello LoveLeighs


It's been a while I know but I have been so busy trying to fill your LoveLeigh needs :D


There are going to be a few changes to LLD and I think they will only make you fab ladies (and gents) happy little vegemites!! Firstly I will be limiting custom orders. I can not create all the wonderful things that you would like if I am swamped with custom orders....BUT.....here's how this will work in your favour. Up until now I have only made One of a Kind necklaces but this will be more limited. You see I have listened and I have heard you.....you LOVE so many of the necklaces I have created that it seems a little unfair to only make ONE of something so LoveLeigh ;) This does not mean their won't be anymore One of a Kinds though....there will.

Introducing the 'Black Label Collection' these necklaces will be One of a Kinds and so much more special than before. They will be a little more expensive than the others but you can be sure that you will NEVER see another like it!!! Custom Orders will also fall under the Black Label category. There will be a higher charge for Custom Orders as these are made especially for you and with sourcing supplies and coming up with the design I am sure you can appreciate the time involved :)

When I make a LoveLeigh Necklace I will make several, this will give you all a chance to claim your own piece of something LoveLeigh. These will all be made with as much LOVE as the Black Label Collection but there will be more of them and more readily available. Under this label I will also make the odd cuff, bracelet and earrings as well as hair accessories.

Not to forget Little LoveLeighs. I will also make several of the same necklace for all your LoveLeighs but occasionally will add the One of a Kinds.

So when will all this take place??? Well at this stage I am working with my web designer on my website (yes it has been a VERY long time coming) and we are hoping to launch the website at the end of March/ start of April. These changes will then come into place. For those that already have Custom Orders with me these changes do not apply to you.

I LOVE my little job and I am MORE than happy to spread the LOVE to you and this is why I am doing this.....I promise you that you will not be disappointed with all the NEW changes.

One last thing.....before the website is launched and the new range is available I will have another necklace release on FB as well as random sale nights!!!

LoveLeigh Necklaces, Glam Box, LoveLeigh Springtime Affair and more....

Hi there LoveLeighs :)

Well there are so many things going on here behind the scenes!! For example I have organised for two photoshoots for October, one which will be a LoveLeigh Springtime Affair.....where there will be some LoveLeigh pieces for your hair and body for the races, weddings and special occassions that often occur around the end of the year.



The second is for the Glam Box. I know I said this will be opening very soon but I have decided to wait until the end of October beginning of November. This Glam Box will be filled with all sorts of LoveLeighs that you can wear to Christmas parties, NYE parties or any fab time that you may be having during the silly season :)



The LoveLeigh Goodies Nights (and there have only been two) seem to be appealing so from time to time I will do these. I will also have LoveLeigh Necklace releases as these seem to be VERY popular and I LOVE to make them. I do LOVE to do custom orders but I have only limited spaces....I will announce these from time to time so if you see I have space and you desperately want or need something jump in quick because these fill so fast!!! Behind the scenes my very talented brother is working very hard on building a super fab website, a new logo and my photoshoots!! I will keep you informed of when the website will be ready to go :)

Lastly.....I have made the decision to pull out of The Collective Store and the Artisan Boutique. I want to thank Leonie (TCS) and Kylie (AB) for their constant support of LoveLeigh Designs and I will always support and promote this most FANTASTIC stores!!!!

Love Leigh xx

PS I will be at The Mummy Tree Market in Brisbane on the 25th Sept and the Belle Bazaar Market on 8th Oct. I will have lots of LoveLeigh necklaces as well as other special things at both these markets so if you can come along I would LOVE to meet you ♥♥



Sista's......why can't we just rise above???

Hello LoveLeighs

When I woke up this morning I thought I am going to Blog!! So I did, but this is not what I originally wrote. You see I wrote a little piece on the sadness and disappointment I feel about the women on FB and the nastiness that continues between grown-ups. But after a long-winded piece I decided to delete, because, let's face it I know you are all as fed up as I am with the in-fighting and nit-picking.

Then this afternoon I read a link from Build a Little Biz about death threats to an amazing female blogger!!! You can read the blog here http://ittybiz.com/death-threats-online/ and I was MORE than shocked I was sad!!! Ok so obviously there will always be 'people' who will try and bring you down, especially if they see you as a threat. Mostly these 'people' are insecure and unsure of who they really are and feel the need to be nasty as a way to compensate for their own inadequacies. But death threats is just plain crazy. I mean do these people really want to kill this woman because she is so successful?? And then live the rest of their life in jail??  It seems to me that there IS a LOT more nasty behaviour because you can sit in the comfort of your own home and blurt out whatever you like with little or no consequence to you. But you are an influence on others. You are RESPONSIBLE for what you say and HOW you say it!!

This is the second time I have heard of death threats to a woman who is successful by another who for whatever reason feels they need to dish it out on them.

Bully's don't win when we stand united against them!!! NEVER be afraid!!! After all we all have a SPAM box in our email accounts and a DELETE button and the police are only a phone call away!!!

Oh and one other thing....as a customer and a small business owner it may be best to RISE ABOVE the small, nasty behaviour of others and not engage in it. I have seen SO many pages losing good business and regular customers because they are slugging it out on their page.....and to be honest it is getting a little old. Most of us have kids and have to deal with their petty arguments everyday and then to get on FB and see 'grown' women slagging each other off is more than a little embarrassing.

'Nuff said!! (hopping down off my soapbox now hehehehe)
