You go Girl! I’m luvin it!

Cute shit. I like how the page was put together too. Her prices aren’t that bad either.

Cute stuff, though I’ll stick to the web version of CL.

I guess it will catch on. You just have to wait and see.

RI RI and AK always have on cute accessories…..good to know, but can we regulars afford that shit?

tupac rosary , DAMN. Dohanue has finally found a new enemy. LOLOLOLOL

I just looked at that shit and ain’t nobody wearing no damn bullets in their ears….sorry, I don’t care who is wearing that shit…Im jus’ sayin’

I am sooooooooo sick of Rhianna!

those are cute. hi ddssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Cute stuff..with the exception of that Tupac rosary..now thats just wrong…
The prices ain’t TOO bad either….

Some items are cute/ tupac Rosary borderline blasphemy and not the message i wsh to convey in my style so they can keep that one. Rope chains and the whole Back to the 80s is trendy but passe to me. Give me classics i can rock in and out of season no matter what everybody else is doing. Fly is trendsetting/not following.

I’m not impressed HOWEVER it is affordable!

Ewilllllllllllll hey…..I miss yall.

I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I love to see strong women doing their thing but umm…I don’t see anything special about this jewelry. I could find 100% better looking accessories for 50% of the price of these. Again, I’m sorry, just my opinion. I was more interested in Rihanna’s shirt.

I agree with 14.

I also agree with #14, My attention immediately went to Rhianna’s shirt. It looks like that cheap jewelry that you can buy from Maxie or a chinese store.

MORE POWER TO THIS WOMAN DOING HER THING, BUT THIS JEWELRY IS NOT OF MY TASTE, IT LOOK LIKE IT WOULD TURN GREEN ON ME.. ONE OF THOSE EARRINGS LOOK LIKE A BICYCLE TIRE AIR PUMP. I HAVE TO HAND IT TO HER SHE IS CREATIVE.

WHAT A CUTE NAME!

Oh I like the accessories…they are very creative.

305. do the damn thing.

I thought it was the shirt also because Alicia and Rihanna shirt are the same color. The jewerly is ok.

The jewelry is whack, but I love Rihanna’s shirt, she looks adorable and I hate the way Alicia looks in that photo (she looks ugly and washed out). I won’t be buying the jewelry.

Cute..I need to check out the Website!!

Rhianna could put actual dookey on a rope and some nut in here would defend it….STANS.

This is not to diss, but admiring someone should not mean worshiping them as if they were some sort of diety. I mean, her armpits still stink in the morning and her breath still gets funky after onions just like the rest of us. She’s cute but she is not the end all be all of fashion nor skill. She’s just a person. DAG!!!!
I know people do that to other stars (Beyonce/Ciara/etc….) but give it a rest already. She’s gonna get a hunchback from y’all riding her so hard. LOL Yeah, I took it back to RIDING.

I like some of this jewelry, but the jury is still out on the shoot em’ up bang, bang pieces, lol! I’m not keen on the idea of flossing caps, bullets, and guns in my ears or around my neck. I know it’s just fashion but still…

Okay so now that I have cheked out the website..the only thing that I like is the Double hoop earrings…..She going str8 to hell for putting guns on rosary beads!!!!!

BIG UPs to anyone doing there thing out there now. Her line seems nice and the stars are obviously lovin it.

those bracelets are replicas of the Cc Skye bracelets that were so popular over the last couple of years… I almost believe Rihanna is wearing the smaller Cc Skye bracelet, myself. lol And, the gun necklace…the rosary…it’s all been done soo much. I don’t think it’s enough to just rehash striking pieces. The braided thing has been THE STYLE of late, but I’m more interested in the necklace she’s wearing in the pic than the rosary or bracelets. Alicia looks nice in the earrings, though… Her stuff seems to compliment you…I would buy the gold earrings maybe…

wack!! sorry and sad but true…

WTF….yeah…the designs are creative alright, a creative vision of ghettoness. I’m surprised Kiesha doesn’t rock this..she’ll catch on she loves to jack other people’s styles.

The little guns Ms. Lady are you serious?

Yo, these are so cute! I love unique accessories! Keep doing your thing girl!

p.s. Cubannie is a cute name ;o)

These accessories are really cute! Especially the Metallic Bracelets.

Go ahead girl do your thing, you are about to blow up

This isht looks street vendorISH…….Just my 2 cent$

im not impressedl yes it is affordable but its trash, they have cuter things at forever21 that can turn ur skin just as green

As a jewelry designer myself, I know when to give kudos on a job well done (and thats a very hard thing to do for some designers). For this occasion, I can’t. It’s creative, I’ll give the designer that but it’s not enough to convince anyone to wear them as a personal style choice and not because it’s “hot” and “trendy” since the stars are catching on. The only reasons I could think of why people would her jewelry is because of the prices and because they want to be the only ones wearing something unique. Also, “unique” is NOT rare in the jewelry world so don’t get excited too quickly. Hey, this is just an opinion of a regular reader of the blog but to each its own.

My girl Annie! Keep on doing your thing + read her interview on www.notoriouslyaddictive.com

Congrats to her for starting her accessory collection. I always like to see people make their business ventures become a reality.

I’m only being honest and not mean. I checked out the website, and I really was not all that impressed, it was ehhh to me.
It wasn’t bad and it wasn’t great…but I will say it lacked creativity.
I also make jewelery, and I work hard as hell to make my jewelery stand out. I make sure that every piece is unique, and that every piece has my own personal signature style.
Her style is copied from things I have seen time and time again.
Some may say that I’m light weight hating, but I’m just looking at her jewelery from my jewelery designing eye thats all.

100% AGREE WITH #36!

ohh this stuff is so cute! i wan’t some pieces

Ummmm………. No.

@ NeshaNesha, I do the same thing as well. I try to make pieces that defines my style. I mean sure, the idea of what we make isn’t new but it is our own individual twist, along with what materials we use, that make our pieces unique. And I have to agree with you, the jewelry does lack creativity and her designs have been done to death. I feel if you are going to use an idea, at least give your spin to it not a copied one. Make it stand out on it’s own and have people wanting to buy it because it fits their personal style and not because they wanna be the only ones seen wearing it. That, I have to say, is the biggest insult to jewelry designer who didn’t make these pieces for that reason. And I have to admit, it’s hard being creative with jewelry at first but it becomes easier when you have mastered it.

WTF!!!! SOME OF THIS SHIT LOOKS DEMONIC…I’LL PASS…

Hmmm…not impressed.

its aight!! um maybe i need to see some other things

tupac rosary? wtf?

that picture of a keys looks strange to me for some reason…anyway, these pieces are kinda weak to me. I am sure it takes a lot to make them but they look like home ec/pottery class type stuff. I dunno…I can appreciate the woman getting her hustle on though.

Did someone actually give this chick permission to use Tupac’s name …cause she is CrAzY to replace the Cross on a Rosary with of all things a gun…I open the site to purchase some stuff and then i seen the ” Rosary ” and there is NO WAY i am supporting that…

I’m tired of seeing Rihanna!

Kudos to Concrete Loop for helping new business owners get there products noticed.

You don’t have to moderate my message, Angel. I see you took off the offensive post I was responding to.

R. Kells is in the clink!

I design jewelry as a hobby and I find nothing special about these pieces. No hate at all, just the truth.When I see good ish I have no problem giving props. Heck, I have seen better jewelry in the Beauty Supply store of $1.00.

Like someone said I prefer classic looks to these silly trends.

It’s cool, I’ll get that for my girl…if i had one of course. lol

How dare the equate Tupac only with a gun? And to think we would support this mess she calls jewelry. This is not even original looking stuff anyway. Maybe the Pitbull -loving crowd will buy it.

Okay. I am a huge Pac fan but a Tupac rosary? And then she had the nerve to put a gun on it? WTH is wrrong with this chick? There’s nothing special about her jewelry anyway. It’s not even close to being cute.

On a brighter note, I love that shirt Rih is rocking. I wish I can wear shirts like that.

cute stuff!

I luv the accessories they’re so cute and creative!

I’m just curious how much did they pay you for the advertisement and whether this should be clearly labeled as what it is: “Advertisement”

@ 58. She didn’t pay for this feature. We feature singers/designers/etc that we like and admire for their hustle and talent. The only ad spots on CL are at the top, bottom, and side. It was titled a spotlight right? And that’s exactly what it is. So don’t get it twisted! You need to quit trying to be smart, because you end up looking real dumb.

Do your thing Annie.

Just checked out the website and I think the jewlery is WACK. I wish her much success but I won’t b purchasing any.

A -you keep doin your thing!! So proud of you!! I know its not easy and you got great support from all your friends and family!! cant wait to see whats comin for next year!!!

That shit’s a hit or miss. Not feeling the names of some of the jewelry nor am I feeling the design. Bullet earrings? You can miss me with that.

I own 3 pair of Cubannie Links earrings and they are the BOMB!!! Very well made.. I can’t believe all these people have the time to sit around and talk shit about this creative woman doing her thing! What are you doing with yourself? Sitting around dissin people on the internet? And the jewelry designers? Hating on a fellow designer? I am a tshirt designer and even when I think other people’s designs aren’t so great I will STILL give them props for getting out there and actually DOING it! People need to calm down and give props where due. I can’t wait to buy my next pair of earrings!!!
MUCH LOVE TO CUBANNIE LINKS!!!

**** I agree with # 63’s comments ! ! ! ****

Annie, your jewelry is creative, fun and trendy. Keep your production rolling.
~ Bang-Bang !

Cubannie Links is on her grind every day and every night. you have people hating, wishing they was in her position, questioning her creativity and on top of that you have other jewelry designers hating as well because nobody is rocking their shit. this is what it is right here, let me separate the dumb ones from the dummies. take a stroll down as you read to see if you find your name.
Daphneyvette you said ‘ain’t nobody wearing bullet in their ears, bitch they already are. Phillyfashionista, chocolatekisses, foxy380, lola falana, niecy, anole, jersey bred323, you told harpo to beat me, cee, gingerbread 21, foxxx, capcity chick, beauty q.t, all of y’all are just hating because you didn’t come up with a idea of your own. see you love to hate when you see someone doing good instead of just giving them the compliment they deserve so as people say when you hate on someone that means that they actually doing good, good enough for you assholes to say anything about it. Next.
willpwr for you to be a guy you sound fruity homeboy with that comment, go check your status. rubygirl just get a life, it’s that simple for you. lori you said ‘ummmm…..no’, well ummmm….yes asshole, she’s doing it. jscene you look like you been passing all your life. tizzy-t, noone is impressed with you either. rachel, she doesn’t need your support now go brush your teeth. last but not least cp and neshanesha. you claim you are designers yourself regardless on if it’s jewelry or clothes, you feel as if you somewhat a part of the game. well guess what, YOU NOT because your shit not being talked about so you decide to hate together against her. her jewelry is actually being rock by a lot of people including your favorite artist. your jewelry is being rock by you so that’s why you hate. WATCH HER, GET A GOOD LOOK, ALL OF YALL HATING BECAUSE HER BANK ACCOUNT IS BIGGER THAN YOUR MOMMA HOUSE. YOU ALREADY SEE WHAT SHE ABOUT, BOI. as far as i’m concern, i will always be on that person side who’s not afraid to take it to the next level. it’s that simple

Happy 18th B-dae chris

I would love to know who your target market is. Do we really need another black or brown person perpetuating a thug lifestyle? If you are a designer be a designer and stop this foolishness. Let a trip to Cannes, France or New Zealand inspire you not ak 47s and 9mms. if you want your line to ascend to greatness you need to know that the world is much bigger than the hood……………get your mind and bussiness right.

P.S. Why do you only have one tank top on your sight?
