Honey Magazine interview the one and only Ms. Annie Basulto regarding her passion for the business, her drive to succeed, and what it feels like to know you make some of the hottest pieces in the women's accessory game.

I really love accessories. I don’t really know where it came from. My parents are big collectors of stuff so I was always used to going to flea markets and looking at things. It was always fun to look through stuff and find that thing you like in the bottom of a barrel. One of my favorite things to do was, from junior high school on I would go to Wet Seal and go crazy in their accessories section. I would buy sh*t that I’d never wear. I really had an obsession. Plus, jewelry is fun. It’s open. You don’t have to worry about seasons, going out of style and all that annoying talk.

For anyone that wants to pursue a passion, do whatever makes you happy. I wasn’t happy, and if you’re not happy in one place it’s going to trickle down to everything else in your life. Make a change, and if you really want to do something different then work on it, figure it out and just try to do it. Owning your own business is going to be the thing of the future. If you can make money off of it then study it and figure it out because in the end, it will be a great payoff.

Well said, Annie!

Don't sleep - a two year anniversary only happens once! :D

Annie's been offering some bomb deals to celebrate Cubannie Link's 2yr Anniversary, but the cherry on the sundae happens next Saturday, Aug. 15th!




Not only can you cop some of those bright and shiny accessories featured in the Fiends Photoshoot, and meet the Fiends themselves, but you get to eat drink and be merry with the creator and driving force behind Cubannie Links - Annie Basulto herself!

It's all going down at our store - 4211 N. Scottsdale Rd from 6-9pm so come grab a plate, grab a cup, and maybe even snatch up a few new pieces. (If you keep your fingers crossed, you might even walk out with some free stuff as well - but more on that later ;) )

"..Deitrich and DiMaggio Marlon Brando, Jimmy Dean On the cover of a magazine.."

Ohhh that's totally going to be stuck in your head for the rest of the day!

The Fresh Fiends just dropped their latest foto-graphic adventure. Inspired by a classic Vogue Cover, and shot by Photographer Evan Taylor Gunville the Fiends updated the original and created a multi-ethnic "Hoody Trinity" (classic!). Each of the ladies is wearing their own accessories kit comprised of the latest looks from Annie Basulto over at Cubannie Links.

Click here to see the rest of the shoot, and get a closer look at those baubles.

We've been carrying Cubannie Links in our store since Day 1, and it's nice to see the rest of the world waking up to creator/designer Annie Basulto's genius.
