Da da da DAA!

We are soo happy to announce that we are now beginning to sell Academy J products in a few select stores here in Utah. Academy J merch is now available at Liberation Clothing located at 7918 south 1300 east in Sandy UT. They also sell grrreat jeans and tops, as well as merchandise from other locals (kind of like us!).

And, for those of you in the Utah county area, Academy J products will be available at the new Blue Hazel boutique located right next to 4-chairs furniture in Lindon, UT at 150 south State street. This is a brand new store that is opening May 1st of this year and will feature local artists as well as some designers from out of state. We also are creating a new baby/children line we'll be selling here.. Academy Kids...

We can't wait!

Photos Please!

Our headbands are cool, but our blog is lame. We kind of maybe want to spice it up a bit. Maybe you could send us a picture of you wearing your one of your AJ headbands? Maybe? Please? If you do, maybe we could, with your permission, post it on our blog to show everyone else how great it looks on you?

Bring out the holly

We have some great new Academy J stuff in the works.  We hoped to have it online before Christmas, but due to finals, Christmas, and the fact that one of us is getting married (!)... we may have to postpone it until after the holidays.  

Fortunately, however, if you are in the area, we will be selling our products (including some of our new stuff) at the My Girlfriend's Closet Boutique in Bountiful this weekend.  You can shop Friday and Saturday (December 11 and 12) between 11 am and 8 pm at 2200 south Orchard Drive.  This boutique may or may not be a great place to find some great Christmas gifts, just sayin'.

We also just may have some unique, never-before-seen products of our own making their first appearance this Saturday.

AJ Giveaways



So we're a little new to the blogging world. We have a long way to go with it, but we are learning a lot about how everything works and are having a blast with it. We have even been featured a few different places... Check them out here and here. Both of these sites are doing giveaways of Academy J merchandise - how great is that?

It's almost here....


Academy J has some big news (well for us at least) ... academyj.com is officially in the works. We've said it before, but this time it is really happening. Our goal is to have the website up and running by the end of next week so be sure to check it out.


(So it turns out creating a website isn't the easiest thing in the world. This is me (Jessica) sitting in one of my design classes working on the website instead of a class project).
