Jilly's making tampons

This photo fails to do justice to the magnificence of an opaque black tampon fashioned from resin. My unbelievably talented friend Jill has taken to making casts of everything you could possibly imagine, eg. tampons, keys, the good ol' ciggi lighter, ciggi butts, caramello koalas.... the list just goes on and on!
I was lucky enough to aquire one of her first amazing creations, the "cat key" and (of course) a tampon for a girlfriend who gave me some rad rad jeans a while back.
Jill isnt too far off from getting her resin online. I'll keep ya posted;)

Ruby Rose

I have always loved costume jewelry, especially novelty stuff that you know was either ridiculously expensive or super cheap. Two of my recent purchases was a leopard ring and necklace. So tacky and cool at the same time!

Maybe one day I can get the super expensive 24carat gold ruby eyed leopard ;)

MiMCO

It isn't always easy to highlight accessories in a photoshoot - clothing usually always drags my eye first, then to the models face, perhaps the setting and lastly the bag, scarf or belt, which is usually hard to see - obscured by half a body.
Trawling the internet today, I stumbled upon MiMCO's new campaign. It captures the product beautifully, making every piece so desireable that I will have to tape my credit card statement to my head to stop me from going buying up half their store. Divine!

Bing Bang baby!

While I am on a mad jewelry tangent (- did you notice I finally learnt how to spell 'jewelry'?) I thought I would post about my latest 'lust after', Bing Bang.
Born in Mexico, Bing Bang's designer, Anna Shefield, draws from the stark environs of her homeland to create a simple, dark and masculine aesthetic with her jewelry and accessories line. Worn by celebs such as Cameron Diaz, Jess Alba and super model Giselle, Bing bang is fast becoming one of the most desirable jewelry offerings around. I am in Love with the whole range, especially the chunky, hard worn bracelets, and pyramid stud earrings.

Highway Child

Highway Child is a "rock & romantic" jewelry line inspired by a love of music, nature, and vintage. Evoking a spirit of the past, the hand-made line, reflects "the designer's passion born from a love of the free-spirited life."

Using vintage crystals, rose quartz, rock crystal, glass beads, vintage pieces, wood, bronze, and sterling silver, Highway Child pieces have been featured in NYC designer Jill Stuart's Fall 2005 runway show, Lucky, and Dazed and Confused magazines.

Deadly Ponies

Deadly Ponies. NZ designers of epic bags and jewellry - I LOVE!

Marie Seguy

Marie Seguy designs amazing jewellry that I have been lusting after the past hour and a half. The thing that hooked me even more than her jewellry was the fricken awesome images on her website. Psychadelic, twisted and beautiful, I am in LOVE with them!
She designs her line on a mannequin, and uses various materials, pearls, gold, chunky pyramid studs and fine chains.
She launched in 2004, and to this date has 9 collections under her belt. #1 on my wish list.

I want, want, want THIS!

Flanno and Feathers

I was never the type of girl who could get amped about "flano" pajamas. I always said flannelette was for people who dont get any action (if ya know what I mean). But now with the whole Kurt Cobain, 90's grunge Flano revolution I have been awakened to the unbelieveable comfort that anything made out of this fabrication can bring. Lazy comfort dressing is now somewhat accepted. Sounds good to me!

The leather and feather belt is sadly not owned by me, but by this chick Georgia who I work with. Pretty insane $3 purchase from an Op Shop. I love the buckle detail and the feather insert. So gorgeous and quite unique.

Flano: Quiksilver Mens
Body Suit: Target
Singlet Quiksilver Womens
Jeans: Grab Denim
Shoes: Converse
Hat: OS sample

Belt: Thrifted

Pretty as a Peacock

The fashion world is being invaded with Peacock feathers in all of their glory at the moment. It got me thinking about this clutch my mum had when I was younger. Its handmade and leather with glued down peacock feathers. I begged her for it, unfortunately however, she is determined to keep it. I am on a mission to make one - I will keep you posted - I dont think it will be too hard? Maybe?
