Hello Nasty…

People just keep coming up with absurd things.

Take Polly van der Glas, for instance. She is an Australian silversmith, qualified in 2006 and won the Craft Victoria Fillipo Raphael Fresh! Award upon graduation. For designing jewelry out of…

Human teeth and hair.

Nope, your eyes aren’t playing tricks on you.

I have incriminating (and grossly gross) proof in the form of pictures:

Sterling silver human hair purse

Sterling silver human tooth stud earring

Plaited human hair loop earring

Sterling silver adjustable knuckle duster with three human teeth

Sterling silver human tooth hook earring

Oxidized cast human plait earring

Sterling silver signet human tooth ring

Sterling silver adjustable human tooth necklace

Sterling silver ring with three human teeth

All works are handmade in Melbourne, with sterling silver, human hair and human teeth. Human teeth are locally donated and sterilised, and human hair is either locally donated or sourced from India and China.

Teeth are particularly difficult to come by, so any donations are gratefully accepted.

Gross.

Sunday Morning Call

These J. Crew peep-toe pumps are calling my name. LOL

Lyla printed peep-toes, in papaya, was $250.00  select colors $129.99  item number 15447.
The website wrote:
Our newest love—Lyla, in the season’s prettiest prints, topped with a straw bow.

I usually hate papaya. The sight of it, the smell of it. The taste of it, moreover. But this papaya I won’t mind. ;]

Happy Sunday, everyone!!!

Irresistible!!!

It’s simple.

I love Marchesa’s new collection!!!

Complete and utter lack of things to do have led me browsing the web and I stumble upon the new collection from Marchesa.

Okay, that’s a total lie. I regularly check fabsugar.com. That’s the thing about unlimited internet access. LOL

So anywaaa~y…here are my faves:

this one feels so bridal, eh?

last but definitely not least

So…what d’you think?

Owh, and if you’re as idle as I am, check out the sartorialist. It’s a blog of photos taken candidly (or so I think), of people with vastly different sense of fashion. A lot of the clothes are not my cup of tea, but it’s still interesting to see how people dress up in, say, Milan. Anyway, apparently the blog is very popular.

I Like

What d’you think?

(The sudden interest in kebaya is from the photos of seniors who graduated yesterday. Congrats guys!!!)

Seeing Is Believing

They say that, but do they ever shop online??

My sister recently introduced me to my new fixation: online shopping.

Not that I have done any shopping, so it’s technically just online window-shopping.

Gosh, I love technology.

But even though this one here is cute…

…right?

But do I really want to spend IDR460.000 (yep, that’s the price for that one) for that really really…really cute dress? I’ve seen it, and I believe it’s great, but will it look great on me? Not so sure.

When it comes to shopping, I believe in an old-fashioned thing called “trying it on”. I (almost) never shop in a place that doesn’t have a fitting room. An item of clothing might just be your size precisely, but it doesn’t have to fit nicely.

And it gets even more complicated with shoes (It’s never a good idea to buy shoes for anyone unless it can be exchanged).

But my belief is starting to shake, seeing other cuties like…

(In case you’re wondering, the pictures are from http://sexyangelfashion.multiply.com/photos, but trust me, you don’t want to get started. First it’s innocent browsing, then the next thing you know… XD)

Fashion Origami

Origami just moved up to a brand new level!

Cute, eh? That’s a Fashion Origami Set. Comes with 120 sheets of colored paper with a full-color 28 page instruction book on how to make shoes, shirts, underwear, dresses, you name it!

Get it for $12.00 at Blue Ribbon General Store.

It says that it’s a perfect gift for your fashionista friend, or aspiring artist. *hint hint* =p

Liking This

Aren’t they cute?

Some might say they’re odd, but I prefer “unique”.

They’re Oxford heels.

It’s a woman’s version of men’s shoes. First it’s trousers, then vests, oversized-shirts… Women are using their privilege of wearing pretty much anything they want. Only heaven knows what will happen should a man (normal man, not transvestite or the likt) step out of his house in women’s clothing, but women wearing men’s clothes? We even have a term for it: androgyny.

I can really walk tall in these. =)

The magenta Oxford heel above looks strong enough to be driven into someone’s skull. *evil laugh*

(I’m thinking of Jessica Sanders, from Heroes, in her elevator scene… Cool, intimidating, and really cold-blooded.)

…

So…Oxford heels…yay or nay?

Fall 2009 Shows

Just several things I seen and heart from the 2009 fall shows.

Let’s start with BCBG Max Azria:

I (heart)! A belt on the waist will be nice, though

Derek Lam!

Lurve this!

Alice + Olivia…

Doo Ri:

Lorick!!! =)

Then there’s Vera Wang

And I can’t help but really heart this look I found on Vera Wang’s website:

And a lacey, adoring dress from Monique Lhuillier. Me likey likey… =)

So…which one(s) do you like best?

Headband, Anyone?

I’ve always have a thing for headbands, and Gossip Girl’s Blair Waldorf has made headbands even more alluring than ever.

One of the designers that made her famous headbands is Jennifer Behr.

See the pink orchid on skinny headband that Blair wore to Lilly’s wedding?

It was one of Jennifer Behr’s collection, shown below in neon, and it costs $225 an orchid. Quite a fortune for a headband, huh…
Plus, not every gal can pull off wearing a giant plastic orchid on her head. Unless that gal is Blair Waldorf, of course.

Blair also wore the headwrap below, a double rosette headwrap in royal purple. This one here costs $152.

I heart this victorian crystal and silk satin headwrap in cream. Of course, it costs $182, but I heart it anyway.

This is a really plain headband, and while anyone can try convincing me to wear anything fluorescent (the shocking pink headband below is fluoro skinny headband, for $58), it’s not going to happen. EVER.

OOOH oooh oooh… Me likey… =)
Petite crystal knot in antique crystal, $188. Not really practical to wear, but still…

So…black widow? =)
Voilette headband in black, $165. Me likey…

This last one is my favorite:

It’s a pale amethyst crystal and satin headwrap, $228.
