Currently listening to: “I Think I’m Pregnant” by Soko
I’m so glad that designers are starting to inject a bit of humour back into their collections. Make no mistake: I definitely treat fashion in a business-like manner, but it’s refreshing to see that designers aren’t taking themselves too seriously. This comedic effect has been particularly evident in the details. I admit it: I’m really in love with the plethora of cartoon acessories that have popped up on the runways. From YSL’s mirrored Perspex star accessories, to Philip Lim’s long circle necklaces, I’ve been watching these statement pieces like a hawk. Of course, I don’t have the financial means to buy a bazillion dollar necklace and thus I must look for alternatives. I found these two necklaces on etsy.com that will satisfy my “caricature jewellery” desires quite nicely. I’ve already worn the yellow knit chain once, which resulted in 3 random people coming up to touch it…. Creeps! But at least someone besides me is appreciating my new jewellery acquisitions… and it certainly makes for hilarious stories.
