First and foremost, I would like to apologise for the laziness of my posting...i am sorry and do realise that it has now been something like 6 weeks since I wrote anything, not to make excuses but I've undergone a writers block for the last month or so, but I’m over it now and so regular posting back to normal !
Moving on...I am kind of bored of all the hype around Alice in wonderland, don't get me wrong I think Tim Burton is genius and I thoroughly look forward to going to see it this Saturday but I'm talking about the fashion statements that come out of it. Being mainly a black wearing girl I'm starting to feel a little queasy about all of the tea cups and bows consuming me as I walk into (nearly) every retail store. Uni-clo are the official sponsors and although I have to give it to the brand for practical clothing and staple basic essentials, I think they should steer away from the patterned and decorative stuff because it look a little cheap and not cheerful. However... I have taken a serious liking/desire towards the collection that Irish born bad boy of the jewellery world Tom Binns has put together in honour of the film.
Binns became a household name when Michelle Obama wore one of his designs to a Whitehouse gala event in 2009 and he has taken off with more than a boom since then. Binns first played around with Disney in a protest against the Iraq war making his statement by using a collection named "Amo" in which he paired Donald Duck, Minnie and Mickey Mouse with bombs and grenades as I'm sure your thinking much to Disney's displeasure, so what was Binns doing in Disneyland? Well creating a fabulous yet small collection of Walt Disney signature jewellery and a rather more extensive collection for Disney Couture sold online at http://www.asos.com/.
I am lusting over the Pearl and Lace necklace in his signature collection but at £750...I'm thinking it's a bit of a stretch although I simply cant stop picturing it making an amazing collar to any basic..ahhhh. The collection is also a little bit of a stretch from Binns' usual design's but that’s what ya gotta love, holding on to see what comes out of his brain next!
On the Subject of jewellery I am awaiting a certain silver skull ring with Ruby Eyes from the one and only stupendous Stephen Webster from a certain someone...kind of a platonic wedding ring but I will have to get onto that relationship another time....
