Object Of Desire: Tassel Necklace

_PUC0139.450x675 tassel_necklace2 349807_in_xlThe necklace of the season is in: good old 70′s style tassel necklace. And it emerged from Hedi Slimane’s Saint Laurent debut, the spring summer 2013 collection. Yes the same Hedi Slimane, and the same SLP we bashed and trashed – and appearently the same collection which according to WWD, is selling great.

Can be worn alone or with a choker (or with multiple chains, as you wish); the best part of a tassel necklace is the ability to be worn as a back necklace. Generally preferred in pearl, I think an edgy gold tassel necklace (if it’s thin and long enough) can be worn with a slinky dress with the deepest back cleavage and it will look breathtaking.

Hand & Feet Flirtin’

I can’t tell you how grateful I am to Nicolas Ghesquiere for bringing that “5 gold rings for each finger trend” into the spotlight; because to tell the truth – I was never an armparty person. It took me sooooo long to put all those bracelets and bangles and most of the time I left home with only 1-2 pieces, almost freaked out. And to top it all I always needed someone around me to close those freakish clasps. To sum up, I hated it! I actually always cheated and put on my multiple rings instead of any other jewelry.

I’m not going to be modest about it, I love my hands – I think they are really really beautiful, and I want to flaunt them as much as I can. Speaking of which, I kinda fancy my feet too – so I’m thinking about bringing this gold ring frenzy to my toes as well. I know it’s early but I can do some hand & feet flirtin at home to my boyfriend, right? (Click through to see my favorite picks of the season!)

Maniamania Performance Collection

maniamania1maniamania14maniamania3It’s that time of the year! Maniamania has finalllyy launched their new collection: Performance. After working with Dree Hemingway for two years, the iconic Australian jewelry house chose quirky model and musican Jamie Bochert to front the campaign of the collection this time; which gets its inspiration from the underground scene of Laurel Canyon and San Francisco in the 1960s and 70s, activist and model Uschi Obermaier, as well as fashion’s favourite musical vanguard of Keith Richards, Mick Jagger and Jimi Hendrix. (No wonder they wanted Jamie to model, right?)

Brass, silver, clear quartz, smokey quartz and amazonite are the most recurrent materials used this season, with mysterious and whimsical shapes that have already became a trademark of Maniamania. To see their previous collections click here and here. (The Modern Utopian collection is still my favourite by far, I still haven’t encountered a jewelry collection that gives me goose bumps like it does. It has been imitated hundreds of times, yet there is nothing quite comperable to the original ones. Just amazing.)
