Finger food!!!

YUMMY!

I'm so fascinated by these rings they make my mouth water & not to mention looks pretty dam funky...

Trends and unusual accessories come and go,

but I think this craze will stick around for a while purely because of it's concept and visual craziness. Hands down, this is the most bizarre

accessory craze I have seen in a long time and I want one, or a few, of my own.

The fragile and delicate designs are

very Alice in Wonderland-esque with miniature teapots, sushi, cakes, waffles, ice-creams, sweet-jars and tea

-cups adorning fingers. Some of the designs are quite amazing, like the teapot pouring tea into a mug...would you ever have pictured that as a piece of jewellery?!

Not all accessories last a lifetime so if you do purchase a similar style of ring, then don't shed any tears IF it happens to fall apart..(if the teapot drops off!) as I don't think these rings will be of practical everyday usage. Looks very off-beat and quirky though so maybe wear when you're looking to drop a few jaws in pure & utter amazement?

I found these unique creations on: www.etsy.com & good news, they take international orders....

Japan's beauty...

Despite the horrific earthquake and tsunami to hit Japan, this nation is determined to rise above it's recent devastation. Anyone with access to news coverage were and still are watching and reading about it's atrocious aftermath. I've been hooked on following the story unfold from tweets to survivor's Facebook comments, just goes to show how powerful & instant social media is.

Until now, many of us may not have really taken in the true spirt of Japan. It's positivity and strength is truly inspiring and puts our daily little moans and groans into perspective. I discovered this quirky website recently www.tokyofashion.com. It showcases the very finest and funkiest trendsetters in Tokyo. Pics snapped before the earthquake show a very bold, colourful and INDIVIDUAL sense of style from each random person going about their daily business. For some reason...I don't think they actively read up on fashion trends and follow. This is true style to me, when you can create your own look with no danger at all of walking past someone with the same dress *cringe.*

Blue hair and mis-matched tights below look like they've been inspired from Lady Gaga, or maybe it's Lady Gaga who has been inspired by the average Japanese passer by? I love checking out the website's tweets and pics everyday and checking out which quirky, vibrant trend is hitting the streets...definitely one of the highlight's of my average, boring day.

Indian vintage at it's finest.

DIAMOND 14K GOLD RING 925 SILVER VINTAGE JEWELLERY

£3,499.00

Item location: JAIPUR, RAJASTHAN, India

This is most beautiful, elegant and intricate ring I have EVER seen (so far!) With it's antique look, it still manages to look as valuable and classy as it's price.

It's what many high street shops are replicating, the Royal and vintage theme in its dazzling jewellery.

It looks like it originates or was inspired by the Mughal Era in India..the beauty of the Taj Mahal and the symbolism behind it. Simply... love.

I found this beauty on Ebay...the hub of all things old, new, unusual, funky, retro and weird. Recently I've been hooked on the site, trawling through it's vintage and fashion sections, seeing if I could stumble across and purchase an unusual & unique find. Well I did, but I don't think I'll be purchasing it!

(This is the ring I want to be proposed with...!) *drifts off into a dream*

VERY 60's

A QUIRKY and cute find, yet again vintage inspired. Even the celebs are tapping into this timeless trend; quenching fashion lovers (mine!) thirst for these classic designs. The popular online shopping site (as I'm becoming addicted to recently) www.very.co.uk has launched it's summer collection, with designs from our very own Fearne Cotton. Love her or hate her, this dress is just divine. The Peter Pan collar dress oozes originality and it's simple dip-dye fabric design makes it more appealing...I haven't seen dip-dye clothes since...well, probably the 90's actually! I'd probably co-ordinate some simple, pink earrings or some pearly accessories with this to compliment the pink dye and complete the look..Well worth the £55.

Splashing out oldschool...

So you've saved up your wages (FOR A GOOD FEW MONTHS) & decided it's time to treat yourself? If you really want to splash out then visit Asos for this classy, fabulous and luscious Chanel bag.

This

timeless (expensive) find will never go out of trend and can be teamed with any outfit, day or night, rain or shine. Sure, there are a lot of replica's floating around the high street shops and they look good

on your shoulders too...but if you want the real thing, then this is it. I love it's style, simple yet effective and screams the Chanel trademark image. I just don't love the price... *weeps*
