Why I'm obsessed with Marie-Hélène De Taillac
When I first stumbled across Marie-Hélène de Taillac’s creations in my fashion quest, I was very intrigued.

I’m not a skull fan, but I make an exception for Alexander McQueen. Unfortunately he’s been knocked off so many times I’m beginning to feel like his skull motif is loosing its originality. Answer?

The ring features a round chunk of smoky geode with tiny pieces of garnet, hand wrapped onto a brass band with sterling silver wire. The size is great for a … Continue reading “Frugal Snob: Olia Chunk Ring”
Kristen Stewart in Eddie Borgo Cone Ring
I like these Cone Rings ($240) from Eddie Borgo – I really do – but the shape feels a bit over-played. Of course Kristen Stewart is all over it. She’s worn it a few times and it perfectly plays into her gothic-vampire, brooding persona. We’re seeing pyramid studs en masse on everything from handbags to … Continue reading “Kristen Stewart in Eddie Borgo Cone Ring”
