artifacts by casey

so today i went into work (nylon) for the first time since i'd come back to ny (which really was only six days ago). and in the morning i really didn't have all that much to do so i was flipping through the latest nylon feb 2010 issue (with the vampire diaries stars on the cover) and came across this really cool jewelery designer. it motivates me to start wearing rings again since i stopped after i realized i kept bashing them up with all the art i was doing.

"I like making things that don't follow the traditional notion of what jewelry is supposed to be," says Brooklyn-based designer Casey Perez of her line, Artifacts by Casey. "People think it has to be precious and luxurious, but if my jewelry makes people stop to think for a moment, then I'm happy." (taken from the nylon article - can be found here)

the top two rings made from a plug and a socket in sterling silver are clearly meant to be bought for a couple, and i think it's a pretty innovative and cute idea. the one below is just fun. i would wear any of the three (now if only there wasn't that zero at the end of those prices...)

artifact 003 / ring / jaws / $140

what did we wear: ARTH

ARTH

the sole reason i looked up this store is because i came across the place on houston while headed to mamouns for falafel last wednesday. and the only reason why the store caught my eye was because their logo is a rabbit with antlers on its head and its adorable and elegant simultaneously (and its a rabbit!)

there are 5 stores, 4 in japan and 1 in soho new york. they do seem a bit expensive but i love the colors and styles in general and they seem to have a good selection of hats for both genders.

and this is their pitch to you as to why you should shop arth: "The rabbit has something new on its head, so you should try something new on your head too."

what did we accessorize: bunnies

bunnies of my own!

super cute sasha for h+m campaign (only img i've posted twice)

ok so i've been meaning to write this post for a while now. it's like my love for bunnies coincided with the fashion world and trendy accessories and came up with what now has been seen everywhere and adorning every head. i'm fascinated by the timeline and the photos...


madonna: the worst of the bunnies...


ali michael: the best of the bunny bows : )


marc jacobs spring RTW 09. multitudes of brightly colored bow topped models.

what did we wear: ROYAL ASCOT

today i was asked to research photos of men dressed to the nines at the derby so i began to hunt for images and remembering the infamous royal ascot scenes of "my fair lady," immediately typed in "royal ascot" and was treated to a wonderful variety and number of gorgeous shots and gorgeous outfits. the hats? they're brilliant.



all of the following photos are from this site:
SERENA BOWLES - ROYAL ASCOT

following love-d's lego obsession post i've been mildly more aware
this tiny store in sham shui po's apple mall had all these adorable lego keychains and even a lego bracelet! (bottom right) going for $59 HKD ($7.61 USD) the keychains are mostly $20 HKD ($2.58 USD)

don't ask me why i spent x amount of time this morning perusing UO sales online. it's just what i did for breaks during school and i guess i'm stuck on the occasional window shopping binge.
