Woman in Chains

I love this D.I.Y. idea.  I have to get on it!

Flick of the Wrist

I'm still obsessed with wrists full of bracelets & statement cuffs.  I feel like gold doesn't suit me, but these are enough to change my mind.

Arm Candy

I love wrists full of gorgeous accessories like this.  It's the final touch, but it's so subtle.  You have to do it with just the right eye for balance & color.

Give 'Em the Evil Eye

A friend of mine likes to keep the evil eye close to her to ward away bad luck.  It is now my newest obsession.  Isn't the Luv Low x Erin Wasson necklace cool?  I mean maybe more is more in this case.  I also love the bracelet by Nicole Richie's House of Harlow 1960.  I could use a little protection from bad luck as well... 

Rainbow Brite

 

I’ve been obsessed with these Tom Binns pieces for a while.  I bought a vintage crystal rhinestone necklace in hopes of D.I.Y.-ing one for myself.  However, I’m still in search of neon paint...  

How cool would it be to paint this Tom Binns cuff?

Armored

How cool is this picture from Jak & Jil blog?  I love the finger armor (my newest obsession) combined with the silver nailpolish. 

Turquoise Fever

 
I used to be afraid of turning into the woman who wears too much turquoise.  You know the one...

However, last year, I bought more turquoise jewelry than I ever thought I would own & I adore every piece.  I would have bought more if guilt didn't set in.  And after seeing this picture, I can't wait to cover myself with it!

'Cause I'm Feeling like a Criminal

 

 

While we are on the topic of subversion, look at these gorgeous handcuffs shown on the Louis Vuitton runway show at Fall 2011 Paris Fashion Week.  I know it's suggestive & naughty, but I just love how beautiful they are.  It's so playful & cute in blue.  I can't wait to see them in person!

Be Still My Beating Heart

I had to pick my jaw off the ground when I saw this necklace on the Charles Albert website. 

In Its Clutches

 

I think I need this talon cuff by Pamela Love.  There is something so naturalist about it that makes it romantic.  I love it's toughness, but it's so detailed & in that way, kind of delicate. 

The Search is On

 

This cuff is the stuff of dreams!  I definitely have my eye out for this one. 

Cuff 'Em

The Hermès Collier de Chien has been an obsession of mine for a quite while.  While I still can't decide on the configuration of my absolute dream Birkin (35 or 40 or 50 cm?  gold or silver hardware?  definitely Black Box leather!), I know I want this cuff in Black with silver hardware.  Having two would be the ultimate in luxury! 

You can only imagine my delight when I discovered the template for the paper Collier de Chien.  It's definitely not a replacement for the real one, but a good placeholder on my wrist.  You can choose one of many designs & download your own template here.  Here is a (bad) photo of my own handiwork:
