A bit of a belated post but as is my motto - better late than never, back in March it was Ned Rose Day, an annual fun day in the UK spent raising money for people less fortunate than ourselves. As I was working in a local primary school, the teachers had to customise an item of clothing or accessory at home and come to school in it on ned Nose Day. I had a pair of vile shoes that I bought in a moment of madness and so they were the victims of my customisation - I tried drawing designs on them at first as they were a horrid off white color but that frankly looked like a dogs dinner so I started messing about with my left over kawaii tape and old beads I bought in a fantastic shop in Mitte in Berlin ages ago and this was the gaudy but fun result - the children loved them and made me do a hideously embarrassing catwalk through the assembly hall to show 'em off - For sure I ain't no Kate Moss!
Fancypicnic is a UK designer and the lovely lady behind these wonderful colorful pieces of jewellery, inspired by travelling circuses and her grandma's attic. The vibrant mix of tones,textures and colors is a real feast for the eyes. Amongst the collection are earrings, necklaces and cuffs which you can see at her Etsy shop.
Hoakon/Helga design lovely bright and unusual bags like these two here. They have an etsy store too.
