Miss Italy. My new found love...

miss italy
Miss Italy is a Melbourne-based importer and agent for the most amazing and beautiful Italian accessories which have been hand picked. The new agency is the proud exclusive distributor throughout Australia of Braccialetti Cruciani, their very first brand which designs iconic and stunning lace macrame bracelets. 'Glamorous, iconic and 100% made in Italy, the classic Cruciani four leaf clover is the original must-have macrame bracelet that started a style revolution.' Since their launch in the Summer of 2011, more than 8 million bracelets have been sold around the world! The classic 'Four Leaf Clover' comes in more than 25 'to-die for' colour ways and in 2013, new colours and designs have started to make an appearance. I must admit I would ultimately love one in every colour, as they are so affordable and so bloody cute!! They are also the best ideas for presents for friends as they are unique and you have to admit, it always sounds great saying they are 'Made in Italy!' The bracelets are made from macrame lace and produced by traditional Italian lacemakers, which are designed to be worn casually or to dress up an elegant outfit. They truly are statement accessories that every girl must own!
The new bracelet designs include romantic 'Hearts' that come in Bright red and lavender, 'Butterflies' that come in a few different colours including the amazing 'multi-colour' which I am always a sucker for, and the other design, 'Mars' which are available in fluro and black. The vibrant colours are so eye-catching and the intricate detail that goes into making these, amazes me! 
What I love about these bracelets is that not only do they look beautiful, but there is a meaning behind each one. The 'Cruciani Butterfly' is a symbol of liberty, lightness and a long, joyful life. The CRUCIANI Butterfly is the ultimate bracelet for the free spirit and retails for just $23. With the 'Four Leaf Clover,' as you well know, it's a symbol of hope, unexpected joy and good luck. The Four leaf clover has forever been a symbol of happiness and given it's rarity, many consider it to be a powerful good luck charm- I know, I for one do! I can remember spending hours when I was younger, sitting in fields looking for a special four leaf clover, as I am a true believer in this. With this bracelet, it has seven macramé lace four leaf clovers which represent the seven wonders of the world, ending in the letter C. According to tradition, each leaf represents a particular quality: the first- reputation, the second- wealth, the third- health and the fourth - true love. The 'Four leaf clover' bracelet retails for only $19- so I'll definitely be ordering more then one!! The 'Hearts' bracelet has a romantic meaning of 'true love' or as they say 'Per sempre amore… meaning 'love forever,' and the retail price is also only $23. Finally the 'Mars' bracelet, which was launched at Men's Fashion Week in Florence, is a symbol of 'fantasy and of the future.' This bracelet is only $23 and I think so affordable!
Each bracelet comes beautifully packaged in a custom designed sleeve with a guarantee of authenticity and a 'good luck' wish in nine languages. Here are some photos below from their website which you can check out HERE and also some of my favourites. I can't wait to get my hands on some and show you all :) xx

Tom Binns Design.

Tom Binns founded his jewellery business in 2004 with CEO Cristina Viera Newton. Before that, he collaborated with Vivienne Westwood designing a 'Punkature' collection in the 1980's. His inspiration comes from the early twentieth century Dada movement, rejecting standard beauty and using his creative mind to make even the most boring, useless objects seem wonderful. He has been quoted as saying 'Jewellery is always a treasure, and though it may not be made of gold and diamonds, it should still have that sentiment,' which rings very true for me. Although I love the beauty of precious stones and diamonds, my personal favourite jewellery ranges from a cord bracelet with a plastic skull that I bought from Colette in Paris, to my many sterling silver rings bought from all over the place. Anyway, Binns latest collection 'Rainbow's End' has to be one of my favourites. Firstly it incorporates my love of skulls and secondly, much like the title, he has used splashes of neon rainbow colours, which he hand paints making the jewellery glow in the dark. Seriously amazing! The pieces are fun and wearable, and the only thing stopping me from buying the whole collection is the price tag, as they are a little on the pricey side. Definitely pieces to save up for.. Luckily for me, they are on sale where I work at Husk at the moment, so planning on investing in a couple of pieces!! Below are some of my favourites from a few different collections of his. Go and check out his website HERE to see more amazing artwork!! Do you love!? xx

Chloe Norgaard for US Harpers Bazaar

I'm in love with this girl! She's naturally a brunette but has been dying her hair for years by herself and with the help of friends. Usually you only see this sort of colour on models for a show or because they have to. But not Chloe, and I love it! She is not only beautiful, but incredibly unique. I think we will be seeing a lot more of her! She's definitely a new face to watch. Although she has been modelling for a few years, I think she is about to make it big… Well, at least I hope so! Born in LA, she moved to Texas at the age of 2. Her dad is Danish and her mum is Polish/ Irish decent, so a very interesting mix. Below is an editorial shot by the amazing Terry Richardson for the November issue of the US Harpers Bazaar. Makes me want to go and dye my hair crazy colours!! xxx

Things are getting Hairy.

So at the moment I've been seeing more and more colour in girls (and boys!) hair and I'm loving it! I can't wait to add some colour in my life! The biggest question I have to ask is….. which colour!??? I'm thinking blue and pink. But I'm loving purple and orange! Then Alexandra Spencer from blog 4th and Bleeker http://4thandbleekerblog.blogspot.com.au/ (shown in pic 2) has tempted me to turning green. I'm pretty sure I'll only dip the ends in. Half/ Half as in half blue on the left and half green on the right, or all over!??? Or maybe even heaps of different streaks!? Anyway, I'll show you the result after. Below are a set (the first of many) of some of the hair inspirations I'm loving, colour or plain, I just love hair (wish I was blessed with more!) shame….. Wish I knew how to construct the first style!
