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

D.L & Co Candles.

Ok so my next big spend is going to be at D.L & Company as I have been wanting some freaky skulls and different sorts of candles for a while. I have been obsessed with all things dark and evil for some time and then I come across these neon skull candles mixing dark symbols with bright colours. Amazing. Who would of thought!! Can't wait to decorate with them! :) xx

Rings. Jewels. Bracelets.

One of the things on my bucket list to to make my own jewellery. I love the idea behind putting all my collections, ideas and inspirations into a jewellery line and sharing it with the world. Having my two sisters is a big inspiration for starting my own collection as they both have their own fashion labels Life with Bird and Alice McCall. I love Mania Mania, Pamela Love, Ksubi, Von Treskow, Dallas and Carlos, 2 by Lyn and Tony, Fiona Paxton, Venessa Arizaga, Tom Binns, Karen Libermann and many more. Some of the following are my faves that I have found on other blogs. Lots more to come and I hope you like!
