someone recently asked me how i maintain my layer-loving-look when the weather heats up? the answer is ice.



indeed, when i am unable to immerse myself in myriad textiles, i texturize by adding more bric-a-brac and bling. so let it be given that from now until approximately september i'll be having a mega marie antoinette moment (confession: i have been watching sophia coppola's film on repeat while making jewelry).

i want candy! i want to crystallize this, ribbon tie that! i want tulle and satin and lace! i want to wear my cake and ice it too.



there is a symmetry then, that the sweet lovelies over at ice.com
( ! ) just sent me the most dazzling earrings ~ on which i tied teensy-tiny silver bows. i tell you i just can't help it!



i also couldn't help wearing this necklace just once before shipping it off to shrimpton couture. sometimes it breaks my heart to part with things i've made - my babies! - but unlike some other queens, i'm slowly learning how to share.


custom-made paper hat (the band was originally a lanvin belt), ysl sunnies, earrings from ice.com, self-designed necklace, vintage kimono (used to be floor-length, i had it shortened), h+m bandage dress, prevata lace booties, vintage morris moskowitz fur bag


update: shrimpton couture just announced on their blog that they're making this item available for pre-sale ~ so feel free to contact them if you're interested!
