Plain Ti Wedgies
Hi Everyone,
It has taken me a while to get these G2 Wedgies done. Funny how sometimes the projects that are supposed to be quick and relatively easy can often turn into never ending battles. I thought I'd be done with these several weeks ago which is why I sold a few of the first test pieces to folks who emailed looking for new stuff. And of course one person immediately took advantage of that to put one up on Ebay before I even had a chance to finish the bulk of the batch and post a Wedgie sale. That generated a lot of trouble for me and dozens of emails from upset fans and so from now on I will try to avoid that and not release stuff until the batches are actually completed.
Anyway, I'm still only halfway done with the Wedgies and need to finish up the rest of the batch but I have a small number of them ready today. These are plain stonewashed with no anodizing. The ti Wedgies measure 4 inches long by 1/2" wide and are well over 1/4" in thickness so they are massive little blocks of titanium. In addition, titanium plate this thick is also sometimes textured so I was delighted to see that these have a light pebbly Raw Bar finish. The lanyard opening on these doubles as an O2 wrench.
Are they tough? Well, talk about overkill...I used a 2 lb hammer to nail one deep into a wooden 2x4 and there was no damage whatsoever besides a slightly flattened mark on the end where the hammer had struck it. Good stuff. :)
The Wedgies run $60 plus shipping. This will be a one per customer sale because I only have a couple dozen completed so far but I wanted to get some out there as soon as possible. More will be coming in the next few days. Thanks for your patience and understanding!
All gone, thank you!

Double Denim
I was so inspired by Miroslava's double denim outfit that I wanted to try it out myself. And I must say that I love it! The denim patchwork blouse and patchwork skinny jeans are both from See by Chloe, the clutch is from Beginningboutique, the boots are from Romwe, the nailpolish is Chanel June, the cap is from H&M and the necklace is from Chanel.
At the moment it is snowing in the Netherlands and it is -12 Degrees celsius, so when we shot this outfit post I was freezing.. But I wanted to shoot this outfit without a coat because I think it looks the best that way hehe :)
So I had to be tough for 15 minutes and then stand in front of my fireplace for half an hour to warm up. All in the name of fashion :)
Btw, what do you think of my hair? I like it and decided to keep it short.

New in: Versace Cruise
The cherry on top! I liked almost all of the cherry printed items from the Versace cruise collection from H&M. I was lucky enough to get my hands on a couple of items. My favourite items are the flats and the bracelet. Which ones are your favourites?
Too bad that as we speak it is freezing outside, so I guess I have to wait a couple of months before I can wear these lovely items. Can't wait to style them, Spring/ Summer hurry up!

Rainbow Stamped Keytons
Hi Everyone,
Well this is going to be a big party weekend here in New England for obvious reasons so I figured maybe I could squeeze one more sale in before all my productivity goes completely down the drain. Naturally I'm rooting for the Patriots but I think it's going to be a very hard fought contest and the Giants are a damned good football club so we'll see what happens. It will be enjoyable no matter the outcome.
Anyhow, today I have more ti Keytons done. These have my antique diemaker stamps on them. They are stonewashed and feature bright rainbow anodizing. These run $70 each plus shipping. The batch is a bit small so I'll make this a one per customer sale please. I do have more ti Keytons coming after this and another big batch will be underway very soon so many more of these are coming later this winter.
All Gone, thank you!

Tomboy
We shot this look in the weekend when it was a bit warmer. At the moment it is so cold in the Netherlands, if you are longer than 5 minutes outside your face is frozen.
Brr, I hate the cold, I am so jealous of you how live somewhere where the temperature never hits beneath the 15 degrees! I guess, I am not really a winter person ;)
About my look; the dress is from COS, the cap is from H&M, the shoes are from Burberry, the bracelet is from the Versace for H&M cruise collection and the clutch is from Beginningboutique.
