Maise - Diamond Ring $25 shop here
As miss Monroe wisely said, Diamonds are a girls best friend. And with this stunning ring, who needs real diamonds, when this is more likely to catch the attention of a room then naked pictures of Miley Cyrus. This thick chunky ring is the epitome of sexy, with its thick bold lines and sharp pyramid design, how can you wear this ring and not know you are wearing the hottest ring in the whole room, yes, even hotter then that girls expensive engagement ring.
Nicola Finetti - Sequin Tank Dress $281.60 (on sale was $352) shop here
As soon as I laid eyes on this dress, my heart had a mini 23 year old girl heart attack. Nothing turns on my senses more then dresses, sparkles, glamor and an unexpected twist, which is exactly what this dress entails. With my heart pounding out of my chest, I flicked through all the occasions in my mind, to wear a dress like this at, a birthday with a pair of black heels, a wedding with some white lacy kitten heels or a David Bowie concert with a pair of REALLY high platform heels and not to mention matched with that diamond Maise ring, this dress is my psychadelic dream come true.
Strummer - Sergeant P's Jacket $345 shop here
Well who ever knew Sergeant Pepper had such stylish taste in clothes, I would have been a member of that lonely hearts club to, if only to steal this amazing jacket. With its tailored look and slight stretch (important for cold days when you need layers underneath), this jacket is SO versatile. You could match it with a pair of skinny jeans and military boots for work or match it with a cool evening dress at night. Why should the military have all the fashion fun?
Amy Kaehne - Count Cape Top $240 shop here
There is something so charming and mysterious about this top, perhaps it is because it reminds me of the Adams Family mixed with Count Dracula. The sheer black material matched with the delicate draping arms, create such a carefree elegant look that I'm sure would suit almost anyone of any size. The inspiration for this collection was Tim Burton films (edward scissorhands, nightmare before Christmas....) and this would be the perfect top to wear when Johnny Depp decides to whisk you away on his magic ghost boat.
Deadly Ponies - Petunia Bud Pendent $210 shop here
It was hard to pick one item from this beautiful collection, but I couldn't stop thinking about this beautiful necklace, yes I even dreamt about it the night after seeing it. The long, delicate, thin sterling silver chain draping down into a beautiful hand carved bone petunia, almost as if it where a teardrop. For me, this is the perfect example of women, the gorgeous light pink colour creates such a contrast to the thick pendent it is so fragile, yet it is also so bold and strong.
