Ring Master

I've mentioned in the past my slight ring obsession.  And I say slight because the odd thing, is I don't enjoy wearing rings on my fingers. I feel constricted and claustrophobic, however, I love and appreciate the intricate design of a well made statement ring. So I collect more as an art connoisseur, and only ones that completely capture my heart. With the help of my very dear friend, here is my miniature toy collection. Enjoy!

Kate Moss for Topshop AW10

Vintage boho, like only Kate Moss knows how, launching November 1st Top Shops 1970's Bohemian autumn 2010 collection. The clothing very rocker chic, includes floral prints, embroidery, paisley and fringing. My favorite piece being a grey suede shrunken bomber jacket. Bomber jackets are everything right now, and this styles add a sexy kicked up twist to the norm. 

Just in time for holiday parties, the collection also includes an array of backless, sequined maxi dresses, patchwork chiffon maxi skirts, feather bolero (which I need yesterday)  an beautiful cream tunic with faux fur collar. All of course perfectly accessorized with cocktail rings and gold necklaces.

Alexander McQueen Memorial

It’s awful to imagine him trying—and failing—to cope, and one can only hope that, if he was looking for peace, he found it. For everyone left behind, there will eventually be consolation, however scant right now, in a body of work whose power will never die.

—Tim Blanks

St. Paul’s Cathedral in London Alexander McQueen's Memorial

My soul, was in attendance.
