Most Wanted | Winter Obsessions

I've had quite a few sartorial sugar plums dancing around in my mind's eye recently...

Maybe you already know *Ahem* that I reserve a special, cozy, cuddly place in my heart for the strange, the darling, and the macabre.  So without further ado let's take a moment to focus on that handcuffed bear...

A thorough combination of the adorable, the delicate, and the very dark.  You can even see his little teeth! 

Designed by Momocreatura, a jewelry brand created by a Japanese, Central Saint Martins graduate called Momo.  She has a delightfully twisted sense of humor, and designs for those who are "curious enough to glance into another world".   Don't miss her other clever talismans as well, particularly those from the "Nearly Dead" collection.   

No, these darlings are not cheap - unless you are looking for an absolute treasure and future heirloom. (The gold bear is $522.50, and prices run between $100 and $600)  They are also not fast fashion, and are not clumsily made.  Massive understatement right there. 

Lastly, I'd like to draw your attention to this:

Pretty much the sentiment that I ought to go ahead and get engraved across my forehead, as I tend to be a nervous nellie when it comes to doing things, as opposed to thinking things.  Appropriately placed dead center on a (really delicious) Smythson leather agenda.

Oh god, that reminds me.   The new year is fast approaching.   

Wait - scratch everything on your To-Do list...  

COCKTAIL PARTY FIRST.
