bits and bobbins

this week’s if money was no object… is all about the graphic and the colorblocked!

australia’s dinosaur designs has been a long time favorite of mine as far as accessories go. they just relaunched their website and have been showing off their lovely, colorful jewels and home accessories for all the world to see! i think these orange teardrop-shaped slightly dangly earrings are simple and lovely and have an organic, almost tropical feeling:

i’ve always had a fascination with all things medical and biological, particularly when they have to do with the human body. so i am particularly into these 19th century-inspired necklaces by etsy seller paraphernalia (from manchester in the UK), like this so-called ‘anatomica tooth necklace’. it would be a particularly fitting homage to the 3 wisdom teeth i recently had removed. HAH! love the oversized images of these objects…it elevates them, gives them a reverent importance:

i wasn’t enthusiastically bowled over by much of the fall collections in the past month (yes, i finally looked), but if this fendi leather patchwork bag is not me, i am not sure what is!:

i actually see this spirograph tee (from delia’s) under this amazing marimekko supergraphic strapless frock (from anthropologie):

these rainbow-y(!) colorblocked pumps from office in the UK are so loud and 80s in a way that i just love. i’ll never own them (because of that damn exchange rate that punishes americans!) but i still like looking at them…:
