D.I.Y. Givenchy Nosering

       The nose rings from the S/S 12 Givenchy couture collection are now infamous. Every single magazine of note have had the rings grace their editorials. The nose rings create a certain mystique; marrying both tribal and punk influences, they make any look instantly strong and striking. We've been coveting these nose rings for a while, but the hefty price tag keeps it far out of reach for us. It took a little while, but we think we've fashioned an acceptable dupe to these sought after rings. You design how you want your rings to look, have fun crafting your own couture look! 

All Hail Kate

Kate Moss has proven to still be fashion's prevailing darling. She sure has started off 2013 with a bang, racking up not only 4 covers but being deemed the face of 6 brands in their S/S 13 campaigns. Scandal has not evaded Kate's career, and the fact that after all of that she is still in high demand (and looking pretty good!), makes it impossible not to admire the woman/give major props for her resilience. 

Let's take a look at Kate's 2013 portfolio (thus far):
