she sells seashells on the seashore

i-D's 300th anniversary issue reached my personal top 5 list of magazines of the year, for their albeit brief (and delayed!) review of Barcelona's 080 fashion week and the Miami editorial by Magnus Unnar, styled by Sarah Richardson. I hadn't paid as much attention to any S/S 09 shows to the extent of studying the jewellery and whatnot, but I love the Stella McCartney sea-shell pieces that were used in these pictures. There is no way I would pay anything more than 5 euro on any piece of jewellery, despite it being the year of the 'it necklace' and all, but this is definitely a refreshing and inspiring take on the seashells as jewelry thing that might be a good DIY starting point. Maybe good old Fimo could be the answer?

Marble mad

I couldn't resist this €1 piece of scrap fabric at the Humana shop in el Borne... Maybe it's because I still had Martin Lamothe's marble-print dresses in my head...

me encanta....

We spent this morning at the Encants market at Plaza Glories with Lina. For some reason we weren't having as much luck as usual with haggling, but I managed to leave with a faded pink old framed photograph of a ski-slope....

and an old pair of mens glasses.... which I'm going to turn into a Ann-Sofie Back inspired necklace, from her S/S 2005 collection. Will post a picture once it's done!

(maybe putting it into writing like this will hold me to actually finishing a DIY project for once??)
