Some Eccentric Body Jewelry ....

This is one of my first ever jewelry posts... and I'm not talking about your classic diamond earrings and pearl necklaces...The trend is now quite the opposite, and that is eccentric body jewelry. The more exotic the better! It is safe to say that if you wore these pieces out, you would definitely steal the show!

I found this first piece on Fashion Infusion blog!


In my opinion, this item is positively stunning and unique... It would be the perfect way to dress up those summertime, strapless dresses!


This next Egyptian inspired accessory is Bliss Lau's "Head Peace In Old Nickle."

Let's just say it's far from your typical princess tiara or those hippie headbands... Very exotic!

I am curious how this piece stays on... Is there are clip somewhere to keep it from sliding around??

Some may think this third item is over the top... but I think it is just brilliant! What an easy conversation starter this would be. It's Aminaka Wilmont's necklace in gun metal!



Take a closer look...

I would love to rock this over a plain white, fitted t-shirt!

I have never seen anything like this last accessory before... It's Erickson Beamon's "Duchess of Fabulous Earring in Crystal." At first I wasn't sure how I felt about this piece... maybe a little too elfish? But then I thought about the graceful Arwen and my doubts about this piece quickly vanished! (Who wouldn't want to be like the LOTR elven goddess?!) It definitely takes earrings to a whole new level!

Anyone know which way to Rivendell?

There you have it....the more eccentric the better. Hopefully you enjoyed taking a look at these show stopping pieces! Let us know which is your favorite! (or which you would never be caught dead in!)

If you want to buy either of the last 3 items, you can find them on http://www.forwardforward.com/ !


And if you participated in our contest that we posted a few days ago, we will announce the winners as soon as we finish writing the the post featuring those three blogs... STAY TUNED ;)

Vogue Walnut Farms; "Lost in the Woods"

One of the best parts about winter wardrobe is layering. For us, it's all about the long dresses, shawls and scarves. When it comes to color, we love black, black and gray. Sometimes we'll add a little color.... like red lipstick. On this shoot we layered up so much, we didn't even feel the cold! Ok, that's a lie...we were freezing. But what can we say? We're dedicated to our art.

We tried to make this shoot more natural looking, dark, yet beautiful at the same time. We didn't want to strike any outlandish poses this time around...just simple and clean.

Here is Katie-Lu, like a gypsy in the woods.


Burrr! Thank God Meggasus had her warm scarf...

Meggasus bought this scarf on Canal St. for 5 Dollars in NYC. We love a good bargain in Chinatown.


Katie-Lu's gray scarf is from Martin and Osa... one of our favorite stores. The tan shawl is 10 dollars a la Walmart. We bought our 95 yr old Aunt Olga the same one for Christmas this year! She loved it. The shawl transcends generations.....


The sound of the beating drums grows louder... Meggasus is fearful.
Meggasus wears a feather hairpiece from LowLuv by Erin Wasson.

Flying through the Forrest...
Katie wears a burnt orange scarf from H&M. Black and gold earrings are from Forever 21. Remember, go big or go home.



The gray dress Meg wears is from an unknown touristy shop on the shore of Lake George... Ya know, one of those places that is full of Rastafarian garb and trashy tye dye T-shirts.


Numb hands. Bad idea.


Now, which way to Hawaii??


Which way to Rivendell?


Just so you know, right before we started this shoot, Meggasus fully submerged her right foot into the edge of the stream...soaking her grungy boot! :( Luckily, we parked Nelly close by and drove home...literally 30 seconds up the street...an unfortunate detour. Like we said before, we are dedicated to our art.
