//// Does not compute
Posted on | August 13, 2010 | 6 Comments
The exceptional summer is still continuing here — and my super long and loose T by Alexander Wang dress has been pretty much a staple on my first working days. It is perfectly comfortable in the heat but offers enough coverage for air conditioned office. And no… …we don’t have a dressing code.
Again, long lengts go with flats with me — even when the ridiculous lenght of this dress is quite evident. I was about to wash to shrink it, but I’ve grown up loving gathering it when going the stairs and the sculptural column effect the excess hem creates when standing still.
The lovely new thing here is chunky resin bracelet from Sobral, the beautiful pieces of circuit boards are eternally suspended to clear resin. The cuff is substantially heavy, and the sun picks the bronze circuits beautifully.
Actually the cuff got into my collection in special way, Max&Chloe jewelry net store contacted me with a request with small collaboration. I gave it a thought (in Finnish blogs there has been a lot of discussion about product gifts and blogger ethics) — but I really appreciated Max&Chloe’s approach to collaborations, really liked what I saw in the store and decided to go for it. Max&Chloe carries a wide selection of mainly North American jewelry brands, from Kenneth Jay Lane via affordable fashion jewelry brands — my favorite of those probably being Blu Bijoux — to more directional designers, like Sobral. The only problem for European customer is that even costume jewelries easily exceed the toll limits… …hmm, maybe this is just good thing for my wallet! But Max&Chloe international shipping costs are very reasonable, so I’m definitely sneaking there in sale seasons.
