Kokon To Zai A/W 15

So I was randomly searching on Google & I came across ANOTHER fashion collection inspired by ACO. Apparently it must be a common theme this year, not that I'm complaining!
Kokon To Zais Autumn/Winter 2015 collection is stunning! A beautiful melding of black & white, through pattern & contrast.
It's definitely a 'statement' collection. The entire collection seems to have evolved from a A Clockwork Orange style, though not every piece makes a direct reference.






I highly recommend checking out the entire collection, but I just wanted to share the outfits that truly stood out to me.
It makes me endlessly happy that designers acknowledge the timelessness of boots & bowler hats!

Mini Orange & Clear Resin Ludwig Van Busts - Frank Kozik

Finally some Frank Kozik busts to add to my collection! Somehow I've missed, or been too poor, for every other Ludwig Van bust release in the past, but I managed to acquire the most recent mini resin busts. Of course, I would have had them a week ago if Australia Post weren't so incapable, but that's another story.
These busts were released for Designer Con this year(mentioned in a post on my other blog: DCON & Supanova), limited to 50 each. Luckily Kozik had a few lefts after the convention & listed them in his online store. They were simply too appealing, not to blow some cash on them.


Rather melodramatic toys really, the facial expression is perfect.
Of course, another new toy meant I had to reorganise my cabinet(again) to fit them in. Bit of a tedious process, one which won't work after I acquire one or two more items. Managed to squeeze the busts in next to my Clockwork Carrot, a nice little 'Kozik' section. It'll be nice when I get a new cabinet & my items back from the museum, then my Kozik selection will appear much more impressive. For now, small but effective.


Yet another brilliant addition to my collection. It's been a good year for ACO acquisitions, still hoping for one or two more before the year ends. Hopefully next year, I can hunt down the few I missed the opportunity to own this year. Though I do have many other future purchases coming in the future! Happy Holidays everyone & thanks for reading!

Designer Jewellery or 'Pretty Things I Want To Wear'

A bit of a change from toy posts. A nice selection of jewellery pieces I've found. I hope to own many of these in the future. Though I imagine I might be pushing my luck with the rings. However, only time will tell & for now, I can continue to admire their awesomeness.



Just a little information about each designer, in case anyone was interest:

1. Crazy Pig Designs ~ Absolutely stunning & wonderfully chunky rings from Crazy Pig. These are available in silver, gold & platinum. Fantastic rings from a brilliant company!

2. Fable & Fury ~ This deisgner has some many wonderful designs, it's hard to know how to choose. I own one of her necklaces(the Real Horror Show design), it's stunning in real life.
All her necklaces are available in silver or black. She also has a wonderful REDRUM necklace.

3. Wild Thing Studio ~ Wonderful gold Alex head pendant design. This is also available in black.
