Eva Kim Heu
March 21st, 2006
Austrian designer Eva Kim Heu presented Aiko just a couple days ago at Blickfang in Stuttgart. Aiko is a cap that is crafted out of traditional felt, the way hats and caps have been made for the past decades. A wonderfully simple and elegant cap, every one is a unique piece, handmade especially for the wearer to accentuate the head shape. But Eva also presented her latest collection of womens fashion and she’s an incredibly talented photographer if you look at the images on her site.

Berries ring
March 20th, 2006
Sure, plain bands are beautiful. But the Berries ring by Rachell Leigh is simply exquisite. The wire-wrapped band is made of a copper material while a cluster of gems in different shapes, sizes and textures sets this beauty apart. Features freshwater pearl and agate, this gemstone ring is a gem itself. The colors form a unique berry palette and the stones are each intertwined in the same copper wire that craftingly makes up the band. Stunning.

New York City is home to many dynamic designers, among them Mish Tworkowski. As a child, he created jewelry as a hobby and, today, he has become a first-name wonder (most know him strictly as Mish, kind of like Cher or Madonna). When we spotted these crazy cool 18K Hana Bamboo Cuffs we knew they’d find their way into Marie’s Closet. The combination is one of whimsy, bold color and infinite style. They’re hand-carved from coral and every girl’s dream: diamonds.

The Prettiest, Bar None
March 16th, 2006
It’s spring, which means it’s time to toss out those slivers of boring white soap and opt for colorful bars with personality (not to mention a great lather). This one from Carol’s Daughter is rich with moisturizing glycerin and the savory scents of lavender, rosemary, hyacinth, watermelon and cucumber. There’s never been a better excuse to rub-a-dub-dub in your glorious tub.
