Wowzers!! It's getting hot in hurrrrr, these liquefied specimens are a flash freeze in time, certified liquid gold! However, these drooping exaggerations have been stirring up mixed perspectives on their appropriateness & their well-timed arrival to the fashion scene. In the same degree, these melting marvels have been displaying chivalrous outlooks on global warming & are merely demonstrate fictitious ideas of what climate change might do to our beloved possessions. Thus, the direction of these dripping statement pieces remain up in the air but are gaining attention from all the fashion buzz . I'd say mate, do you remember that ol' saying, ahhh, how does it go again, ohh right: "If you can't take the heat, wear a PAPER BAG".

Go ahead...LAUGH. Okay Okay. So you might have gotten a chuckle or two out of these abnormal photos, but start taking notes my peeps. Chin straps are no longer for football jocks, fastening strings on your wee pompom hats, nor for holding up the sagging skin from your face lift no… they will soon become much more than that. This protective look has a dual function, as both a necklace & a headband wed together: it will be the most paramount accessory to help slenderize the neck & to enhance & highlight the bone structure in the face. Opportunists, seize the trend, as all it needs is time to grow & the incorporation of more fitted & streamlined designs, some creative accents & variation in fabric selections. Still not convinced, well, just think of it the “it” accessory you never had: substitute that per-usual chapeau or that bib necklace of yours for a staple chin sling. “Ahh, Doc, for the last time, nothing's broken, GESH!!! ALL CLEAR”.

These quirky cords used for transferring electrical power will ensue from its motionless state & soon resurrect into the fashion world. Although it has not yet been manifested, this soon-to-be socially charged phenomenon would combine attaching & intertwining of electric cable & extension cords into bold & edgy power jewellery & accessories. This quintessential idea of mine screams retro chic & directly aligns with the current stirring of hardware & weaponry inspired accessories already on the market. Likewise, by joining two opposite plug ends, these flexible cords would link together sparking ( not literally of course ) funky dangling statement jewellery. Ingenious, quite possibly, but just think about the possibilities: dashing golds, vibrant metallics, fliratious sparkles, translucents with see-through wiring... *DROOL*.  Fashionstas, it only takes one trip to the hardware store to kick this trend into high voltage. Ahhhhhhhhhh, just as "Glade®" would put it: "Plug it in, Plug it in", no pun intended.

Are you totally vexed about trying to grow out that awful shade of "blah", well, for once, let that au naturel hair colour of your shine through my friend. "Ombré ", the French term for the shading/fading of colours & tones, is freshest hair trend since the auburn hair craze. In like manner, this tie-dye inspiring look involves brisk dip & dye hair process that colours hair gradually from its' darkest to its' lightest hues. REMEMBER: It's all about constrast, as this look can be perfected using your natural hair colour as a guide. Dang. I must say, grown out roots never looked so good. It's care-free, low maintaneance hair colour done right, no root touch-ups required.

VICTORIAN-INSPIRED HAIR MOURNING JEWELRY

This unusual ancient tradition dates back to the early Victorian ages in which a mourner would gather hair locks of a decreased loved one & commemorate them by enclosing human hair into brooches, pendants, pockets, bangles etc. This was a popular practice & acted as source of sacred memorial for the mourning individual, often symbolizing the attempt to prolong the life of the decreased. By the same token, these original antiques have gained plenty of sentimental value over the years & can be sought at very high price tag. Designing replicates have become more common through avant-grade stylized approaches which include the incorporation of strands of pony hair over human hair and the addition of wrapping/coiling, looping & attaching of flashy metal clasps & chains. Squeamish yet? just think of it as the new fabric of life, hair never looked so good.
