Esty store spotlight: My Little Fisheye

You've probably noticed by now that those cute little woven friendship bracelets you adorned your arms with when you were 8 are, well, cool again. But now that we're all grown-up (kind of...) we're on the lookout for a bit of an edgier take on the old-school best friends bracelets. And it looks like My Little Fisheye knows exactly what we mean.

My Little Fisheye is the brainchild of L.A-based Lauren Rodgers, who's loved making things for as long as she can remember. After graduating from FIDM, she worked various jobs in the fashion industry before realising the corporate side of the fashion biz just wasn't for her. Lucky for us, making stuff is Lauren's calling, and the spiked BFF bracelets above are just one of her many creations. They're the perfect combination of schoolgirl innocence and teenage angst, so they're pretty much made for us Tantrum girls!


Check out Lauren's etsy store for more info on the BFF spike bracelets and sneak a look at more of her handmade jewellery and clothing and vintage finds!


Spike BFF bracelets by Lauren Rodgers - around $24.00 USD.

Falguni & Shane Peacock AW11

Falguni & Shane Peacock's AW catwalk show was held at On/Off's new venue in Covent Garden's Mercer St Studios and though the dreary London rain was putting a downer on our mood, we had no doubt that Falguni and Shane's collection would live up to their exotic last name.




Featuring their signature use of embellishments and animal prints, the Peacock's toughened up their act with panelled bodysuits which gave a nod to AW's impending sci-fi trend. Of course, there was the usual selection of beautifully designed dresses, featuring heavy embroidery and feathers, but by adding accessories like dangerously cool spiked leather gloves to the mix, Falguni & Shane ensured that whilst still in touch with their habit of making exquisite evening-wear, they still know how to shake things up a little.
