Rave On

Congrats to Blandine Bardeau, a French womenswear graduate whose work in now gracing the Oxford Street windows of Selfridges department store.

Check out her blog, or the article Susie Bubble wrote.  Her pieces are fun and youthful, and brought to mind that necklace I couldn't find from last Winter's Swarovski X Aldo collaboration:

These neon rubber confections are as rave-worthy as glowsticks, lollipops, and LED belly-button rings.
If you're not the trance-dance type, then consider them artful statement pieces that elevate a plain white T.


Blandine Bardeau necklace, anything but Bland.



DIY supplies: look for beading laces, fishing line, rubber craft laces, etc... 

Group them together, string a few beads here and there, and then coil and loop until you're content.  No Masters in Contemporary Design required (although 4-H camp friendship bracelet skills help!).
