One of Fashionably Cute’s best blog friends and top commenters is Wendy Brandes. She is an awesome jewelry designer with a unique style. Currently she designs fine jewelry under the name Gigi Caron, but is soon to relaunch under her own name.

Some of her pieces are just very cute, like the strawberry above and the apple below.

Some are inspired by famous historical jewelry, like this Borgia Ring.

The original ring was owned by Lucretia Borgia, who was the daughter of a pope and a member of the powerful and influential Borgia family. The ring had a hidden compartment where she kept poison for her enemies. Wendy’s ring has this compartment too. Poison sold separately.

By the way, Wendy’s Borgia Ring was among the items that Britney Spears sort of borrowed from the set of an OK! photoshoot and later wore while frolicking in the pool with her assistant.

The designs are available online from Gigi Caron

I don’t know about you, but for me wearing Hello Kitty items is a lot of fun. I’ve got a scarf and a beanie hat with the character, lots of keyrings, cell phone straps, cell phone screen cleaners, make up pouches, not to mention note pads, pens, pencils, erasers, mugs, trinket boxes and dozens of collectible plushies.

However for Thai policemen sporting Hello Kitty paraphernalia is a really bad form of punishment for breaking the rules: being late, parking in wrong places, etc.

Although this is better than prison, the poor guys are too embarrassed to wear a special pink Sanrio armband for several days. Thai police officials say that the armband is designed to shame the wearer. They also mention that further offences would be dealt with using a “more traditional disciplinary panel”.

Duh! Of course, Hello Kitty arm bands are not traditional, they’re not even sold at Sanrio shops! My guess is that the next form of punishment would be writing out parking tickets with Hello Kitty pens on Hello Kitty paper, wearing pink uniform with the familiar face on their badges, driving pink Hello Kitty police cars and cooking their lunch on a Hello Kitty toaster.

What do you think? What other forms of punishment would you suggest? Who else should be punished by wearing Hello Kitty? Please leave your opinion in the comments to this post.

Christina, the amazing illustrator and doll clothing designer of Jamfancy and one of the creators of Gentle River Blythe made a trip to Japan for the annual Blythe Beauty Contest. Here’s what she found on the streets of Tokyo.

The photos are from her LJ blog. Obviously, this is a window of an establishment. Try to make a guess without clicking the link to Christina’s website, you don’t want to spoil the fun. The answer is right after the jump. Share your opinion in the comments please. (more…)

Imagine our planet being invaded by a bunch of friendly fashion loving aliens. The first thing they do is make Hermes Birkin bags easily accessible to anyone, eliminating the waiting list and putting a price tag of $150 on it, but keeping the quality, materials, technology and style absolutely the same. This is not the premise of Steven Spielberg’s new film, this is the subject of Fashionably Cute’s new poll:

Would you buy Hermes Birkin handbag for $150?



 Yes, I pray for it every day!

 No, I love it because it’s unattainable

 No, $150 is too much for this bag

 What’s a Birkin?

 No, I’d prefer a different bag

The creators of the cute Japanese puppy character RebeccaBonbon that I wrote about yesterday swear that she is a French Bulldog, however our reader Grady is sure that they are mistaken, saying French Bulldogs don’t have black bodies (although after looking at some French Bulldog photos I’m pretty convinced they do), and believes that Rebecca is a Boston Terrier.

Fashionably Cute has already introduced RebeccaBonbon. It’s a cute French Bulldog fashion character designed by the same artist who created the ultra famous Hello Kitty. Now you can own a piece of cuteness with RebeccaBonbon cell phone straps available at Strapya, a Japanese cell phone accessory superstore.

The straps are made of metal and decorated with gorgeous Swarovski rhinestones. They are about 2 inches in size and have a built in can opener, so you can open your drinks without worrying about your manicure. Currently two designs are available:

1. Heart shaped strap decoration with Rebecca’s face inside the heart, $26.74



2. Strap decoration shaped as a French Bulldog face with a flower on her head, $26.74

Hurry, because the supplies are very low at the moment. Strapya has very cheap, fast and easy shipping to the US and Europe by air mail or EMS express mail.

The gorgeous Rihanna shows off her latest cute purchase from Baby Phat.

It’s the Mirror Me Overnight Bag in silver, available from Baby Phat for $175.

The most important thing when sporting such a handbag is to avoid looking over the top. Rihanna is wearing all black, and that would look amazing together with the silver handbag.
