Europe’s worst retro interiors are cute

By Olga Davydova

Posted 26 November, 2007 in Other Crazy Things

Live Journal user deer_bones has posted Europe’s worst retro interiors to the LJ community saucydwellings. Some of these amazing Eurobad interiors are quite cute, in a garish way, but still cute, just look at the sleepy eyes of that furry furniture!

It must be really nice to have a horse in the kitchen too, just for the smell.

Kawaii Companies Go Louis Vuitton

By Olga Davydova

Posted 8 November, 2007 in Kawaii, Cute Beat, Loony Accessories

Strange enough, but it seems that the Louis Vuitton craze has hit leading Japanese kawaii companies like Sanrio and San-X too. They have both released character merchandise that looks like a parody of the world’s most copied fashion brand. See for yourself:

San-X has designed a new Rilakkuma line of accessories reminiscent of Louis Vuitton Monogram Multicolore (created by fellow Japanese artist Takashi Murakami).

Sanrio reminded everyone of Louis Vuitton Damier line releasing chequered Badtz-Maru handbags and diaries. The only difference is that the pattern on the items is black and not brown like that of LV.

Now, this is pretty weird, but I like their sense or humour. And what do you think?

Christian Louboutin smiling fish shoes

By Olga Davydova

Posted 4 October, 2007 in Scary Shoes

Fashionably Cute’s dear friend and awesome jewelry designer Wendy Brandes is obsessed with these stunning fish shoes by Christian Louboutin.

They are indeed impressive, but I wonder what’s so attractive about them? Maybe their hot shade of green? Or the charming smile adorning the wearer’s toes? Anyway, Wendy likes them so much that she has even embarked on a much more mind boggling quest for a pair of Louboutins than Link for Princess Zelda! The problem is that they don’t sell these spectacular peeptoes in her size.

On her quest she fights trolls, golems and leather-clad, chain-wielding skeletons with flaming skulls finds all kinds of irrelevant information, but not a single pair of her dream heels.

However, I’ve found a much more luxurious pair of shoes, made of all natural materials and possessing almost the same characteristics as Christian Louboutin carp peeptoes, sans the heels. It’s Little Mice Valenki. Highly recommended!

Hello Kitty Wedding Rings

By Olga Davydova

Posted 25 September, 2007 in Kawaii, Loony Accessories

Now this is pretty crazy! If you love Hello Kitty so much that you’d like to turn your big day into an advertisement for this kawaii character then go ahead and buy these platinum wedding bands (versions for bride and groom are available) with Hello Kitty’s adorable face and the word Sanrio engraved on them. The rings can be customized to have the couple’s initials and the date of the wedding engraved on them too.

Just remember, you’ll be carrying this tiny “ad” on your wedding finger for life, or if you’re less lucky, for quite a long while. I think this is rather creepy.

More London Fashion Week: Gareth Pugh

By Olga Davydova

Fashionably Cute continues to cover London Fashion Week

Gareth Pugh is one of the most surreal designers out there. The stuff he does is so unbelievably wacky and often cute that he’s a firm favorite of Fashionably Cute’s blog, although you’d never ever see me wearing any of his creations.

New York Fashion Week, day 6, Cute and Wacky Highlights: Marc Jacobs

By Olga Davydova

Posted 11 September, 2007 in Sizzling Cute, Fashion, Creepy Runway, Trends

The new collection by Marc Jacobs had all that it takes to get an entry ticket into our Wacky Fashion section: asymmetrical cuts, party hats, hats shaped like large bows or bitten apples, necklaces shaped like giant bees, clutches with enormous fringe, clutches decorated with frogs, colorblock patterns looking like underwear, shoe heels parallel to the floor. Not to mention that the crazy collection was shown backward, in the beginning Marc walked out of the set to bow, then the models appeared showing off the looks from the last one to the first one.

The best, wackiest and the cutest item of the entire fashion week has to be his see through tote bag with a smaller clutch bag attached to its side like an applique. Just look at it and admire. It’s perfect!

Victorian Pig Doll

By Olga Davydova

Posted 10 September, 2007 in Other Crazy Things, Cute Beat

Some doll enthusiasts may remember Peteena, the wacky vintage fashion doll with a human body and a poodle head.

Korean company Elfdoll together with an awesome pig artist Charles Stephan have gone even further producing a very limited (only 100 pieces) and quite expensive BJD (ball jointed collectible doll) called Alice Cherry Blossom, with a pig head, dressed in stylish and detailed Gothic Lolita costumes (in fact, it looks as if it’s been dressed by Ralph Lauren, no less). By the way, the doll has a pig/human blody, it’s got a tiny curled tail.

The piglet’s face is rather realistic, but it’s incredibly cute!!! Just look at that sweet expression! The doll is to be released in October.

Christian Louboutin makes a hairy handbag

By Olga Davydova

Posted 19 July, 2007 in Loony Accessories

Christian Louboutin is best known for making gorgeous shoes. As for handbags… this wild and hairy example scares me. When I look at it I have a feeling it’s going to jump up and run away into the woods. I just hope it doesn’t bite. If you’re not terrified, then this Ewok handbag is available for adoption at Saks for a fee of $1695.
