More kawaii from Wendy Brandes

By Olga Davydova

Posted 8 October, 2007 in Food Fun, Inspiration

Fashionably Cute’s friend, tremendous jewelry designer and scary fish shaped shoe lover Wendy Brandes has revealed herself as a huge kawaii fan. She has demonstrated a great ability of finding adorable stuff online, so I’m even going to offer her the ultra-prestigious position of contributing editor at Fashionably Cute! Just look at her recent discoveries:

Hamster pizza

Farm animal shaped cookies

Wendy has also designed a cute baby wolf necklace.

Well, of course, this necklace is supposed to look like a grown-up fang shaped wolf, but due to my kawaii loving nature I’d like to think it’s a tiny puppy swaddled in a blanket, such as this (even though it’s a baby wombat)…

…or this:

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.

Wendy Brandes Jewelry

By Olga Davydova

Posted 14 September, 2007 in Cute Choice

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

She meets her many friends there and enjoys chatting with them. Rebecca loves flowers and ribbons, and accessories of all sorts. She has so many, too, for all of her weekend parties and picnics.
But what she loves most are candied bonbons. in fact, She loves bonbons so much that she came to be known and loved by all as Rebeccabonbon.
