ring by Andrea & Joen
This agate ring was carved out of one single piece of rock.
All natural stone, not dyed or otherwise artificially manipulated.
Carved stone rings are supposed to be very comfortable and light weight.
I wanna rock one.

Dave said the other day he would love to design the engagement ring for his
one-day fiancee himself. He is a designer, so that would probably end up in a pretty fantastic piece of jewelry.
I saw that a lot of jewellery designers offer a bespoke service, which is really
cool if you have this stunning idea in your head and another plus is:
A ring like that will really be one of a kind.
Some girls do not think diamonds are their best friends. We are generally those sorts of girls. We don’t dismiss the humble rocks, we just think that jewelry can be pushed further than the boundaries of a single solitaire perched on a band. We’re very smart, you see. Ah, but see how smart we are when you swing this ring slowly in our line of vision. We drool, we covet, we get wobbly in the knees. Quote from Catbird NYC
Here are some awesome designers that could help you realise your ideas:
ORIA in London works with ethical sourced gold, silver and diamonds.
BITTERSWEETS in New York do rad custom designs as well.
Thomas Bartussek in Berlin is always open for new ideas!
And now: Go and get your sketchbook out!
For great inspiration go and check out the COOLEST selection of wedding and engagement rings in the whole world at Catbird NYC,
that East Side Bride introduced me to.
Last week we attended a rad wedding in a pub in East London.
The couple owns/manages a club in East London and decided to invite basically everyone, that has ever been a guest at the venue.
It was fantastic. The place was overly decorated with pink, flamingos, they had a candy buffett, and a really rockin live band.
Even if thats not my style at all, the atmosphere was great.
Candy and bourbon is a really great combination by the way.
Note to self: I have to have a candy buffet on my wedding!
Check out the more pics of this wedding on SAVOIR weddings.
DID I MENTION HOW MUCH I LOVE LONDON ?

The awesome designer and writer of the blog MADE IN ENGLAND,
just got engaged to his amazing girlfriend and blogger of MONSTER MUNCH.
But instead of giving her a diamond ring,
HE GAVE HER AN ENGAGEMENT GUITAR: Now that really literally rocks!
“Rather than get a diamond ring, which to be honest I think is probably the least interesting thing you can spend a lot of money on,
I got her a guitar instead!
Neither of us play guitar, so at first sight it seems quite a random choice.. But her maiden name is Gibson, same as the legendary guitar makers, so I thought I’d get her something to remind her of that when she becomes Mrs Cookie.
I wanted to get her a vintage Gibson (this sort of thing just gets better with age), preferably a 1977 model to match her birth year (and mine). “
Congratulations guys: You rock!

Ive just discovered the trailer for the upcoming story book adaptation of
WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE by Spike Jonze and I can’t stop watching it.
It just makes me happy. This could be the best movie of the year!
Why am I posting about a kids movie without any fashion or wedding theme?
I think this is a really healthy escape if you are stressing out about your wedding plans, or just anything that might be getting you uptight!
This movie is about LOVE, about friendship & about GREAT MUSIC
(soundtrack by ARCADE FIREas well as music in the feature by
Karen O from the YYY’s as well as Carter Burwell!))
Seeing all this MONSTERS just feels so so so very good in this polished fashion world.
I love the monsters, they are dirty, they are honest, they are weird,
they are blushless, they are cute in a rough way and they look like they really know how to party!
I wanna hang out with them NOW!
I often get the question if I, as a designer have any muses for my collections:
Yes! I do! This girls and their looks really inspire me!
Alison Mosshart, Cat Power, Charlotte Gainsbourg
Most of all I am inspired by movies and photographs, big cities and
the real people, stories from live, broken, dirty and all imperfect things.
This is the last post before Berlin Fashionweek.
Its very exciting for Blushless to present this collection
finally to the public.
I will busy during the next 4 days, but will be back in no time!
Meanwhile you can check out this amazing women and get
inspired…

Wouldn’t this be a great grooms outifit?
The black buttons on the shirt are a rad alternative to a tie.
I saw this picture in just relaunched magazine CITY.
Its all about the city, you know, the city Liv is missing every day…
They wrote a great article about the London indie rock band
CAZALS, this guys are just looking amazing in this photoshoot.
Just like rock star grooms.
Not only that the band has a great style, they also made this awesome
little lovestory video: HAPPY WEEKEND:

Liv loves the yeah yeah yeahs!
They inspire me a lot, remind me of how f*ing much I am missing
NYC and make my days over here rock!
Jumping through my studio….
High on caffeine (uhm,I am also hard working at the same time)
Oh yeah yeah yeah!
I wanna share this part of lyrics that really got me!
(when Lav told me it reminded him of us, uh,wow!)
Baby I’m afraid of a lot of things
but I aint scared of loving you
baby I know your afraid of a lot of things
but don’t be scared of love
cause people will say all kinds of things
that don’t mean a dam to me
cause all I see is what’s in front of me
and thats you
Well, I’ve been dragged all over the place
i’ve taken hits time just don’t erase
and baby I can see you’ve been fucked with too
but that don’t mean your loving days are through
cause people will say all kinds of things
that don’t mean a dam to me
cause all I see is what’s in front of me and thats you
well I may be just a fool
but I know you are just as cool
and cool kids they belong together
