At the weekend a super surprise parcel arrived at my door courtesy of the wonderful Giia whom I wrote about a wee while ago. Unknown to me she had wrapped up two of her new designs and posted them my way. Yay for surprises!!
When I opened the parcel I found to my utter delight a delicious grey hexagonal collar complete with rivets. It's simply astounding.
Random cropped vest/Giia neckpiece/vintage leather shorts/Christopher Kane for Topshop leggings/Martin Margiela boots
It actually took a while to realise that in the little red felt bag the neckpiece came in there was actually a second piece hiding! A beautiful red collar with felt jewels!
Black Milk leggings/Jean Pierre Braganza dress/Giia neckpiece/Carvela boots
Her new designs are plentiful if you have look through her shop. I adore the hexagonal shapes she's chosen to explore and obviously the rivets have my attention.
Thank you Giia!
Queen Michelle
The red neck piece looks like it was made just for the JPB dress -- stunning! (So are all the others!)

They're both glorious. Cannot BELIEVE how perfectly the red one matches your sumptuous dress!

The grey one is my favourite. I love the mixture of the hardware and the felt. I have to agree though, that red one was made for your dress!
Slightly off topic, is anyone else having problems displaying the main webpage? I get to a certain point where it is loading and then it says that the page can't be displayed! It's very odd. I have to stop it loading at a certain point, just so I can read it, and then see the pictures on the comments page!

Love these. They are so unique and playful. They make a real statement and I love how you've styled them. The red collar my fave I think.

I am especially loving that last neckpiece in green. It looks like geometric emeralds.

Clare I'm not having problems with the page loading but the wee photos next to the comments are a Typepad addition. I'm going to see if there is a way to turn them of as I find them annoying

Oh to be a Queen of the Kingdom and receive such tributes in the mail! The third pic is delightful. New tattoo is very rock'n'roll - Throbbing Gristle or David Bowie inspired?

You've styled those amazing neckpieces beautifully Queen Michelle.

Dave C, it wasn't really inspired by anything other than just an unrelenting love of a lightening bolt graphic. I've loved that shape for as long as I can remember really, so seemed like a good one to get.
She will happily exchange links with He.
