Baby, your stars shine bright.

Another “Jem” of a post from our fantastical guest-blogger, Sarah. Pure love.

Perhaps it’s way-layed delirium since I have spent the last several days in feverish, food-lacking seclusion due to some horrible mystery illness - but I when I saw this photo on thecobrasnake, I could not stop looking at those (I presume, though I can’t seem to find reference to them on official sites) YSL earrings:

I found myself aching for a pair. And accessories this large are so very not me. Still, I have to hand it to Stefano Pilati for the Yves Saint Laurent s/s 08 collection. It is one of the first I’ve seen with such a modern and synthetic feel with which I am completely smitten. In general, I tend to favor things with a more hand-crafted, vintage-y feel - but there’s something both wearable and over-the-top encompassed in these simple garments and outrageous accoutrement:

And perhaps that is just it - no matter how I try, I cannot conjure-up a clever way to DIY this collection. I guess I’ll just have to desperately seek knock-offs in the meantime. I suppose I always did want to be a bit more like Jem.

they are lovely, really! I just think they maybe a little to trendy and at any moment they will be popping up at Claire’s (maybe it’s that they are slightly mirrored). But, I DO have a stick up my butt and they’re not meant to be worn by girls like me.

those earrings are so rad. what a great statement. if you are strapped for cash, i bet you could find similar ones at a shop like Girl Props for like $10.
hope you are feeling better, my dear!

Don’t worry, you are not alone, i ADORE those stars and Im not too sure why. They are so colourful and shiny, but not tacky, and that is hard to do with that kind of mix, but i can completly relate for your YSL star craving
Hope you are feeling A LOT better. Your blog is very cute
