Appetising Accessories

It's common knowledge that the fashion industry reveres the size 0 lifestyle - but what of our favourite sweet treats? Is there room in the fashion world for donuts, jelly beans and gummy bears? "Statement Pieces" may have found a way... Now before we get slaughtered by hungry fashionista's, let me point out that it involves consuming absolutely zero calories, but, gains countless style cred.

I'm talking about Australian brand "Jelly's Edible Wearable's", which (despite the kitsch name) contain some quirky statement pieces that are bound to put a smile on your face. When asked about the collection, the designer stated, "By using recognizable, childhood candy I hope to evoke a nostalgic feeling within the wearer. I'm inspired by the memory of lollies making things ''better'' as a kid and through making these lolly wearables permanent - I hope to preserve that link to these happy memories." This goal is certainly achieved through this collection.

"Statement Pieces" favourites include, the "Sprinkle Heart Jar Necklace"
($27 + P&H), the "Small Donut Brooch" ($40 + P&H), the "Jellybean Hair Clip" ($22 + P&H) and the "Love Heart Ring" ($22 + P&H). Each delightfully sweet piece is hand made. We recommend teaming them with casual T's, and jeans combo's (and why not dust off those converse's?). The look you're hoping to achieve is fun, flirty and laid-back - by wearing accessories like these you're inviting people to comment on their past and to connect with you - they're real conversation starters. Our only rule - if they make you hungry go out and buy the real thing, these ones are NOT edible!!!
