Creature-inspired Bling

As I mentioned in a previous post, animals and cute little critters are seen on everything lately. Here I am again with some more, but now let's zoom in on jewelry. First up is Parisian brand Kenzo and it's now ubiquitous tiger found on sweatshirts sported by bloggers the world over (cemented by the fact that you can find it on this tumblr page aptly named shit bloggers wear). The sweatshirt is probably sold out everywhere by now but if you want a piece of that Kenzo tiger, you can still get it with this cool enameled silver necklace.

   

So obviously, our good jungle friend the tiger is quite on trend at the moment. Here's another fierce tiger bling, a gold-plated enameled cuff by Kenneth Jay Lane also found on net-a-porter.

Let's now move on to smaller kitties. New York-based Catbird's Lovecats stacking rings are so cute. Topshop also has a cat midi ring, yup, it's quite a big trend having rings halfway down your fingers.

Finally, don't hate on creepy crawlies and just imagine how amazing they would look on your tops and dresses with these neck pieces.

A high street version of these bug necklaces is this one from Spanish retailer, and one of Inditex's brands, Pull and Bear.
