Joy Follows Like A Shadow
The human need to adorn and decorate ourselves is long-standing and documented. Yet, as our society progresses and our advancement leads to less hard labor and more time thinking, the way we beautify gets conceptual. So, what will be the next jewelry trend? Shadows, perhaps?

I love the way your writings, your style is so unique... very inspiring...
Those pieces are crazy! I would totally wear any of the eye ones!
XOXO! love your blog!
I meant to say "I love the way you write".. sorry for my bad english.. haha! :D
ooh, this is very cool and innovative. really interesting idea! i love the cat shadow.
This is such a unique idea! I always hear makeup artists saying that they try to create shadows or contours to the face to slim it down, this does it for you naturally...haha...Very cool. Modern and refreshing.

That is so cool, thanks for sharing! I wonder if it will take hold?
Genius!
such a unique idea! love it! ^^
Interesting. It reminds me of art created to have shadows be a part of it. Like the shadow will complete the form.
These are cool.
These are beyond cool! There are a lot of things that are so magical I don't want them to go mainstream, but this I do, selfishly, so I can have one for myself. I love the eye collar.
So cool!
XoXo
That's so cool!!!!! I love it.
That's seriously the coolest thing I've seen in a while! I like your intro -- which reminds me of a current debate between my bf and I. He thinks clothes should only be about function. What do you think about that?
Totally mesmerizing. and eerie.
i have just found your blog and its really lovely! i enjoyed the hour by hour post you did earlier on about your travels.
and your dresses are super cute :)
I saw these the other day! very interesting. I do wonder how on earth would you actually wear one? seems ever so slightly impractical.
As I love cats,
I love it so much!!
Kisses and hugs friend!

Completely and utterly gorgeous. You always find the most unexpected accessories.

i must ask though, where do you find such amazing pictures?
These are amazing. I love the combination of delicate patterns with the strong geometric shapes.
Cool post!

Would you like to exchange links?
These are insanely amazing. That would be a pretty awesome jewelry trend, albeit quite impractical!
It is quite scary, as well as innovated....i am not sure if I ever wear any of this but still it is a very creative idea....
