Teacups & Couture A Fashion Blog by Roxanna Bina

    In honor of Steve Jobs retiring and his contribution to mankind, I thought I should post stuff inspired by computers. Seriously, because geeks run the world whether you give them a wedgie and throw them in a locker or not. Beware, because they will hack your ass when …

    Check out Erik Bergrin’s really avant-guarde art. Mostly, it’s masks and hoods that are sure to make you crawl under your bed in fear. Like that leather half mask in the fourth photo… it looks like a melted Kardashian face! And that wooden mask in the third photo is great …

  One of my summer projects (besides trying to train Mr. MarMar & Ms. Coco to use the human toilet) was to build my 6 year old son a dream loft bed! I knew this would take lots of time and hardwork, but if it meant no more sidekicks to …

Check out those eight-inch, red-soled stilettos/pointe shoes by Christian Louboutin! They were made especially for the English National Ballet‘s fundraising auction, along with the black tutu dress at the bottom by Moschino. Other designers for the auction include Agent Provocateur and Julian MacDonald. I threw in some photos of Karl …

  I was really inspired by the Alexander McQueen Faberge handbag I saw at The Met a few months ago. Here is a photo of  it. Although it’s definitely not as intricate as the McQueen one, the one above that I made is surely less expensive and still gets the look …

Check out these Victorian-style necklaces from Mama’s Little Babies. My fave is, of course, the fishing kitty and kitty trio and the ‘pussy white’- awww, heck, I love them ALL! I have to say the reason why I love the Victorian era is the profuse use of BOWS! Seriously, even straight …

I love how Jean Paul recreates endlessly the corset and evening gown. My favorite is absolutely the peach corset gown in the second photo. It’s so beautiful, down to the yummy croissants around the hips and boobs. My son would love that. During the haute couture shows, we have seen …

Check out these cool, unique bags I found on Etsy! 1) Broundoor Sparrow bag– It’s a bag in the shape of a Sparrow-friend! So cool…. this is great for a stroll through the woods or something equally quaint like that. 2) Momento Mori Bag– Okay, this bag is super cool because from …
