Teacups & Couture A Fashion Blog by Roxanna Bina
Alter Ego jewelry takes vintage toys, aka ‘toys that you banished to Sal’s boutique when you turned 12’ and makes them into jewelry with prices that make you go ‘b*tch please’. Seriously, they are really cool stuff, but with a drill bit, beads and some elastic found in your crafting box (don’t we all have a crafting box?) you, too, can make these quirky jewelry. I discovered this company at Comic-Con this year and they wouldn’t let me take photos of any of their jewelry. So, weird because it’s a convention and everyone is taking photos of anything and everything. That kinda got me annoyed and its too bad because the jewelry they had on display was waaaay better than what is on their website now. Anywho, check out their site for toys ranging from Batman to Marvin the Martian. This totally reminds me of my Tarina Tarantino x Kidrobot Munny necklace seen here.
