I’m preeeeetty much obsessed with Akemi Kanakazi’s jewelry line, Tasty and Freshness, (and last year, around this time, you all were preeeeeetty much obsessed with HER, remember?), and now she’s got a newly launched etsy shop so all you masses can have at it. Each of her pieces is made from about a billion individual, vintage jewelry parts and are just staggeringly amazing; I liken them to little COLLAGED FIREWORK EXPLOSIONS FOR YOUR NECK. I have a piece of hers that – when worn even two steps out of the house – elicits more Seething-But-Supportive-Girl-Envy and Can-I-Borrow-It’s than anything else I own. Period. So go before I buy them all up out of sheer, evil, Not-Wanting-You-To-Have-One-Spite. Seriously, go!

I desperately need one of these in my life.
(and of course the one I really, truly, deeply love is $115.)
