Brightest Young Things

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!
