The obsession continues:

Diamonds and emeralds in a platinum and gold setting.  Looks like maybe ruby eyes, but the listing doesn’t mention them.  And it’s nearly my ring size — must be fate!

I can’t help but love octopuses.  Octopi.  Whichever you prefer.  It’s hard not to be fascinated by such a strange, smart, tough creature, and it seems a lot of people are fans (check out some of Miss Monster’s popular tentacle stuff!).

Here are a few little octopus baubles that have caught my eye:

‘BIZARRE’?  Nay, I think you meant ‘AWESOME.’

I was looking for something else and happened across this:

I love enamel jewelry, and this piece is certainly unique.  It’s a bit out of my price range, but it reminds me of a brooch that I bought a couple years ago in a Soho accessory store:

Funny, $40 seemed a little pricey at the time, but I had to have it.  I used to wear it on a fuschia wool winter coat, but now that my winter coats spend most of the year in a closet, it adorns a handbag:

I am fascinated by these shoes:

I had never heard of this brand until I stumbled across them on Whorange.  This style comes in a few other colors, but I like the blue because they make me think of Alice in Wonderland. I’d wear the heck out of them this spring with a simple summer dress and a little cardigan.
