Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland





I love Tim Burton films as they are so visually enchanting but i have never been more excited to see the initial pictures of the characters for his 2010 Alice In Wonderland film. Everyone loves Depp (playing the Mad Hatter) for all sorts of reasons but i am even more excited to see a cast which includes but not limited to, Alan Rickman, Stephan Fry, Crispen Glover (hope he plays a sinister role) and the adorable (as Tweedledum and Tweedledee) if not slightly warped, Matt Lucas. Of course Helena is The Red Queen of Hearts.
With Where the Wild Things Are and Alice coming out expect to relive your childhood in "the most peculiar of ways"..
Out 11 March 2010 Australia

It's raining men's fashion


Men's Fashion week in Milian is proving very interesting. 
One of the more colourful shows came from Dsquared who played out an all American camp out! No pun intended.
My favourite by far for sheer theatrics comes from Alexander McQueen. An amazing, if not slightly sinister collection of Jack the Ripper inspired dandy's swaggerd beneath London street-lamp lighted runway. 
Dolly Rockers may be launching a range of men's vintage pins later this year and i am feeling very inspired by these shows.
Everything's just dandy!

The Abandoned Princess part 2

Schon! (that's beautiful in German)

The Abandoned Princess


Just arrived from Paris into the Dolly Rockers studio are these beautiful vintage Rhinestone and crystal flower brooches. 
The colours and style are truly beautiful. Each will be made into necklaces, cuffs, earrings and rings for the new Dolly Rockers 2010 range due for release Aug 2009. It's still under consideration but i am thinking of calling the collection "The Abandoned Princess" - a beautiful Russian Princess has been abandoned from her castle - what does she take? Why her jewels of course.
From the markets of Paris more pieces will be arriving..watch this space.

Why are we obsessed with "statement" jewellery?




Ok, maybe its only a fashionista obsession but to be honest the love of all accessories that are bold and a little bit over the top is becoming very popular with women of all ages (and some men too).
A statement necklace (like the ones on DollyRockers.com.au) can completely change the look of ones outfit. Reworn again and again, statement jewellery is very economical way of updating last seasons fashion outfit. Best of all statement jewellery can be a very personal way of accessorising your look. Express your personality through your jewellery choice.
On a personal note i love it when Dolly Rockers customers choose our handcrafted pieces that are true "statement" items..necklaces that you boyfriend may wonder what you have wrapped around your neck, rings that could act as a weapon and cuffs that express your individuality to the hilt. As Maddy once said.."Express yourself".
