Fashion Predictions from the 1930s

Now here's an interesting blast from the past.

Take a look at this fashion prediction from the 1930s and you'll notice a lot of these predictions have come true to some degree. While the hair and makeup are still very 1930s, the concepts have already been seen on the catwalk (not to mention a few red carpet appearances at the Academy Awards - think Halle Berry in that Elie Saab Gown in 2002).

I especially like their prediction for the man of the 21st century. Enjoy!

Trend Alert - Adjustable Sterling Silver Rings

This is for all the ladies out there that have thought "If only they had my size..." - I hear you loud and clear! 

With more and more designers hearing the call of the masses, adjustable rings have evolved with the use of new materials and quality designs. Oh no, adjustable rings are no longer for kids - Although I suspect you will feel as happy a kid in a lolly store when try these rings on for size(haha.. ahem... where was I?).

Back to the rings... To satisfy all the ring lovers out there, Mink Schmink are pleased to be presenting Avalon Silver's range of adjustable rings. Handcrafted from quality Sterling Silver, their adjustable bands are designed so that they don't pinch your fingers - it also looks like a normal ring when you put it on (I know, I know, that sounds impossible, but really you have to see them to understand - it's quite clever).

These 3 are just a few examples of the designs we have but as you can see, they could easily lift any outfit from drab to fab. Gotta love it!

Bella Bead Bracelets!

Wow, these bracelets are just gorgeous! The pictures just don't do them justice, so if you get a chance to pop in the store, try one on! This style of bracelet has been gainng in popularity over the years and there are several companies now producing them in as many colours and variations as you can think of.

Our Bella bracelets have a lovely toggle clasp and a mixture of lampwork beads and silver plated spacers. We have 6 different colourways: Aqua, Pink, Green, Pastels, Black and White, and Black and Gold.

At $42.50 each they are an affordable alternative to their high end sterling silver and gold counterparts, where the beads are bought separately from the chain (You can pay around $20+ for just one bead in some stores, so this is one bargain you don't want to miss).

These bracelets are moving fast - get in quick.

Cameo Appearances

Cameos are making a comeback this season, with a focus on retro styling and colour. The ones shown above have an extra long chain, so you can pair it up with any outfit - Plus they are also lockets! Don't you just love 'em?
