BEAUTY: Ceramics--Cecil Kemperink

The gorgeous ombré linked chain sets of sculptor Cecil Kemperink are made of ceramic! Stunning! I especially love the rust colors, the seaweed colors, and the sky/water colors. It makes sense since Kemperink is based on the island of Texel in the Netherlands and naturally draws inspiration from the surrounding sea and its elements.

BEAUTY: Clothing--Lederhosen

Since Oktoberfest starts today, September 20, 2014, let's honor the traditional, oft-maligned Bavarian lederhosen. There is something dashing and exotic about these leather shorts...an interesting combination of manly, animal erotic sexiness and country naiveté. Works for me...

Robert Downey Jr. sported lederhosen to the premiere of "Iron Man 3."

He even wore them with a charivari, the traditional chain of Bavarian hunter charms! Look at these gorgeous examples below!
