I’ve admired Man Repeller (a.k.a. Leandra Medine) for quite some time. Her blog contains a daring version of fashion that’s often inspired by menswear, and while it’s not generally a look I’m advanced enough to pull off, I like watching other people do it. Recently, Medine tried her hand at designing jewelry in collaboration with her friends at DANNIJO, and the resulting line, MR. DANNIJO (get it?) is pretty nifty. It contains some long-running MR obsessions (mustaches, bolo ties), as well as some fresh concepts from DANNIJO. Let’s take a look. More »

Excepting that metal loop, they’re totally edible. But why would you want to eat something so pretty?
