Down the Rabbit Hole.

Tom Binns Collection

A eurotrash girl is probably the last one to jump on the bandwagon when it comes to popular culture. She's always either too early or too late: she wore massive faceshields when sunglasses were still in their functional Oakley phase; she started reading Twilight the book after having rented Twilight the movie.

So blah blah blah, Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland is right on time even though the entire narrative is propelled by a skittish white rabbit who is perpetually running late for a tea party that is doomed to carry on ad infinitum. If life were like Carroll's wonderland, Alice would be a eurotrash girl. She's curiouser. She constantly stops to have tea with surreal characters and all of a sudden, inexplicably, becomes a VIP who is best friends with the Queen. What else should transpire on a lazy summer afternoon?

"Macche' importa se e` finita, cosa importa se era la mia vita o no. Ciò che conta e` che sia stata una fantastica giornata morbida" - Vasco Rossi, Una splendida giornata: the eurotrash anthem for those Alice in Wonderland days.

But enough with the intellectual reference game. What i really meant to blog about today is my new obsession spawned from this Carroll revival: Alice in Wonderland jewellery pieces. Big name designers like Tom Binns, Stella McCartney and Swarovski have unveiled collections under the auspices of the Cheshire Cat.

These are all OK and will probably be donned by those girls who must have. Instead, what eurotrash is seeking are the one-of-a-kind, handmade pieces she stumbled upon at Etsy.com; a bit more recherche', tres affordable and won't make you look like you belong with the latter half of the tweedle twins. Eurotrash chooses a bright charm bracelet with vintage touches to wear with a simple white t-shirt, a summer tan and lots of pale pink lip gloss.
