YOUR DAILY UNDERWEAR: Erickson Beamon

What brought this on was that earlier I was looking though the Spring edition of Elle Accessories and on every jewelry page an Erickson Beamon piece caught my eye. Like no other pieces, just those, on ten pages or something. So here it is:
Karen Erickson and Vicki Beamon are really interesting because they don't have this one look that they consistently create like most designers (most designers will have their one idea and then add a concept or two or some theme for a collection). Instead they do this thing where they do have their touch but experiment with so many looks that a lot of the time the stuff is totally not recognizable and you would just never guess it was them.
For example here is their old-lady-with-a-brooch style:
it is interesting and different but that is the general idea...
compared to their boho stuff (which i prefer..):
i love these because they're boho-gypsy-native-american in a really non-offensive/-pathetic way--like if you are the kind of person who wears really effing expensive clothes and 3 million hundred thousand dollar bags etc and then you're in mexico (true story) and you find these made-on-the-street, one-dollar-a-pair fantastic earrings and they are just great, well then fine that's cool (yes, yes) but it's also a little bit dishonest and a little bit not frank. i mean it's like you're wearing these "exotic" earrings which you think are cool because they are so cheap and great and made on the street.. but that's not who you are, really..
I just think there is something so frank and straight up about these--they aren't diamonds and glitz and "rich" style; they are glamorized folky things made for a certain lifestyle where folky things have to be glamorized. so fabulous..
i found these too which are really cute (and again--totally different from the other designs):
again they're so funny because looking at them like this i sort of feel the urge to buy them for my little sister who just turned 12...but when you zoom in a bit they scream EVEN THOUGH I AM TEN AND I COULD GO TO CLAIRE'S AND BUY STUPID BUTTERFLIES FOR 2 AND A HALF BUCKS I WANT TO BUY THESE BECAUSE I AM RICH. and it's sort of nice and (again, i know) honest and sweet.
plllleeease eat the dump
