Fashionista Crew,

I found this in People's Style Magazine for this month. When I went onto the Kitson website they still didn't have it up and couldn't find it at any other website so I took a pic of the magazine picture. Thought it was interesting that someone was already copying the necklace when it's not even out yet, and neither is the copy!

Ok, Thanks,
Katie

Dear Katie,

We can't believe it either, especially since the copy is terrible and the original is worth a trip to Tahiti.

Thanks,
Fashionista

The original is great, the copy...not so much.
I can't help thinking that with either of them, I might slit a jugular...

The copy is so sad. It looks like a child's Mother's Day craft. The original, well. How does it manage to be completely now and still wreak of Rainbow Bright nostalgia? I am so freakin' in love with Stefano Pilati.

I agree with PJH, the original is very Rainbow Brite (in a GOOD way!) but looks mighty painful, like I'd have to wear a protective layer of band-aids underneath it for protection!! It's still purdy though, and what girl doesn't love purdy albeit slightly painful things??!!

Didn't Fashionista do DIY on this with ice cream cone pieces? That was cute... I don't covet the original. What is it made out of to be worth a trip to Tahiti?
