I love the dresses from Karen Millen, but they’re all just a bit too expensive for my tastes. Still I love the designs; the dresses look so modern, sleek and pretty. This geometric dress is a bit unusual, but I love the combination of the print and the black and white panels:

You can get it on the Karen Millen website for £160. As I said before, it’s a bit too pricey for my tastes (I won’t spend more than £60 on a dress, unless it’s for a very good reason), but it’s so gorgeous and fits my style exactly!

Karen Millen also has a couple of other dress that I think would suit me. Here’s a tweed dress with cool panelling on the front (for £190):

I also like this colourblock knit dress with a zipper at the shoulder (for £125):

What do you think of the dresses? Would you buy them?

I’m not really much of a Lord of The Rings fan and I’m not excited for The Hobbit at all, but this video from Air New Zealand and WETA is pretty cool:

Did you recognize Peter Jackson? There are also some other cameos in the video, like the grandsons of Tolkien, but I have a feeling I’m not recognizing some of the more obvious ones.

I love geeky jewellery. I’ve been slowly building my collection of geeky yet pretty necklaces, but still don’t own any geeky rings or earrings (unless you count an ankh as geeky, which in this case it sort of might be since it comes from my teen obsession with Egyptian mythology and history).

Anyways, this Kickstarter project looks great and shall hopefully find a place in my geeky jewellery collection: Dice Rings! They’re spinner rings where an outer smaller ring spins in a grooved inner ring. I’ve seen these before but never with dice featured on them. So handy!

They are several type of pledges:

• $40 Gambler: 3 rings (rCards, r%, 2r6),  any size or available color.

• $90 Classic Player: 7 rings (r4, r6, r8, r10, r12, r20 and r%), any size or available color.
• $130 Game Master: Your pick of any 10 rings, any size or available color.
• $1000 Hands of Royalty: You will be their hand model. You’ll get every type of ring, but you’ll need to take photos.

What do you think of the Dice Rings? Cool or too geeky?
