So, while others go for the jewel-encrusted look, we can make a bold statement with one big stone. Check out this awesome vintage, black glass ring from Elisa Shere Jewelry:

Magazines Snuggling Up To Plussies

Well, as long as it's the perfectly glorious plus-size model Crystal Renn. Still, we like to think the Australian edition of Harper's Bazaar is gave a nod to all full-figure gals over the Summer with its sexy spread of Renn in see-thru lingerie, form-fitting dresses, and bustiers. It was all the vision of stylist Wayne Gross who admits the shoot was 80s-inspired.



Renn was also recently featured in a Glamour magazine swimsuit layout by famous photographer Patrick Demarchelier. (See more pics at Jezebel.com )




Renn's book about her experience in the fashion industry will be out this Fall. She started out as a model suffering from anorexia, but eventually relaunched herself as a plus-size model. Since then, she has posed for French Vogue and Italian Vogue. She has also walked the runway for Jean-Paul Gaultier, Heatherette, and Vena Cava. See more of her Harper's spread at Refinery29.com

Black Gowns for Goth Brides

What the heck is this doing on my punk, goth, emo, steam fashion blog??? Well even if you're not tying the knot anytime soon, you have to admit this is pretty darned interesting. You see, until very recently, the black wedding dress was thought to be an over-hyped trend by Parisian designers. But now more and more designers are sending black wedding gowns down the runway in their new collections.
If you decide to stick with a white gowns, like most brides, you still have fantastic options. Lots of goth and indie brides have already found ways to incorporate black into their ensembles with accessories like black gloves, sash or millinery.
