Have yourself a monstrous little Christmas!

Lady Gaga wore a Chanel dress specially designed by Karl Lagerfeld for the Gaga’s Workshop Ribbon Cutting at Barneys New York. The sketch by Karl Lagerfeld, of course.

Gaga's Workshop at Barneys New York is officially open!! Yes.. she took over the entire fifth floor! The merchandise range in price from $6 for candy to a one-off pair of Gaga shoes for $4,100. Thankfully, Barney’s will donate 25 percent of all the sales to the Born This Way Foundation, founded by Lady Gaga and her mother. The foundation will focus on youth empowerment by building self-confidence, fighting bullying, mentoring and career development. I think that is awesome!

Tom Binns Alice in Wonderland

I often say that jewelry has an amazing power when it's time to sparks an outfit missing that "je ne sais quoi"! Famous jewelry designer Tom Binns would surely agree with me on that one!

Some of his One of a kind vintage pieces can go for as much as $50 000!!!

Thankfully, his prices are a little more affordable for his latest obsession with the movie Alice in Wonderland. I must see the magic of Tim Burton on big screen! From the outrageous costumes, to the makeup and the really stunning Johnny Depp!

Here are some of my favorites jewelry pieces inspired by the movie from many jewelry designers. A fabulous mixture of cuteness, childhood fantasies and truly a visual orgy for my eyes!
