Alumni Sunday: Midnight Studder Stack Rings by TOMTOM
We love the way that, worn on its on, this three-stud bronze ring toughens up anything you wear with it and how—all by itself—a little strip of blue zirconia can really bring it on the color front. But what we’re really sweating is the look of these two TOMTOM suckers stacked—slim and chunky, glam and bold, and rad through and through. —erica

+ On the top L.A. spots to see and score mid-century goodness.

For spring, Tomtom is working it. WERK. ING. IT. Dare someone to wear that spike-and-crystal necklace to an awards show. Megan Fox? Rooney Mara? Call dibs. —erica

Dog Fancy: Four Pups That Have Way Better Style Than We Do
One of the Of a Kind perks we didn’t necessarily anticipate: We encounter a lot of cool-ass dogs when we visit designers’ studios. So we’re going to introduce you to four right now, and we trust that you won’t get upset with us if we do a round two someday soon. Because, PUPPIES!!! —jiayi
1) Mandy Coon’s Petunia, whose street name is Stinky—here decked out in pajamas and a Mandy Coon houndstooth jacket and cashmere sweater. Stinky has credits in a music video—in which she wore, oh, a silver lamé cape—and in Mandy’s S/S ‘11 lookbook shoot. MAJOR.
2) Erica Weiner’s dog Bunny, a five-pound Yorkie who’s a pro at steering attention his way (see: nudging iPhones out of hands, closing books). His first gift would have been any girl/tranny’s dream: a red sequin ballerina dress.
3) Lest you think we were only going to feature TOMTOM designer Elena Coleman Howell’s cat, meet her dog, Duck, clad in her two favorite pieces: A Snoop-channeling navy hoodie and a post-groomers handkerchief. To both we say: bad-ass.
4) It’s been nine months since we last wrote about Ellen Van Dusen’s pup Snips—named after a pair of thread-cutting scissors—and, as the designer puts it, Snips has become a “full grown dog-woman.” Here, she models a bow tie Ellen made for her from fabric that will make its appearance on a Dusen Dusen backpack any day now.

Back when Erica used to work at Details, she worked on this thing called “Fashion Three-Way.” She wants you to know that it was a way more complex editorial concept than what I orchestrated in the above photo, but I’m going to go ahead and title this image TOMTOM Three-Way anyway (sorry, E).
All of which is to say: Did you realize our Misfire Ring by TOMTOM looks fly no matter what side you wear it on? Front, back, OR middle? Now you do. Three possibilities for fantastic finger happenings. —claire
*Fun Fact: The dude featured in the Fashion Three-Way that I linked to above is also the dude responsible for introducing Erica and me in 2006.

If you were a superhero, this TOMTOM ring would be your secret weapon: When directed at an evildoer’s eyes, it would immobilize him by releasing intense, flashing laser beams—or at least that’s how I imagine it would work. But as a normal-ish person of above-average powers, this adjustable wonder (plated with 18-karat gold) is a pretty awesome accessory to have in your arsenal, too. —erica

This shapely—or, as the designer would say, apple-bottomed—cat Tomato is the TOMTOM designer Elena Coleman Howell’s muse. Obviously you’re going to want to read more about that over here. I mean, duh. —erica

When one of the dystopian young-adult novels I love finally gets made into a movie starring Elle Fanning, I seriously hope that TOMTOM is involved with the costuming. —erica
