So my obsession with sweets does not stop at eating them.  In fact, this is more of an infatuation.  The hours I spend watching tutorials on how to bake and decorate cakes is not something I care to share with most people.  As I scroll through my instagram in the wee hours of the night, I stumble across one of the most inspiring ladies of our time.  Amirah Kassem whose company Flour Shop seems to have caught the fashion industry by storm.  She bakes cakes, cookies, and other sweets for all of the chic fashion parties and events around town.  She basically has my dream job.  The way she has infused fashion and cake is something so refreshing and modern, it seriously leaves me contemplating whether my cake baking/decorating hobby needs to become my career.  Of course I slow my roll and stick with the Jewels for now!  Here is Amirah “tasting the rainbow” with deliciously cute nonpareils on her lips hovering proudly over her rainbow layer cake!  I chose baking as the kick off for this post because the way the “rainbow” has affected fashion and in turn, jewelry, just looks so TASTEEEEE!!!!!  Here are some amazingly delicious finds for how to wear your rainbow!!!

Thankfully, EMO did not stop at Jimmy Eat World and Sunny Day real estate in the early 90’s.  It has taken on another form and more recently entered the world of Jewelry in the form of “emoticons”.  Here are some of my favorite out takes from EMO or “emoticon” jewelry.

When it comes to Jewelry, is it clear that we would like to share our emotions with the Universe.  This trend (that has been around for a while but really took off with the birth of Alison Lou Jewelry) seems like it is here to stay.  Take a look at some of my faves.

(Just in case you were born in the 90’s, EMO definition provided below!)
