KidViskous gold "Ew" bubble necklace.

If you didn’t get to see our Audrey It-Girl profile on Tiffany Lee (Summer 2009), the mastermind behind KidViskous, you are seriously missing out on a major fashion force.

KidViskous gold "Ew" bubble necklace.

Influenced by her love of music (past pieces were inspired by the likes of M.I.A., Daft Punk and Yelle), Tiffany is a bit of a chameleon herself. “I kind of get into everything,” she says of her myriad fashion looks. “Tomboy, Lagerfeld black tie, girly, futuristic couture, Victorian, London street walker.” That means on any given day, you’ll see Tiffany in anything from bow ties to thigh highs.

I first discovered KidViskous a few years ago when Tiffany was creating mirrored Lucite necklaces of origami cranes and crest lions. (I wore them layered all the time.)

And every season, Tiffany ups the ante, keeping the mirrored Lucite look that I love, but updating with too-cool graphic pieces. Like last year’s architectural grid earrings (which I wear all the time) and the diamond silhouette charm bracelet.

Right now, I’m coveting her mirrored gold Lucite “Ew” word bubble necklace. It’s a word we say often here in the Audrey office. It’s one of the first words my niece learned how to say, too. Wear it with one of spring’s floral dresses and Doc Marten boots for a perfectly ironic statement.

Which is why I take not a small amount of pleasure in the slightly dark,self-deprecatingly humorous side of the holiday.

I like to think of these Valentine’s-themed accessories as the equivalent of crooning Kelly Clarkson’s “My Life Would Suck Without You” to your loved one.

Like Tiffany Lee‘s graphic nod to Valentine’s for her accessories line KidViskous. The bleeding heart would look really cool pinned on a cardigan and boyfriend jeans. Continue Reading »
