'John Wayne ain't got nothing on my fringe game'

Or in this case Fringe and Pompom game. I literally cant even deal. Some may say that my collection is actually getting out of control but I disagree. As far as I am aware there is no such thing as too much fringe in your wardrobe. Even as I sit here writing this post I find myself trawling the internet for new suede fringe bags and accidentally bought one - see River Island black fringe tote below. (It was on sale, how could I not?) One of my first ever online purchases was a black double layer fringe bag that I got off Ebay for something like $18 dollars. I hadn't really shopped online before and was so excited when I received this goody in the mail. It was such a classic timeless piece to add to my wardrobe and even now they are still selling similar styles at places like H&M. Definitely a highlight of my fringing career. 

River Island Aztec Fringe Tote

Although when I originally bought that bag I was definitely going through a very grunge 90s faze I still think fringe can be worn in a classy way throughout most fashion genres. The River Island Aztec print tote is my absolute favourite bag to date. A grunge carpet bag with suede fringe and studs, what more could you possibly ask for. There is something about a huge bag that you can just throw comfortably over your shoulder that is a big winner.

I love a bit of DIY because a lot of the time when shopping I often see some earrings and accessories with tassels and pompoms and I think 'I could make that myself'. You will definitely save yourself some money as well. For example, I was watching a crafty christmas special on pay TV just before christmas last year and the lady was using this magical thing called a pom pom maker. Often when I think of making pom-poms (and yes I think of this often) it always looks like so much effort and time involved for a quite unpredictable outcome. So of course after seeing this I jumped online in a frantic search for them. It seems that they are not sold in Australia and I had to order them from a site in the UK. And guess what. They have finally arrived and are just about the greatest things ever.

I don't think my obsession for Fringe and Pompoms is going to end anytime soon. So for now I will just keep learning little tricks as to how to create my own unique pieces (like these earrings below) and hopefully share them with you in the weeks to come!
