Resin roses meet chunky gold chain in the neckpieces and brooches of Sydney-based and Tokyo-influenced design duo Make Believe, whose work we hear is now exclusively available in the good ‘ole US of A at Russian Hill boutique Tedda Hughes.

At upwards of $250 a pop, these adornments aren’t cheap, but their intricate construction and 80′s rapper-meets-Harajuku Lolita ethos make us stop and stare – in a good way.

No shrinking violets here.

Another place you’ll find nary a shrinking violet? At Tedda Hughes on Friday, where a Black Friday sale and happy hour begins unraveling itself circa noon-o-clock.

Won’t you join?

The detes are below:

There’s a cool little photography exhibit showcasing Harajuku kids in Tokyo on display this month at the Consulate General of Japan in San Francisco on Fremont. If you love independent-minded fashion, this Japanese phenomenon is about as indie as you can get.

For the details on the show, check out Lorraine’s Harajuku Fashion on Display post on the 7×7 Glamwatch blog today.
