MR Crush on Rock'n'Rose... and presents for YOU
>> 8.10.09
Rock'n'Rose is the brainchild of Jessica and Emily Lathan. Created in 2007, it sums up their love for all things "classic, kitsch and quirky" to use their own words... Now I wouldn't call their creations "quirky" anymore, since there are so many independent boutiques and designers offering the same type of vintage inspired, or vintage based jewellery. It has become something of a classic really.
As I said, it is not exactly original or ground-breaking, but when I looked at their site, I actually saw a few things that would look good around my neck/wrist/finger/all of the above... so I did a little selection for you:
Wooden Robot brooches? Well don't mind if I do. Of course these would catch my eye!
These days, it is much better for me to have a tiny slice of plastic cake on my finger rather than a giant slice of real cake in my hand. They can both end up in my mouth, but one of them is safe. Safe Cake.
There is something really charming about wearing a flower around your neck for the Winter. Charming and comforting.
I liked these so much, I thought you guys should be able to wear them. So Emily kindly accepted to give one of each for you to win.
Up for grabs, are one Twinkle Stardust brooch, one Tea & Cake ring and one Winter Rose necklace.
To enter, just leave a comment below telling me which one you would like.
The competition closes Thursday 15th October at Midnight. I will announce the winner next week.
Good luck!

Hi MR
These are amazing! I would love the Winter Rose necklace - would go perfectly with this great vintage dress I got recently

This is not a slight on your blog MR, but I've seen this jewellery done sooo many times already, but better. There is no originality left.
As you said "it is not exactly original or ground-breaking" - so why feature it? The internet is full of original accessories designers who would jump at the chance to be featured in a fashion blog such as yours.
Aw, how sweet! Although it's really hard to choose between them all! I think I'd have to go with the cake ring though, to hopefully curb my real addiction for cake (or just fuel it, who knows!)

Anonymous - I feature it because despite it not being immensely original, I still think it is cute, and I want my readers to be able to get some cute free accessories.
I don't often wear stuff that's crazy avant-garde or ground breaking, in fact i very rarely do so. I like cute stuff.
As for featuring other designers, I only feature stuff I like, regardless of whether it is fashion forward or not.
I hope this answers your question somehow, thank you for your input, even though I would rather a non anonymous one!
All fabulous, but I've fallen for that red rose especially, so the Winter Rose gets my vote :)
I absolutely love the winter rose necklace in black. Perfect to match some of the more sombre tones I seem drawn to at winter time!
Heh, like everyone else, I love the rose necklace (in any colour!!! Particularly the dark red). It's so pretty.
At first I thought this post was on the Valentino perfume (which I wear!), Rock 'n' Rose.
They are all great, but the one I'd likely wear the most is the winter rose necklace in black!
Love them all and think the Robot brooch in the center would be perfect to jazz up my favorite pea coat. She reminds me of Rosie from The Jetsons!
Love your blog - xoxo
I'd love the robot brooch!!!
and I'm one or your followers on twitter!!!
Totes the robot on the left. He is sexy in a metallic kind of way!
Thanks MR!

Oh I love the big red rose necklace :)
I like cake.
I love the cake rings! And cake in general. :D
The robot brooch are awesome! Esp. the one on the right!
the winter rose necklace . . .
I'd love the Twinkle Stardust brooch! Anything with robots = WIN
Haha! Safe cake!? I need more of that.
Uhhh it's so hard to choose! I think my favourite would be the robots... I'd pin them on a cardigan to make my outfit a bit more interesting.
oh wow that winter rose is amazing, the red one is beautiful! x
I bought a scrabble ring off rock n rose last year - they do some really cute jewellery for reasonable prices i think! i'll have to check out this new stuff. i like the cake ring especially :)
I like the big red rose necklace, and the black one is pretty as well!
I adore the Winter Rose necklace. I'd love to win it - if not, I think I'd buy it. (Winning is always better for broke grad. students, however...)
<3
I adore the Twinkle Stardust brooch! I love the one on the far right, she reminds me of being 7 years old and watching Will Robinson save the day once again, lol!
I gave a love for the winter flower necklace. Its probably just me, but it reminds me alot of a lotus flower which automatically triggers the old(and new) amazing indian art work of their gods like Vishnu holding lotus flowers delicately- theres something quite magical about flowers, there powerful yet delicate. Sounds like my type of flower. x
By the way, i stopped my nail biting by buying a formula to put on my nails over nail polish (or not) which was VILE to taste XD
I love that robot brooch! :)

I loove that Winter Rose necklace. Going on my Christmas wish list :D
Ahh it's hard to choose between the cake and the rose necklace...but I think I like the rose necklace both. Already following you on Twitter and just followed them (declinedesigns). :)
I would really love any of the winter roses. The other stuff is cute, too, but I'm not sure I can pull off robots or cake!
How do I follow you on twitter?
Oh, I just love the pink winter rose necklace!

Woooo,I really love love all the items ! So so adorable!
But the one I really love is the winter rose necklace<3 <3 the details making it look so so real.
Already following you on twitter !
The red rose is absolutely gorgeous - DO WANT!!! =)
the winter rose in pink would be delightful!
Twinkle Stardust robot brooch, without a doubt! Just the right amount of geek plus the right amount of cute. Not to mention I usually wear flowery or spotty patterns so adding another flower might be overkill- but adding a robot would be plain awesome...
I'd LOVE the winter rose necklace in that gorgeous dark crimson shade.
It's so romantic with underlying tones of dark and has a fantasy element to it. Love it!
I follow both you and R'n'R on twitter!
Was nice meeting you @ FW btw!

The little robot brooches are my favourite! Its a lovely little shop, thanks for featuring them!
i was immediately drawn to the cake rings, they look so delicate and cute! i would want the one on the far right, with the chocolate icing. c:
I really like the red winter rose necklace, so I would like to have it!
Hello,
Gorgeous! would love a red or black flower necklace.
elizabeth
red rose necklace. absolutely this one is my number one :*)
i love red rose necklace :)
oh, I'd like the delicious red winter rose pretty please.
I'm also following you as @sugarsquid on twitter.
Robot brooch on the left. ROBOT BROOCH ON THE LEFT!!!!
I would love the winter rose necklace!
I would love to win the rose necklace. The red one is especially gorgeous <3
I don't need any jewellery (have fashion editor overload at home!), but just wanted to say: why can't people have the balls to use their name when being critical? I get a few anonymous critiques each week and it really annoys me that they can't (wo)man up and put their money where their mouth is. LLGxx
twinkie stardust!!!
Mmmm..un choix cornelien. Mon fils adorerait une broche robot (qui irait parfaitement avec son épée star wars) et ma fille, la rose bien sur , pour son côté princesse. Je crois que je vais laisser de côté mon côté fille (encore!)et faire sortir la force qui est en moi!
Encore merci pour ta générosité.
aww! great minds think alike!!
I actually just bought one of their scrabble letter necklaces last week!
love.xx
The pink rose is beautiful.:)
