Ok, dilemma time. I’ve been invited to a wedding in Canberra in three weeks and for someone that breaks out in hives and major sweat panics at the mere thought of having to dress up, I have got myself into a right ass pickle. You may wonder why someone that drops her guts in sheer terror at the thought of rockin the dress up would even have a fashion blog on The Vine, or even qualify for employment at such a prestige website – truth be told I live and breathe streetwear. Have since TLC rocked the spot on MTV back in the early ‘90s, so the quandary of working with something that doesn’t include jeans, sneakers, tee-shirt and cap has got me reaching for the Zanax faster than an Amy Winehouse rehab stint.

 

Thank god for Cherrytree Road! The locally based jewellery house has just released a line of the most super spankin’ metal link ties and bow ties. I’m about to set this pseudo tux I envision wearin into hyperdrive yo! Featuring a bouquet of chains intertwined finely to create a masterpiece of after-five wear, the magic pops off as it allows you to maintain that edge of cool and street without compromising on that all important savvy-ass style. I tell you what….I’m hooked. You have to see these pieces in the flesh to truly appreciate the originality and freshness they bring to your outfit.

 

And it’s all thanks to CEO Jared Iaoumtzis, who has been running things over at Cherrytree Road for the last three and a half years. Named after the street where he grew up for 22 years (awwwww!), Jared has seen the brand flourish from one-off limited pieces to a collection that has graced the hotness that is John Mayer, Russell Brand and Pharrell Williams. Having product developed and manufactured collections for Menswear labels such as Calibre, Jack London, Witchery Man and Autonomy in the past, you know this jewels-smith has the right fingers to fondle the floss!

 

While the ties have got my knickers knotted into a kinetic frenzy, it’s worth checking out the rest of the collection from brassin’ bracelets to bangin’ necklaces. Stocked in over 20 stores throughout Melbourne, Sydney and New York, it’s definitely time to salivate and pop your cherry with some fresh ass Cherrytree bondage!
