Tiny, Yet Adorable. Like Me. Only Not.

Anyone who knows me well knows that my tastes run from the delightfully tacky to the completely tacky. I like to think of it as one of my better qualities, but really, it’s probably one of those *eye roll* “OH MY GOD, HAVE YOU SEE WHAT AUNT BECKY DID?!?” things. I’m okay with that. I march to the beat of my very, very tacky drummer and really, he and I are fabulously glittery BFF.

When I got my iPhone 3, I was all I NEED A SPANGLY CASE. See, I’d made myself a terribly awful one back when I thought I was marginally crafty (spoiler alert: I’m not):

Not only is it FUG, but it weighs like 800 pounds and couldn’t carry a signal. Nice job, me.

So, I told myself that the moment that I got a nice phone, I’d get a spangly case for it. Problem is, those things are expensive. When I broached the subject of buying a case that cost more than the phone itself, let’s just say I was laughed at. And rightly *sniff, sniff* so.

I got an iPhone 4 this summer and again, I was all, “IMMA GET A FANCY CASE” for it. The deal I’d worked out with a company that makes blingy phones, of course, fell through.

Instead of blinging things out, I found myself in the nebulous world of Etsy, a place that makes my palms sweat because it’s so…huge and intimidating. But I figured that maybe I could find a deal on a case there. Instead, I found DECO.

I don’t understand Deco, except to say that it’s from Japan, which, to me, explains it all.

It’s tiny awesome decorations shaped like, uh, bling and, uh, sweets. Which. RAD. Also: ADORABLE.

My phone kind of looks like this now:

Pretty much, the awesomest, tackiest thing ever.

Everyone who has seen it is HORRIFIED. Except for me. I’m in looovveee.

(I still want my blingy phone. SOME DAY, you will be mine, blingy phone.)
