Becoming a Bond Girl

My favorite Bond girl is Elektra King. She by far has my favorite jewelry and clothing of any Bond girl. I have been on a quest for earrings like hers.
It has proven to be more difficult than expected. Then my Aunt gave me a pair of earrings from my Grandmother that are very Elektra. They has a strange backing that hooks on to you inner ear so if you are missing an earlobe you could wear it. Besides the shape and backing it looks like colors she would wear and would go well with her ski suit.
I started thinking about what I would wear these earrings with. As a side note I collect cut minerals that are "deadly." I gave some that are mildly radioactive or composed if some kind of poison but are in a stable state (we all have hobbies
) In my gem search I found a kind of Garnet that has trace amounts of aspestos which gives it it's color.
It is excessively lame but I was very excited because one it works with the earrings, and two it is something warped that she would wear. She seems like the type who likes rubies but would be much more pleased with something that, in theory, could hurt you.
More of her earrings.
Here is her official Swatch... She would not wear this. Ever.

I tried on the most Sylvia Trench bracelet ever today. It would be perfect with her one shoulder red dress.
I am digging this one:

He‘s the bitchiest Bond Girl that you could imagine and he loves to dress accordingly
Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!
And almost everyone agrees that he‘s quite a tit

Lovely collection Vesper Melograno - and I agree with you, Electra is one of the very best.
Out of sheer boredom my love to help other people find their grails, all I could find for Wai Lin's bracelet was this:

It has the same vibe to it but it's far more dressier yet not ring-like.
Anyway, what about Anya's ear-rings and bracelets?

To me it looks like Onyx with a diamond halo, which is totally logical since onyx was always used in mourning jewelry.

This is pretty hard close because outside the halo is another band of onyx.
Mr. Punker, you are going to cost me a good deal of money.
I can completely understand that, it is rather stunning I'm sure
Here you go.
I think it is a a Hermes belt.

With you being one of the few females on the forum, do you dress like the Bond girls in entire outfits or take style notes from them? Would be very interested in hearing about your perspective on that. Would love to see some examples too! -{

I really like this bold coat with my spider brooch. I had it made because in my head it looked like something a villain would wear.
I do want a ski outfit just like the one worn by Elektra King and before my trip to see the OHMSS house. I am not having any luck so I might just sew it.

I am in awe of those with sewing skills, being able to want a piece and then have the ability to just make it!
I think your attitude to styling works best. I'm not sure aside from the Commander outfit or a suit if I'd don a completely SA Bond wardrobe. It's more about matching one or two SA pieces with the appropriate non-SA attire. If it feels like Bond and it works for my frame then I go with it. The outcome is I looked much better dressed these days!
I agree with you. While no one I work with would say much, and in fact people would expect it, if I went all out I would feel a little silly. I only make Jean Harlow dresses to wear to Special Olympics dances. I am a SO coach and the athletes love when you are over the top and that is the only time I can get away with it.
When I travel I do go all out and carry my full American Tourist travel set. It makes me feel like I am in From Russia With Love.
After about 5 minutes of brain-storming, I see what you mean in regards to trends (View to A Kill comes to mind)
However, I would argue that the most timeless piece of clothing that a woman wore in the series would be the reinterpretation of Marilyn Monroe's famous white dress; Holly's (trendingly long) white dress in Moonraker.
