Jealousy Design

I don't usually wear rings (other than my wedding band), but this cool tree ring by Jealousy Design is making me rethink my ban on them. Handcrafted from sterling silver and juniper wood, it has such a funky natural look to it. Only $44!!

Party Wear

Prom season is coming up and these cute party dresses by Lynn's Rags are perfect for a different fun and flirty look. Plus, they are under $100!!! Check out more unique fashions HERE.

Wren Willow

Wren Willow makes these adorable onesies and tees for the little tots in your life. Screen printed and hand dyed on soft cotton, they are just so damn cute! Available in over 20 different colors so you are sure to find a color to see your loved one! (Plus...bonus...they are available in kid and adult sizes too!)

Corseted

So, I don't have the body to wear this...but that won't stop me from admiring. Inspired from the 50's frilly prom dresses, this corset and collar by Freyagushi is handmade from white silk dupioni, lace, and pink ribbon. Totally sexy, utterly feminine, and...totally out of my league. Ah...but a girl can dream can't she?

All in Knots

I love wearing bracelets as the weather gets warmer. These gorgeous bracelets by I Candies are hand woven and knotted with hundreds of tiny little seed beads. They have a cool earthy feel to them when paired with the leather cord. The pale one (pictured first above) would look amazing with a summer tan! Both would be perfect with a short sleeve tee or a sleeveless dress!

Family

Mother's Day is approaching, and this petite necklace by Mad Maggie Designs is a beautiful way to show off your entire family. A lovely reminder of all that is special. Only $19!!

Hey Stud

Sometimes you just need a stud. Not just any stud. A cute little pair of earring studs. Jewelry designer Catherine Marissa has a fabulous collection of little earrings...perfect for those times when you just want a little bling. Besides, at only $12 a pair...this is one stud I can afford.

Petite Croix

May is quickly approaching, and, in my house, that means my daughter Elle is making her First Holy Communion. I wanted to get her something special for the day, but something unique and different, outside the "box." Alayna of Piano Bench Designs made me this beautiful custom little cross pendant with a tiny pearl. Slightly abstract...the design is perfect for our multi-religious household...you almost have to look twice to know what it is. Perfectly sized, very subtle, it is piece that I know Elle will treasure forever. Get your own HERE.

I'm a Barbie Girl, in a Barbie World

New York designer Margaux Lange is one of my favorite jewelry artists on Etsy because I get such a kick out of her funky handcrafted goods! Earrings, pins, rings, pendants...all created from the various body parts of Barbie dolls...although these are definitely not just for your daughters! Perfect to wear out, be bold, and start some conversations. Prices start at around $110.

Easter Break

My kids are on Easter Break this week...which means I am taking the week off too...Have a great week and see you next week!

Like an Open Book

I know lots of people who don't like to read...if you are one of them...you can still look well read by wearing this cool necklace from The Black Spot. A little usable miniature book, handcrafted from leather scraps, lineless strathmore drawing paper (a thick, hand-torn, acid-free paper that work perfectly with ink, pens both thick and superfine, pencil, charcoal, and myriad other mediums), and archival linen binder's thread. So cool. Only $40.

Spice Girl

I love this cool ring by Metals Girl. The ring is hand formed from sterling silver and then filled with mustard seeds. So funky and fun! Check out more cool metal jewelry with fun pops of color HERE.

Got a Light?

I love this matchbox pendant necklace by Yellow Goat. Whimsical and creative, it features the words "A Perfect Match" handstamped on the top and 2 matches inside. Great for a gift for a loved one...or as an ice breaker for you single ladies out there...where this to a bar at night and watch the conversation start flowing!! Check out more cool designs HERE.

Dippin'

I love these little dipping bowls by The Little Red Door. Handformed from white stoneware clay, and then glazed in your choice of colors, these are perfect to use for sushi lovers or to place out when entertaining. Food, microwave and dishwasher safe, they are just a really cute way to showcase your artistic side, instead of a traditional boring white bowl! Only $18 for a set of 5!!

Fire Dancer

Whenever I see cool home accents, I want to start redecorating....unfortunately for my husband! These amazing blown glass sinks by Fire Dancer Glass are making me lust for a new bathroom! The rich lush jewel tones are so stunning and would transform an ordinary bathroom into an extraordinary oasis inside the home. I already want to start picking out matching towels...Check out more HERE.

Lirola

Israeli designer Lirola makes beautiful elegant clothing out of drapey fabrics and gorgeous colors. I love the intricate pleating on otherwise simple silhouettes.

Check out more HERE, including her fantastic wrap dresses!
