Long and Lovely




The handknit links in these felted wool necklaces by Little Purls are so dramatic and chic...perfect for a bare neckline or over a turtleneck in the colder months ahead. Long, soft and lightweight, they are available in a number of colors and can easily be wrapped twice around as seen in the last picture. Gorgeous and funky!

I was in a cool front page treasury curated by the talented Piano Bench Designs early this morning! A fantastic composition of color and form! My Astrid Urban Luxe bracelet is the last one in the second row!!

Happy Knits




I wear a lot of scarves in the cold winter months here in Cleveland so I am starting to look now to add to my collection to wear with my trusty (but boring) black winter coat! Happiknits is one of my favorite stores on Etsy. Using a gorgeous and luxe blend of textures and colors, Happiknits makes the most fabulous scarves, neck wraps and shrugs that are within my price point (average price range is $55) and make me feel happy just imagining all that beautiful color near my face! Happy knits...indeed! Check out more HERE.

Bold and Beautiful


I tend to be pretty minimalistic in my day-to-day dressing, but I love to funk it up with accessories. This amazing coat by french designer Malam doesn't quite fit the standard definition of an accessory...but it would be an amazing topper to any outfit now that Fall is almost here. Elegant enough for work, but cool enough for hanging with the kids...this would be a fantastic addition to my wardrobe! Check out more totally unique fashions HERE.

Piano Bench Designs





One of my favorite jewelry shops on Etsy is Piano Bench Designs. Simple and organic, each piece is handcrafted from sterling silver with pops of beautiful color! I love the subtle details--the intricate wire wrapping, the handmade clasps--something you only get with handmade artisan jewelry! Perfect for everyday wear, the pieces are classic but still chic and would elevate any casual outift to the next level!

Cup of Joe

I am a coffee junkie...really...I drink about 3-4 cups a day. So, it is no suprise that one of my favorite shops on Etsy features the amazing pottery of Ralph Nuara. Deep rich colors in fantastic styles...I would be proud to drink my coffee in any of these cups! Prices start at only $12 for a small cup, but, the best (and coolest) deal is the Cup of the Month special, where you get one of his mugs every month for a year. What a fantastic idea for a wedding gift, Christmas (or holiday!) gift, or the coffee lover in your life! Check out more HERE.

Garden Party


This Garden Branch Bracelet by Lillyella is handcrafted from an antiqued brass branch and beautifully adorned with pale green jade and a tiny blossom of white. Subtle and elegant, this is a fantastic piece to show off a great tan! And, it is only $18! Lillyella's entire shop is filled with really beautiful vintage inspired jewelry at really really affordable prices. Plus, she lives in Cleveland (like me!) and, of course, I LOVE the name of her shop (so close to my two daughters names: Lily and Elle!). Check out more of her collection HERE.

Spring Around Your Neck


Las Lopez Las is a fantastic shop on Etsy that I just came across, and I am coveting just about everything they make! Hand knit by three sisters in Argentina, each scarf, stole and poncho is luxe, extravagant and rich. Two of my favorites are the Spring around Your Neck (pictured above) and the In Love Capelet/Wrap (pictured below). The ecru color is perfect for the cooler nights in the Summer and easily transition into the Fall (coming oh too soon!). Check out more of their collections HERE.

Bat Man in the Bedroom


I am definitely not a lingerie sort of girl, but with my fascination these past few weeks with the new Batman movie the Dark Knight and my crush on Christian Bale (although what is up with assaulting your mother and sister?), I am liking this sexy corset by Swarmy Clothes. Hand crafted from a Batman tee and black organza and lace, I can wear this under my suit for work and be my very own Super Hero. Check out more amazing inspired corsets HERE.

Dancing Queen

I went to see Mamma Mia with some friends last night and in honor of my favorite song (Dancing Queen by Abba, of course!), I had to feature this print entitled Dancing Queen by artist Courtney Oquist. Colorful and fun, the print is of an original acrylic painting with collage on wood. The entire shop is filled with fanciful and fantistical images from her imagination! Truly original! Check out more HERE.

Lisa's Lovlies


Lisa's Lovlies is a beautiful shop on etsy that has a fantastic collection of organic silver jewelry. Simple in the best possible way, the earrings are truly the perfect every day, wear with anything earrings. Small bursts of color, like the red ruby in the little delicate posts pictured above, or the sleeping beauty turquoise in the little hoops seen below are just gorgeous when paired with the shiny burnished silver. Plus, the prices are extremely reasonable...most pieces average at only $28!

Silk Smockings




These absolutely stunning pendants and rings from Tinctory are created from remnants of lustrous silk which are meticulously gathered into tiny even pleats and then smocked with contrasting threads to create a fabulous one of a kind artistic creation! Available in a wide range of color choices, I just love the delicate fanlike look of this jewellery. See more HERE. Oh...and excuse the cheesy title...one of my favorite shows in college was Silk Stalkings...so I couldn't resist!
