Are you an Eco-ist

March 24, 2011 by

1/4 of the Tipsy Society, AK,  brought me a purse back from a getaway in Mexico one year.  Its a spitting image of  these wristlets below (except made with candy wrappers).  I wear when I really need to spice up a solid tee.

When I found the wristlet at the store, I kept looking and they have some really amazing pieces from gently used material.

  1. Recycled Record Cuff
  2. Magazine Coin Purse
  3. Confetti Wristlet
  4. Bar Code Wristlet

Etsy Spotlight: Crazy4Handstamping

March 10, 2011 by

For those of you who missed it, my beautiful sister Der recently had a birthday.  I wanted to get her something very meaningful for her gift this year instead of just another cute clothing item, although we all know how she loves those :). During my quest I came across the Crazy4Handstamping etsy shop. They have soooo many cute items you can personalize, and all of them are very reasonably priced. I went with #1, and it was a huge hit, perfect gift for a new mom! Here are just a few of the options at this shop, they pretty much have something for whatever occasion you are shopping for, or even if you just want one for yourself 🙂

  1. Name and Date Tag- Handstamped Sterling
  2. Name and Date Tag w/ Birthstone Dangle
  3. I Love You to the Moon Handstamped
  4. Confirmation Baptism Special Occasion Handstamped Sterling Silver Necklace
  5. The Wedding Locket w/Something Blue
  6. New Baby- Handstamped Sterling Silver Necklace
  7. The Runner’s Charm-Sterling Silver Necklace

Etsy Finds

March 10, 2011 by

Here some of the latest Etsy finds I have favorite’d this week.

  1. Turquoise Leather Cuff, Trillby Made Etsy Shop-Yall know my love for turquoise by now so it should be no surprise that I was drawn to this cuff.  I’m loving that it’s reversible!
  2. Lemon drop Blooming Headband, Emily Sparks Handmade Etsy Shop-Der got me on an Etsy crochet hunt after her post last week. I did recently take a crochet class and I am currently wondering if I could possibly even make this headband, what?!
  3. BAM POW Vinyl Decals, Off the Wall Expression Etsy Shop-I think these would be TURBO CUTE in a playroom or little boy’s room.  I love superhero themed stuff.
  4. Doorstump, Cozy Blue Etsy Shop-First off, the name of this thing just KILLS ME.  I love that it has so many uses: doorstop, bookend, toy, and the list goes on…
  5. A-Z Bean Bags, Frayed Etsy Shop-I think this is a great idea with teaching the alphabet.  I want a number one too!!

Latest Loves

March 1, 2011 by

These are the latest things I’ve been crushing on lately.  What are you crushing on lately?

  1. Elastic Espadrilles, Boden-I could not love this color more.  The price on the other hand, I could do without that.
  2. Jewelled Button Cardigan, Boden-I love me a good cardigan and this just snazzes things up a bit.
  3. Sky Drops Earrings, Anthropologie-I helped throw a baby shower over the weekend and this was the hostess gift I got. I am in absolute love with these earrings.
  4. Coptic Cross Bracelet, Sundance Catalog-I saw a bracelet similar to this on the BonBon Rose Girls site and have yet to stop thinking about it.  This is the closest I’ve come to finding something like it.
  5. Mossimo Ownah Striped Espadrilles, Target-I actually purchased these since it’s already getting summer-like here .  I plan on wearing the hell out of them this spring/summer.
