Etsy is offering up exactly what we’re looking for. This rough diamond ring has Read more →
Lately, we’ve been on the fence about cork shoes. Not shoes with just a cork platform, mind you. But ones that use the material for the entire shoe. We were intrigued when a friend told us there were super cheap vintage cork shoes on Etsy. This pair and this pair totally sold us on the Read more →
Brace yourself Mr. Lagerfeld. We just spotted this “Coco Chanel Genuine Mink Charm Bracelet” on Etsy. It’s being sold by PoetSummer who says she’s trying out some new designs.

But if you’re not so vocal, or visual, about your love of sailors and the sea, this bracelet from designer TrystByKerry is for you, and frankly for Read more →
We just came across BRadelyBB, a seller on Etsy, and we knew we had to share. Her online store is packed with adorable accessories, mostly stud earrings, and at incredibly low prices.

Because whenever we get a cute bobby pin, we lose it immediately 4. Because the red will really suit our hair color (or anyone’s) 5. Because Read more →
At the blog mode panel at the Met two weeks ago, Harold Koda said Simon Costin’s Victorian looking necklaces were two of the most discussed pieces of the exhibit.
