Please pardon the pun, but these are charming. The little danglies are a mix of vintage and new pieces, and they’re so delicate and fun. The best part (or worst, if you’re too slow) is that most of the maker’s offerings are one of a kind. So you’ve got to make your move, no procrastinating. (Wasn’t that your New Year’s resolution anyway?)
I could think of so many things, besides pencils, to store in these fun little bags. Like colored pencils. Kidding, but I do use them to keep my makeup brushes safe, or to keep things organized in my black hole of a purse.
This dress is just. . .pretty. I imagine wearing it with a cardigan, black tights, and boots, or with kitten heels and lots of beads. And you can’t beat $34.99 with a stick.
This international outfitter caters to Parisian girls (among so many others) so of course it’s tres chic. Offered in four colors (I love the brown one), this antiqued leather tote looks pulled together without looking stuffy. Also, the grommets are great and it comes with versatile straps - a set of short and a shoulder - so you can mix it up. Perfect for toting baguettes, even if you’re walking down Broadway.
When I lived in London, I visited Muji about as much as I went to see Les Mis. Which was all the time. Every time I popped in I left with armfulls of great finds, and it’s stuff I’m still using years later. (Mainly because the brand emphasizes simplicity…their products are streamlined and elegant.) Sadly, there is no Muji store in New York, but the MoMA sells a nice selction of the goods online.
This little number just makes me happy to look at. From the same artist who offers the Yarn Beaded Bracelet featured below, Bobbles are handmade as well. The gal is clearly talented. Her jewelry line has a DIY feel, but in a classic, sophisticated way. (Which makes sense, since she’s a trained artist who works in a ton of mediums.) I’m all over this bracelet come summer. [Thanks for the hot tip, Paul.]
This is wearable art, people. Each piece is handmade and one-of-a-kind. 59 smackers is far less than you’d shell out for a
one-of-a-kind anything in a SoHo gallery, plus you can show off this pretty investment.
I’m sorry I’ve been barraging you with beads as of late, but these are just too good to overlook. They come in light or dark brown or green, and they’re so versatile you could wear them with a dress or jeans. And if you’re reading this and you happen to be my kindergarten-teaching sister: Look, wooden jewelry that’s not hideous!
I saw these shoes months ago and fell hard for them, but it just wasn’t the right time for us to get together. A few hours ago I heard the news that the whole line is half off. I shall refer to this as shoe manifest destiny.
This extra long necklace can be worn single or double stranded, so you’ll never get bored! Just kidding, but if this shop’s good enough for Lohan, it’s good enough for me.
NUTS! This just sold out!
