Meet, Kora. This jewelry line had me at the horned cuff, and from there, the love affair only grew stronger. I edited down to two of my favorite picks below. Everything is made from recycled materials found and used by local artisans in African developing communities. Eco-friendly, check. Fair trade, check. Clever name that ties [...]

Meet, One Teaspoon. First of all, I am in love. The product is sick, something that’s pretty evident by the below shots. And I mean ‘sick’ in a good way, not in a, ‘something-tastes-a-little-funny,’ kind of way. But beyond that, the company itself is strikingly authentic when it comes to their culture based off of [...]

Meet, Cosmic Thread. You’ve got to love a little truly ‘out-there’ creativity when it comes to fashion design. For instance, upon checking out the ‘About’ page on the Cosmic Thread website, I got a colorful, slightly visually dizzying, run-through on what the brand is all about. And, I think I get it? Two sisters are [...]

Allow me to introduce Bing Bang, a line described by designer Anna Sheffield as, “haute-costume jewelry.” This woman has done it all from welder to blacksmith, and naturally, costume designer. Naturally. So her eclectic background lends itself, and actually is easily seen in her work. I have a couple of favorites that I found while digging [...]

Allow me to introduce Anteprima. I will admit, after having done a bit of research, I am not stumbling upon what I’d call a very new or emerging label with this one. It’s not an independently designed label, so it’s a bit of a detour in the usual Introductions being made on the site. That [...]

Allow me to introduce Alex Toy, the name behind the handbag and accessories collection. Ok, let me tell you why I love this line…Toy is about the material and function of a bag, making sure every detail is covered and not blown out of proportion with too much shine or ‘flare.’ The bags are made [...]

Allow me to introduce my new favorite handbag line, White feather. I drop the ‘F’ word now and then, but in this case, I’m not playing, well, favorites. This is the real deal and I won’t even have to tell you why, I’ll show you instead. Check out what I’m going ga-ga over below (click [...]

It’s magenta, it’s suede, it’s chained-up, and it’s versatile as a cross-body or shoulder bag. I can’t even handle it. Um, no wait, yes I can. Actually, I’d be happy to. The list never ends when it comes to the new ‘Stella’ (no, we didn’t edit based on the name of the bag, but let’s [...]

Allow me to introduce the latest independent fashion line that I’m in love with, pixie knits. The below Geometric Knitted Dress got my attention immediately, and I went on to shop the entire collection. From there, things only went uphill. The dress is the edited (as always, it’s a dirty job to narrow down the [...]

Allow me to introduce EcoShag, an LA-based, eco-saavy line of accessories that caught my eye on Etsy. Tania, the designer behind this ingenious collection, loves what she does and makes no qualms about it, which it is evident in her creations. There’s heart behind her work, that’s a large part of why I love it, [...]
