hollyhawk

Hollyhawk has the most adorable leather accessories. Designer, Holly Strate’s designs are modern and stylish. I love her use of color too. She offers card cases, purses, jewelry and leather wrist cuffs. Really great stuff! Make sure to check out her site.

antigenre

I’m absolutely crazy about the jewelry from AntiGenre.  I love the simple shapes, the oxidized sterling {some pieces even use recycled silver!}, and the beads she uses. Her designs are not the least bit frou frou. I think I have to have those earrings above {botom, left}. So cool! I’d wear them every day.

*Anti Genre is having a sale on New Year’s Day! Selected items in stock will be 20% off from the morning of the 1st through midnight. Woo hoo!

I love these handbags from Boston based Frock. Made from repurposed vintage fabrics and brooches from the 1940’s through the 1960’s. My favorite is the “Emily” handbag {above, left…with the brown tweed and pink trim}. The sprout bags are great too. Love the repurposed belts as shoulder straps. What a find! Isn’t it time you bought a little somethin’ for yourself?!

munted

The winner of the last contest makes some super cute crocheted jewelry that I wanted to share {love the green necklace on the top left!!}. They are made by Portland, Oregon based Muntedkowhai on Etsy {no, I have no idea how to pronounce it!}.

The handbags from Emma Gordon London are described by the owner/creator as “ladylike with a twist”. The perfect description, I think! I love the one with the little flower {above}. Plenty of color combinations are available on Emma’s site! Very sweet.
