The whimsical fairytale headpiece is something you think you'll never wear, but it's SO AWESOME that you end up working it into your fashion choices.

I like the use of rhinestones.  It gives it just enough sparkle without turning it into overwhelming bling, and the soft rose color is perfect for spring, summer and fall.

It's hard for women to swing a bowtie, but it's not so hard to rock a bowtie necklace!

This is definitely a piece of jewelry to have run with.  Wear it with a white t-shirt and a pair of black suspenders for a nod to the turn o the century newsboy look (you MAY be able to pair a hat with it, but just make sure you don't go overboard!)

Only forty-five dollars for a funky silver ring is pretty darn good!

Unlike a lot of other statement rings, you can wear this one everyday (because what doesn't go with silver?)  Also, mark my words, mixed metals trend is creeping in, and it's on its way.  Great way to do it is a silver ring and a gold necklace!

I don't normally go for hippie-esque jewelry, but there is something so artistic and creative about these, I couldn't resist.  I love anything brass and I am a sucker for geometric shapes, so I guess it's no surprise why I like this, but the sun pendant is what I love most!  It ties it all together.  It's nice to see someone chose some items to make their jewelry that the entire world isn't using right now.

As far as plain dresses go, this is about as sexy as it gets!

Could you get this same exact dress in Target for about half the price?  Yes, yes you could.  But will it be handmade?  Will it be as well made?  Will it have unique style details like flutter sleeves?  Will it essentially be custom made to order?  No, it won't.  And for all those reasons, I really support buying this very classic, one of a kind, made to order dress.

Also, ladies with weird shapes (yes you, over there, with the size 40 chest and 25 inch waist): if you go on Etsy, you can have them make a dress to fit your weird shape!

The "honeycomb" design is hot right now, but I haven't really seen it in a narrow diamond shape!  I also haven't seen the combs in such a delicate flower shape.  Half of what it takes to make good jewelry is knowing what shapes will work in a design, and this designer clearly has the knack!

While I am generally not a ring person, if I'm going to buy and wear a ring, it's going to be large, and funky!  This bright blue mosaic ring is so beautiful and unusual.  It's the perfect accent piece for an outfit (think a white dress and a wide brim black straw hat!)

I own a mirror from Crooked Moon Mosaics, and it's lovely!  Great, quality work.  You won't be unhappy!

Are you (or someone in your life) always whipping up cookies, cakes and other sweet treats?  This charm necklace might be right up their alley!  There is a big trend right now to have a necklace with one or two cute charms (sunglasses, a bird, etc.), so at least let the trend reflect your personality!

Have you always wanted to tell someone that something you own was handmade in Paris?  Then you should buy this bag!  The designer makes them by hand, and guess where she lives...

I love her messenger bag style.  I put the "la poste" bag up but there are so many great ones (including a beautiful green bag with a picture of a bicycle.)  It's a delightful, simple style that works with a number of fabrics, so you'll be able to find something that fits your style.

This is maybe a ring you shouldn't wear while drinking, as you could accidentally hurt someone?

It's big, but awesome, and funky in an art party way.  Art as fashion is always....haute ;)

These are some of the best gold disc earrings I've ever found on Etsy!

Any brushed metal has a dimension that a smooth metal doesn't have.  It makes the item seem special in an indie way.  I find the design of this particular brushed disc earring to be mesmerizing.  It would be a fabulous addition to any outfit, in particular those for a more fancy occasion.

I've never seen a "scarf necklace", but now that I have, I can say I'm a fan!

These are prime spring/fall colors, all wrapped into one delightful necklace.  This kind of focus piece would work best with just a white t-shirt or with a blazer.

Spring is prime scarf season!  Why?  Because you want to wear all those new spring clothes you bought, but it's still kinda cold out...

Enter...the scarf!  I like the neutral tones of this one because I think neutral layering is the way to go this spring (how cute would this be with olive pants and an ivory peasant top???)

Are you good at ignoring things? (Or, alternatively, are you bad at paying attention?)  Then these earrings are for you!

Jewelry doesn't have to be serious and stunning all the time...sometimes it can just be fun.

I generally hate feather earrings, but maybe that's because 99% of feather earrings are done horribly?  This pair here has a lot more going on that just one or two mismatched feathers attached to an earring hook.  The colors work REALLY well with the dotted feather, and the way too long rocker length actually works! (Something I never would have thought.)

A small note: These are legit rocker earrings, and are not meant to be worn to do your groceries.  Make sure if you buy them to create a rockin' going out ensemble to match these earrings, and make sure everything you have on is worthy to let them shine!

My my, I am definitely in a stripes mood!  With a nautical twist?

Or maybe that this bright, colorful bag brought a smile to my face in an otherwise colorless day.

New York, will you ever warm up?????  I want to wear this bag during the SPRING.

I look to Etsy not just for jewelry I wouldn't find in your average Claire's, but for the jewelry I wouldn't have even thought would be awesome until I saw it existed.

This pair of earrings falls into the latter categories.  Of course I love pearls.  Of course I love calla lilies.  And yet I never imagined them together! (Spectacularly together, I might add!)

The snap clutch is perhaps my favorite kind of bag accessory.  Small, but holds so much!  Always up to date, but still has that slightly vintage 60's feel.

Below are just a few of my favorites of the hundreds of different snap clutches that Mod Dot Textiles has on her etsy page.  At only $35.00 a bag, you can buy more than one and use them for specific outings!

The paper inserted into glass and resin trend is nothing new, but using Japanese chiyogami paper IS a new concept!

If you don't like this particular pattern, the designer has tons more, and makes the same type of jewelry for rings, necklaces and cufflinks.  Cheap AND original!
