The Perfect [Geometric] Accessory.

It's small, cute and versatile. And to top it off, it's big enough to transport all of your daily essentials. In short, it's the perfect, geometric accessory!

A Few Of Our Favorite Etsy [Accessory] Treasuries.

Since this week is all about accessories, we scoured through the Etsy treasury, hoping to find some goodies. And boy did we ever!

Theme Of The Week: [Project] Accessories.

Accessories make the outfit. I'm a dude, so I've always just accepted this statement as fact. After all, sunglasses are pretty much the only accessory I sport:

Me and my "accessories".

But having seen my share of "Project Runway" episodes, I totally get it now. Accessories can make the outfit. And sometimes, they can even steal the show!

Woven rope necklace, from Jennifer Loiselle.

So this week, we're all about accessories: necklaces, earrings, brooches, shoes, belts, fascinators and more--for these are the the true wardrobe stars.

Pink flower hair piece, from Which Goose.

So without further ado, I dub this week, "Project Accessory"! This, of course, is a total hijacking of the upcoming show with the same name. But hey, let's just consider it an homage.

Runway For The Written Word.

We're huge fans of "Project Runway". And last week's challenge to create an avant garde look proved difficult for the aspiring designers. Perhaps a dose of ironic typography would've done the trick:

Theme Of The Week: Autumn Preview.

Fall is my favorite time of the year. Instantly, memories of jumping in to piles of raked up leaves come rushing back to me. And the taste of warm pumpkin pie tickles my taste buds.

What's not to love about a cold, Autumn day? The kind of day where a cup of hot cocoa heats up your bones, and a wool scarf keeps your neck cozy, insulated and warm.

"Uniscarf", from Yokoo.

























This week is all about the comforts of Fall: accessories, decor, foods, movies and more. So bundle up, grab a seat by the fire, put some water on the boil and ready yourself for this week's chill bump-inducing "Autumn Preview"!

Color Study: Phlox.

"Emberglow" and "orchid hush" are two of the more melodic hues mentioned in Pantone's Fall Color Report. But we're in love with "phlox"--a deep orchid with enough confidence to live up to its bold namesake.

Necklace, from Pole Star.

Theme Of The Week: Animal-Friendly Finds.

Bison necklace, from Meg J. Roberts.























Nothing deep or philosophical here, we simply love animals. Perhaps more importantly though, we're inspired by animals. Imagery of woodland creatures like owls, squirrels, birds and bunnies are prevalent within the handmade universe. And in the art world, dogs and cats are frequent, beloved subjects. Even the not-so-cute animals like alligators, armadillos and snakes make the occasional appearance.

This week, we're flipping on the instinctual switch and harnessing our inner beast. That's right, we're going all animal. It's time to celebrate the creatures and critters of the world--and more specifically, the incredible creations they inspire.

So stay tuned for our week-long lovable, enlightening (and in some cases, furry) crop of "Animal-Friendly Finds". Have a great week, everyone!

Theme Of The Week: Summer Finds.

Red suspender sleeves, from Moon Halo.























Summer is upon us. Beaches and swimming pools await travelers. Fashion trends are morphing, as jeans are slowly being replaced with shorts and skirts. The weather is rapidly heating up. Vacations are being planned. In short, here comes the sun...

A Wallet For Every Dad.

The Minimalist:

Slim, wood business card holder, from Your Nest Inspired.




















The Jock:

Recycled, vinyl tennis wallet, from Mitten Maker.

























The Techie/Geek:

Carbon fiber, velcro wallet, from Ragged Edge Gear.




















The Hipster:

Custom bicycle wallet, from In Blue.




















You've seen your dad's wallet. It's that bulbous, faded, hunk of leather exploding from his back pants pocket. It's crammed with receipts, business cards and photos. Yet, somehow, it's completely void of the one thing that wallets are essentially built for: cash.

And since your dad has no cash to his name, a painful filing system in his back pocket, and an increasingly crooked spine, he desperately needs you to buy him a new wallet. Trust us--his butt, back and budget will thank you.

Part of our week long "Gifts For Dad" series. More Father's Day finds all this week!

Part of our week long "It’s A Small World" series. Check back this week for more tiny finds!
