sometimes, when i have a few minutes of peace and time to waste on the computer (something in short supply these days!), i like to plug relevant and interesting search terms into etsy (or sometimes ebay) and see what [potentially] cool stuff comes up.
see below: some very cool finds on etsy that were delivered to me after putting "aztec" in the search field, and pulling down the "vintage" category at the same time. enjoy!
i know of miss softspoken from wardrobe_remix...she's been a contributor there for many years now. she's got a savvy eye for stellar vintage pieces (see that superb old multicolored liz claiborne bag she's selling, shown above)...but where she soars, i say, is with her lovely hand-crocheted hats and other accessories. lookit those bobbles! delicious.
summer is my least favorite time of year, it's too hot and steamy and sweaty (in NYC at least)...and all during this stickiest of seasons i daydream about the cooler days to come and all the sartorial possibilities inherent to thus. softspoken's hats are the just the kind of thing, the perfect textural, colorful winter pieces, that i see in said (day)dreams. too too good.
in the event that i was actually in the mood to spend some moolah, i wouldn't mind picking up a piece of jewelry like any of the above by laura lombardi jewelry. her etsy shop is full of similarly chic pieces, many of them fashioned out of that finest of materials, my favorite, gold (yum yum!). the last of the pieces shown above i spotted on wikstenmade. my my, jenny gordy, do you ever have good taste...
