if money was no object…
i’d take any of these:
these interestingly beaded earrings by meeshka, which have a lovely colorway that is reminiscent of the seashore and summertime:
here be the ‘fennel’ earrings by one of my favorite jewelry designers the world over, kyo hashimoto. her latest jewelry collection is called ‘the anatomy of f’. all the pieces in this latest group of designs have a name beginning with ‘f’.
these subtly remind me of the interesting tribal ear stretchers some folks wear.
i love all the hand-wrought crochet/felt jewelry by kjoo! these earrings of hers are rather lovely, with their found-object feel:
not much gets me going over at UO these days (it mostly looks and feels cheap, and a lot of it is not my personal style) but i am very enamored with this graphic tote. i have always been a sucker for geometric prints and bright colors.
though i don’t use it much anymore (because of great changes with the site that i don’t like), i still collect/organize some links to things i love over at stylehive. feel free to peruse, if you’re so inclined.

EricaI’ve lately been feeling the same as you regarding UO; back in the day it was my favorite store and nowadays I feel mostly blah about what I see. (The bag you featured is cute, though.) Maybe we aren’t part of their target demographic anymore…

Joyful AbodeThose first earrings are BEAUTIFUL.
If money were no object, I’d get them too. (Isn’t it “were” and not “was”?)

triciajoyful abode: “was” is perfectly acceptable in the case i used it, though perhaps not “proper”.

bits and bobbins » archives » etsy love: kjoo[...] first up is kjoo, aka maria, a graphic designer and fiber jewelry maker who hails from portugal. i first became aware of her via her flickr. i have been a fan of her work for some time, and i’ve actually written about her here before, over a year and a half ago, but her work delights me so that i feel like she deserves repeat mention. maria’s work shows a finely honed sense and sensitivity to color and texture. unusual colorways, skilled, steady handiwork in the realms of hand-stitching, felting and crochet, and a studied skill in marrying various found materials makes for a deliciously amorphous, experimental, organic feel to her whole body of work. her work is transcendent, her pieces are akin to wearable art. a good pal of mine here in san francisco is a big fan of maria’s work and has several of her one-ofa-kind pieces in her jewelry collection, so i can also attest to their beauty in the flesh. they have a soft tactile look and feel on sights, and you can palpably sense the work and trained eye that fashioned them. the piece below is one of my favorites. more kjoo lovliness here. viva, etsy!
