Etsy seller BrooklynBags creates these geometric necklaces by drawing original designs, tracing them onto non-toxic shrink plastic with colored pencils, and back them. Cool, right? Another thing we love is the affordable price tag: The Shield Rainbow pendant shown is just $22. Click here to visit the Etsy shop.BrooklynBags_Thumb.gif

kristinitss11_thumb.gifEco-conscious line Kristinit has some great new items now available at Stanton James. We love these flowy, feminine silk pieces that capture spring’s bohemian trend and can easily be dressed up or down. Asymmetrical cuts and neutral colors leave these tops and dresses ready for creative accessorizing and layering.
