I Heart: linkeldesigns

I always find that it's easy to get overwhelmed looking at jewelry on Etsy, so when I find a good shop, I stick to it. This afternoon I entertained myself at work by abusing the "Pounce" feature and I was lucky enough to find a shop (Linkel Designs) that offered adorable, affordable, and fun jewelry pieces. Although this mother/daughter duo don't seem to be strangers to sales, this shop still seems cozy and sweet to me. After much deliberation, I was able to narrow down the 14 pages and pick my favorite 4 items.

I Heart: bayan hippo

I have always been a sucker for purses. Although the economic downfall mixed with the new expense of paying city rent have forced me to reevaluate my priority list, I still can't resist drooling over the endless amounts of gorgeous handmade bags on Etsy. This morning I rediscovered a favorite shop of mine (bayan hippo) where practical but fun summer bags are available for crazy affordable prices.
