tgif! accessoy love
We racked our brains. We paced up and down. We even had 5 cupcakes to soothe the anxiety (who are we kidding, we’d use any old excuse). And finally, we settled on this. The best way to polish off the week and celebrate Fridays- an Etsy roundup of course! But not just any old roundup. Our roundup is exclusively via Papernstitch, one of the best curated sites around. Admittedly, it makes our job easier, since the creme de la creme of handmade indie design is just waiting to be plucked.
We’ve been a little accessory crazy this week here at Dujour, so our first tgif post is all about jewels, head pieces and the bags you wish you could wear! Do tell us what you think!
Oh come on! You name the necklace Heidi (such a sweet name that always made us thing of innocent little pigtailed girls, well, until MTV) and then throw ballet slipper pink in the description? Of course we’re going to love it! But not only that, in the same shop, Bride Blu, you’ll find a gorgeous vintage scalloped rhinestone necklace that, no joke, is identical to the one our editor snatched up while in Montreal. Jewel sisters anyone? (Beats blood brothers right?) Get them both here.
What can we say. Our love for indie runs deep. But we have to agree with Maria, designer of Nosideup- Sex and the City made us want to be bad, real bad. Skip your rent and phone bills to buy a LV bag on eBay kind of bad. But why not blend two loves together? Indie designer makes It Bag parody in an artistic fashion. Voila! A summer tote to be proud of. Get it here.
Not sure what’s in the water, but we are hair accessory crazy these days. But its so pelting hot, so please, no PVC or leather today. No worries, Little Birdie Design Studio has got you covered! Their blossoming fabric headband is so light and sweet, we wish it were legal to walk outside only wearing headpieces. No, not yet? One can dream! Get it here.
Just in case you didn’t hear us loud and clear, its hot, hot, hot! Who can even think about scarves, let alone knitted anything, when all we want to do is jump in our neighbors pool (sorry for all the illegal activity suggestions today). But fear not dolls, you can strike a balance with a scarf that doubles more as a knitted necklace. Get this beautiful mint green chain scarf from Miti-Mota here.
