With my on-going obsession of the night sky I can't get these Catbird exclusive designs out of my mind. Their shop is stocked with a variety of beautiful pieces of jewelry and even quirky matchboxes, but it's these petite pieces I keep coming back to again and again. 
I was drawn to Ladybird Likes when someone featured her sweater collar clips (the ultimate in nerd-girl chic), but I really fell for her retro robots. All of these bright accessories are created by applying vintage illustrations to wood and then laser cutting. She really has filled her shop with the most delightful collection of retro images transformed into wearable art.
I've been a fan of Curious Creatures for a couple of years now, so I'm pretty thrilled to see the new items designer Larissa has been working on. I never get tired of her natural stone necklaces, but this summer she's adding delicate silk scarves and tees to the collection. The clothing is a perfect complement to her jewelry collection and both feel oh-so-summery. A dappled blue and green silk tee would look perfect at the beach and nicely balanced with an agate necklace or turquoise earrings. Yep, I might be enamored with everything by Curious Creatures...
Sometimes I see a cool tee shirt and think "man I really wish I could pull off tees better." I really do think that I look better in a dress than a tee, hence the reason I so rarely wear them on the blog. Still, I own and wear tee shirts like the rest of humanity. These epic glow-in-the-dark ones by Maiden Voyage Clothing are definitely the sort I can't resist. Perfect for a nerd girl hiding inside me.
Endlessly enamored with these hand painted lockets by Khara Ledonne. Each globe contains a tiny, secret world hidden from prying eyes until the locket is opened and its contents revealed. I think they make for beautiful gifts given the special nature of anything painted by hand making each one a work of art and they can hide private messages from the giver to the receiver. She paints a variety of subjects from narwhals to love birds, but the star-themed lockets are my favorites.
I'm swooning over these silk scarves printed with close-ups of gems by Cisthene. The store (named after the island Medusa dwelled on) is stocked with sweet jewelry and leather pouches as well, but it is these scarves that are mesmerizing me at the moment. The colors are deliciously rich and they'd make a sweet statement even with the simplest of outfits.
Spotted Moth has often been my go-to for interesting (and affordable) jewelry. I bought these two sets of earrings about a month ago and have been wearing them nearly non-stop since then--yet since I rarely take close-ups I realized they weren't visible in any of my posts. The simple gold point earrings are a nice everyday sort of detail while I like the talons for "edgier" looks. 
Currently coveting these natural gemstones by Mineralogy. Everything is made by hand and I like the appreciation shown towards natural shapes and colors--many of the stones are uncut or unpolished. Even the combinations of stones and colors seems very organic, like the random pairings of pebbles you find on a rocky shore that has a pretty sort of kismet. Also, I really would love that geode ring in a size 5 please...
