Here's a cute (and affordable - only $20!) little gift idea from Etsy's Recycled Rings: the Marriage Takes Work necklace, which features a ladder, wrench, and wedding ring charm. Tongue in cheek, but very sweet (and true!).
Dan Hillier Drawings
New discovery from Spitalfields Market last weekend: Dan Hillier's macabre, nature-meets-Alice-in-Wonderland ink drawings. On my shopping list for when I get hold of a bedroom worth decorating, but until then I'm eyeing the moleskin journals and tote bags.

Fun with Corsages
Etsy designer Charm School Design posted these so-clever-it-hurts photos from a crazy corsage-themed party. Aren't they cool? I wish I were this crafty/creative.

Chim-Chim-Charoo: Mary Poppins Magnets
These mini Elloh magnets would make a terrific little gift for an old-school Disney freak like me (hint, hint). Who doesn't adore Mary Poppins...not to mention Jane and Michael...BANKS.
Change of a Dress
How dreamy is this Robins Egg dress from Etsy designer Sarah Seven? I'm in love with the wispy layers of pistachio silk, not to mention the vintage styling. I just might have to snag this for my friend's wedding in June.
Sketch Artist: Samantha Hahn's Illustrations
Man, I am totally loving the illustrated finds on Etsy. Check out Brooklyn-based illustrator Samantha Hahn's hand-drawn giclee prints, which are perfect for a perfume enthusiast (how cute would these be in an ultra-girly bathroom, or hanging over your vanity?). I also love her simple but sweet "I Love You" print...dig that feather pattern font!
Me Want: Sophomore NYC's Spring 09 Collection
I love, love, LOVE Chrissie Miller's soft spring Arizona-esque hues - peach sorbet, a minty blue - for Sophomore NYC's Spring 09 collection. Now if I can just get them to deliver to London...
Girl, Uninterrupted: Kelly Smith's Fashion Illustrations
Yesterday I showed you digital prints of Chloe Sevigny & co. Today, even more lovely "it girl" illustrations have landed on my radar, courtesy of Etsy (of course) boutique KJS Design. Australian illustrator Kelly Smith's work is, in a word, dreamy, taking inspiration from high-end fashion spreads. There's Mary-Kate Olsen looking coy, Erin Wasson in backless Balmain, and other assorted nymphs modeling designer frocks. It's all just so...pretty.You can learn more about Smith at her professional site, Birdy & Me.
Girls, Girls, Girls: August Lovers' Tributes to Chloe Sevigny, Leigh Lezark & Zippora Seven
After meeting Chloe Sevigny at London Fashion Week (twice!), I've developed a wee girl crush. So, apparently, has August Lovers, whose Etsy shop features digital illustrations not just of Chloe, but also Misshapes mistress Leigh Lezark and model Zippora Seven. Enjoy...
