As the holidays edge ever closer, the DIY gods smile down upon us ever often. Or such is the case so far this month. There have been more creative DIYs than I can keep track of, but these ten have stuck in my mind. Have you seen any great projects lately?

Camp Brand‘s shop is chock full of the kind of apparel just begging for a fun day spent outdoors and around a campfire come nightfall. Messy hair, glasses, and thermoses are all welcome.

Big things are happening over at Yellow Owl Workshop! They’ve got a handful of new pendant necklaces, a new site design, AND a new blog geared towards the DIY-er. Now that’s a great trifecta.

Tired of your beard smelling like an average office-dwelling man’s? Take your scent outdoors with Campfire Cologne! Just light a stick of cedar, oak, or birch wood then waft it around your facial hair. Tade! Insta-mountain man. And you know how the ladies love that. Respect the Beard!

I am sooo excited about Cursive Design’s Fall/Winter 2012 collection! Sarah focused on monochromatic colors and simple shapes and I couldn’t be a bigger fan. In fact, I even wore the prototype of the reincarnated Color Theory necklace to the HP Designer Matchup reveal earlier this month and received many compliments. Everything will be in the shop starting today!
Posted In jewelry, wear itOh hey, Autumn. Did you know you’re my favorite? Your moderately warm days and chilly nights are the perfect combination. And your colors? Don’t even get me started. You make me miss the northeast like mad and count your numbered days from the start. You also make me a layering fool who’s obsessed with creating her own autumnal palette, this year I’m seeing a brilliant mix of brights and neutrals all playing together like a bunch of falling leaves.

Stone & Honey‘s latest collection, Arcos, abandons the rough edges and stones previously embraced by their pieces in favor of the basics. Brass, torch, hammer, and thread. The color palette is a perfect match for the cooler months that are just about upon us, and the curved arches that dominate the collection are beautifully feminine. Classics in the making, no doubt.

I’ve been waiting for Little Paper Planes to release the Uniforma Collection for what feels like years, but in reality has probably only been a few months. (I’m a good one for exaggeration.) Kelly Lynn Jones has a superb eye that I knew would translate beautifully to her own pieces. And I was right. The first three products are pocket wallets, camera straps, and art pouches (purses). All are available in four colors: brown, cucumber, watermelon, and blueberry and made of genuine lambskin with brass hardware.
