spinthread.
spinthread has been making its rounds for a few months now, but it wasn’t until I saw Erin’s necklace in person at the Alt Summit that I really fell for Lorena’s work. And wow, have I fallen hard. I love her attention to detail and all the vibrant color combinations she uses.

Warby Parker.
I need new glasses something awful. I keep putting a new pair on my To Buy List and they keep getting nudged further and further on down.
But then I came across Warby Parker. And Cailin. And I think it’s meant to be. Especially since frames and lenses are only $95. New glasses? Check. I wonder if that adorable comes with…

Bittersweets NY.
I give up. Nearly every time I spot a piece of jewelry I just have to have on Shiny Squirrel it’s from Bittersweets NY. I’m especially enamored with their ring selection. So delicate and smart.

Paperleaf Eyelashes.
Inspired by the Chinese art of paper-cutting, Paperleaf’s fashion eyelashes are a detailed statement of delicate. Although I’m quite sure my eyes would start watering the moment they were adhered to my eyelids. Yes, I’m a baby.

Yellowfield7 Hats.
I’m all about bringing retro pieces back into the swing of things. Like these gorgeous hand-draped cloche hats inspired by early 20th Century American fashion (AKA the 1920s) by Behida Dolić. The navy with the feather? To die for. {via Something Old, Something New}

The Perfect Suit.
Clockwise from top left: Stacked Odds Bikini, En Pointe Bikini,Natalie One Piece, Sun-spots One Piece
Bathing suit, that is. And no big surprise here, the best of the best all seem to be at Anthropologie. And although I have no business even looking twice at the top two, I’m fairly certain I could rock the socks off one of the ones on the bottom. Yes, yes I could.

Castor & Pollux Wallets.
I adore the classic design and colors of these wallets from Castor & Pollux. If someone twisted my arm behind my back and said that I could pick only one I’d go with the jade. But I’d still try to talk them into buying me one of each.

Paper Garlands Necklaces.
Lauren Manoogian’s Paper Garlands necklaces make me scream-from-the-rooftops happy. Colorful paper garlands strung on a leather cord with hand-painted wooden beads. Yay. {via Greedy Girl}
