With the new babe in town my postings are going to be pretty brief for awhile.  It’s easier for me to do short posts of things that strike my fancy that day. So here we go with things in green that I like today.  Enjoy!

I love that the old 35mm format is making a comeback. It helps that these cameras look cute and that they are affordable (all under $150).   Each one of these cameras has it’s own unique features which makes them so fun to use. The Golden Half Camera (on the left) takes two shots at once allowing you to create your own artsy diptych photographs. The Blackbird (in the middle) takes you back to the 1920′s with its analog twin lens that gives you three different photo formats to choose from and it leaves the old school sprockets along the side of the picture when developed.  Lastly, the rubber encased Slim Angel (on the right) gives you a super saturated wide angle photo.  You can find them all online through Poketo.

Here are more pretty things to brighten up your Monday; these feminine corsages and headbands from ban.do.  There are so many ways to use these flirty designs for your up-do or your outfit. The headbands would make a great bridesmaid gift and those corsages would be the perfect flair to perk up a simple white t-shirt and jeans.  Sometimes it’s so great to be a girl!

I would love to have these pretty shades for my sunglasses collection.  The price tag is a bit of a deterrent, they are $536.00 AUD which I am pretty sure translates to “you cannot afford these” in US dollars, but a girl can dream right?  For more pretty things from designer Sretsis peep them out at Maximillia.

One of my readers Mia turned me on to Courtney Kaye’s beautiful accessories, thanks Mia! Courtney Kaye began her life in-style as a model but quickly realized her talents were better suited for jewelry design.  After studying at the FIDM in LA and interning with the fabulous Alexis Bittar she launched Courtney Kaye Design in 2009. Her gem encrusted headbands have a real art deco feel that would make the perfect accessory to your Blair Waldorf inspired outfit or any classic, tailored outfit for that matter. Courtney’s entire line is very romantic and feminine. I am in love with the long tassel necklace with rutilated quartz and the matching smoky lantern earrings. Make sure to add Courtney to your Etsy favorites, she’s one to watch!

Here are just a few of the beautiful items available from one of my new favorite online shops, Fey Handmade.  Fey Handmade specializes in what else, delightful handmade things. Christine Lindstrom, the curator of the online shop, focuses on unique pieces with a eco-conscious slant from a variety of individual artists.  I will definitely be bookmarking Fey Handmade for help with my Christmas shopping list!

But it’s these clutches, perfect for a night out or carrying makeup that have captured my heart.   $44 buckaroos right here.

Did anyone see Gossip Girl on Monday night? I died over that hat Blair was wearing! Who even wears hats like that anymore? Apparently it was an updated version of the 1920′s cloche hat by Coach and I thought it looked adorable on her, but I might be alone on this one. A quick Etsy search led me to the shop of milliner Terry Graziano and her cloche hat designs. I have no idea where I would wear one of these but now that I live in a place where I need to keep my head warm 6 months out of the year, I think it is imperative that I have one. Available here.

I have been a fan of Alexander Henry fabric ever since I first saw them on ReproDepot a few years ago and bought the Mocca pattern, which I have yet to use for a crafty project. So I was happy to see a bunch of Etsy sellers are using these whimsical and bright fabrics for their crafty projects. Here is a little selection for you to enjoy!

Clockwise from top left: Giraffe (Starbright Baby $14), Leo Pillow (Nora Jane $18) , Lemon Bib (So Bright Designs $10), Wallet (Bliss By Heather $34), Bird Apron (Dapper Duds $28), Bird Bag (Chick Bags $35)

This Summer the neck scarf is all the rage. Witness Jennifer the Queen of scarf-wear and Gisele, who’ve both been sporting them for proof. These simple and affordable options from Etsy seller Morelle are made from 100% cotton in pretty pastels, perfect for your casual summer outfit. $25 here.

These photo albums from IF’N Books + Marks with illustrations by artist Jen Corace might be cute enough to inspire me to finally organize my photo’s. $36 each. Also don’t miss her fun journals. Each limited edition journal has hand screen-printed covers with thick Italian paper and sturdy spines. Each one is part of a limited edition of 500. I think I need the pirate journal. $24 each.
