Captain 3-D Glasses

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

Stacks-3D-Shades$48 at Stacks

A friend of mine brought these to my attention – a pair of 3-D glasses that isn’t terribly ugly!

If you’re going to invest in a 3-D television, then you can afford to pick up something a little nicer for your viewing pleasure. I still think it’s crazy that everyone will have to have their own individual pair to watch 3-D television. :/

These 3-D glasses, which are circular polarized, come with a black microfiber case. For that price, they’d better!

Bike Rides in a Dress Necklace

Sunday, August 2nd, 2009

bike-necklace$38 at soitsgray [Etsy]

I bought a beach cruiser to ride around the Playa later this month. So this bicycle necklace caught my eye as I was browsing around Etsy.

If I was rolling with a little extra cash right now, my next purchase would be this – bike rides in a dress necklace from soitsgray. It’s absolutely stunning for being so simple. A sterling silver bicycle hanging on silver plated chain with fresh water pearls.

The best part? It’s handmade!

Obi Buckle

obi-buckle$10 at Gamiworks [Etsy]

Random cute find on Etsy – ladybugs! The Obi Buckle is created using lacquered Japanese chiyogami (old-paper) and high quality polished nickel mechanisms (polished brass finish is also available). The buckle is 1 7/8″ x 2 5/8″. Obi belts are sold separately for $10 each, so what you can do is buy one belt and attach varying buckles!

For all the vegetarians and vegans out there, all Obi Belts & Buckles are made using no animal byproducts. Check out the other designs!

marshmallow-bag$8.50 at Envirosax

I don’t know about you, but even if something was made FOR kids, I’d still go and buy it for myself. I’m a kid at heart, what can I say?

These adorable bags are 17.70” x 15.75” when unrolled, and because they are made of polyester, they’re lightweight and durable. If you are looking for a gift for the young ones, it’s never too early to shop with reusable shopping bags!

Owl Necklace

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

owl-necklace$15 at Crowded Teeth

Look at this awesome necklace! I know quite a few people who absolutely love owls, and this would be perfect for them. The pendant’s made of zinc alloy, nickel free, shiny silver metal and enamel! It comes with a chain of 18 inches and a little black velvet bag. Personally, I like the extra red of the flowers. It adds a nice touch.

Plus, it’s on sale! Instead of $24, Crowded Teeth is selling this beautiful 1.5×1.5 inch pendant for $15.

Cassette Tape Ring

cassette-ring$7 at Plastique* [Etsy]

This 3mm laser-cut ring made of acrylic brings me back to the day of the mixtape!

I remember when I used to sit there with a cassette tape in the deck, waiting for a song I liked to come on the radio. I’d have one finger on the record button, the other on the stop button, ready to capture the song onto tape.

vict-choker-front$15 at Hexotica [Etsy]

This beautiful choker designed by Christine Rice is made of black satin ribbon, burgundy scalloped picot lace, a hand-stitched black lace ruffle and rosette, and a black sequin center. It measures approximately 11×1.2 in. More precisely, 28×3 cm.

vict-choker-backCheck out the back of this! It closes corset-style with eyelets and lacing! This piece is meant to be one-size fits all.

I am particularly proud of this find and actually own this one already. There are other great designs posted on the Etsy site if you’re into this style.
