Etsy Love: Tassel Necklaces With All the Flair

Tassel NecklacesWhat’s the verdict on tassel necklaces?? Are they a cool fashion statement or a tangled mess that just gets in the way?

I’m still torn on the whole trend, actually. I just can’t seem to figure out tassel necklaces. I mean, they’re colorful and whimsical and some can even be dainty, but I’m thinking they’d be really long on me if I tried to wear one — we all remember how short I am, right? The necklace would probably be down to my knees!

And yet, Etsy has come through again with some super pretty options, like this neon coral number ($23). Or, check out these four that might be starting to change my mind…

Tassel NecklacesBlue and gold, $29.75

Tassel NecklacesTibetan globe pendant, $27.10

So…can someone please explain the allure of tassel necklaces to me because I’m one stumped lady! Do you wear them, friends?? xoxo

Etsy Love: These Sweet Vintage Soda Pop Tees Are Super Delicious

vintage soda pop teesPop quiz (no pun intended): Say it’s a hot and humid summer afternoon and you desperately need to quench your thirst. You reach for an ice-cold can. What do you call that fizzy, bubbly goodness?? Soda or pop?? I only ask because these vintage soda pop tees are making my mouth water just looking at them…

I mean, we’ve already established just how much I adore all things soda pop! Case in point: When I was a teenager, we visited the World of Coca-Cola in Atlanta and, to this day, I dream of going back and immersing myself in the ultimate soda pop experience! Seriously, if you’ve never been there, I highly recommend it — and, no, this is NOT sponsored!

Anyway, I thought it only appropriate to celebrate my love of soda pop with some fashionable attire; I’ve even hinted that some soda pop tees would make a very suitable birthday present for me (*wink, wink…my birthday is less than two weeks away!), but my mom and sister didn’t seem enthused by my brilliant idea. But maybe they’ll see this post? Here are some of my favorite vintage soda pop tees picks, like this funny “It’s Called Pop, Not Soda” shirt, $25…

Etsy Love: The Cutest Cat Pins For Your Cat Lady Personality

Cat PinsI suppose my cat lady flair is coming out because I’m SO EXCITED to post about our new cat tomorrow (shoutout to Whitney!), but how adorable are these cat pins from Etsy shop Niaski…

United Kingdom-based designer Nia asks this question: “What if your favorite artists were cats?” Well, we don’t have to wonder too long because Nia gives us an answer in the form of her collection of — you guessed it! — cat pins that resemble famous painters and artists. Just a few of my favorites include Salvador Catli, above, as well as…

Isn’t that such a cool concept for an Etsy shop? Plus, the likeness to the artist is spot-on, if you ask me!! It’s the perfect blend of cat-like features and the artists’ trademark looks!!

Which is your favorite, friends?? xoxo

P.S. Remember these cute kitty mugs?

Etsy Love: Whimsical Stained Glass Feathers

Stained Glass FeathersIt’s time to be honest about something: I fully blame Facebook for my heightened Etsy addiction of late. I’ll be mindlessly scrolling through my feed and — BAM — I start seeing ads for pretty trinkets and baubles. One right after the other, so I must click on each one, naturally — I mean, wouldn’t you?? For example, take a gander at all the stained glass feathers and all their home decor possibilities from The Sweet Karma Bar…

Aren’t these items pretty?? I’d love to hang them in a place where they’d stream a lot of light and give the room a soft glow, especially at dusk during these tranquil summer nights!

Stained Glass FeathersPlus, my inner word lover can’t get enough of the shop’s tagline: “My side of the looking glass.” How’s that for an awesome play on words?!?!?

Do you have a favorite stained glass beauty, friends?? Are you a fan of the home decor look in general? xoxo
