Fashion Week: Miss Eileen’s Etsy Picks 9.9.11

September is such an important month. Not only is it National Sewing Month but the autumnal equinox occurs, school begins, the Jewish High Holidays are during September, and last, but in no way least, Fashion Week just started. For someone like me, not quite the fashionista, Fashion Week is something that happens in NY and will filter down to my local Wally World eventually, but to a fashionista like my beloved daughter, it is a downright cause for celebration. Lucky her, this year she is going to be in NY for fashion week. Nice. Hope she sends me pictures. I would like to know what I might be wearing (or most likely NOT wearing) next year.
In any case, I’ve been looking around Etsy again for some of the coolest shops with the most wonderful items. I learned a long time ago that cool designs will be copied and mass produced too soon by folks in other lands. Often you will find the coolest on sites like Etsy and Artfire.
Here’s what I found.
 

Black Leather with Metallic Blue Bow Tie Necklace 14 inch Length Beautiful Repurposed Leather Silver Chain Accessory by A Little Leather

Bows are classic but I like the use of leather. A little different but still traditional. Cute and understated.

 Blue Inductor Earrings by GeekkiBoutikki

I still can’t get over the idea these beautiful earrings were once electronic parts. Recycled is always chic.

                                                         Swirly Pop Felt Bag by YUMMI by CraftasticParties Love the use of color in this bag. Brings a smile to my face whenever I see it.

 

Cranberry Small Pleasures Mini Shoulder Bag by LBArtworks 

 Love the design and the use of natural wood for buttons and hardware.

Paisley Ink Iku Dress Baby Doll Style by ThreeLittleDucksAust 

A style from the 60’s updated. Love it!

 

Stepping Out Black Faux Fur and Leather Spats by KimKatBags 

Good way to change the look of shoes and these are cool!

Bolero Jacket Shrug In Black Trimmed with Elegant Black Chinese Silk Long Sleeved by PixiePocket

Beautiful shrug that graces any dress it is worn with.

 

Empress Style Dream Coat by Enlightened Platypus Amazing coat!

OK, those are my picks. What do you think?
