Etsy Detective for Curio Road: Laalee

[Click here to buy this find]

 

Wedding jewelry is tough. Do you begrudgingly respect tradition and go with Aunt Judith’s pink pearls?  Or stay on-trend and wind up looking like an Aztec warrior fresh from his local 50 Shades fan gathering.  Imagine those photo’s twenty years down the line. No regrets. Nope, not one bit…

 

Personally, I don’t think you can go wrong with pretty. And these Laalee aquamarine earrings are the prettiest little things I ever did see.  I wish I could get married all over again just so I could wear them as my ‘something new+blue.’ I can see it now…

 ~~Dream Sequence Commencing~~

Mr. Etsy Detective and I are freshly post-vows, hamming it up for the photographer and running in slow motion through a field of tall grass/wildflowers/puppies, these beautiful blue babies glinting in some hazy Instagram light…And, SCENE.

(Disclaimer: Mr. ED says no matter how pretty the earrings are, he will not be running through any fields with me to satisfy my latent wedding part deux fantasies. Sigh.)

Etsy Detective for Curio Road-The Incredible Bipedal-ble Bungee Bag

 [Click here to buy this find]

Ever notice the woman on the sidewalk looking like a Himalayan sherpa? Purse, gym bag, lunch cooler, yoga mat, bundle of pelts…whatever. A girl can get weighed down.

Enter Po Campo’s Umber Pilsen Bungee Bag.  Weather resistant, reflective and downright attractive, the bag comes with its own built-in bungee cords for secure attachment to your two wheeler.  Even better? The design.  I love a good piece of waxed cotton canvas. Always have, always will.

Now I just need to shake the rust off that vintage Schwinn cruiser I spent months locating but never ride because I live at the top of a hill and hit the road in streamlined style with my incredible bipedal-ble bungee bag!

Po Campo Pilsen Bungee Bag. $65. Curio Road.

Etsy Detective For Curio Road: Leatherwraps Indian Sun Leather Bangles

{Click here to buy this find}

As a new mom, my style has become, shall we say, relaxed.  I’m rocking ‘ombre’ hair, a ‘natural’ face, and jeans so distressed they need a tissue.

So it makes me giddy to find accessories that elevate an outfit without a whole lot of effort.  Stormy Baker’s leather bangles in Indian Sun check this box for me.  You get a wrist full of delicate leather bangles in two thirds of my favorite color combination- white, camel and gold.  Pair the bangles with a slouchy white tee, white jeans and a killer tan and you’ve got  yourself a nice little Saturday.

Indian Sun Leather Bangles. $23. Leatherwraps for Curio Road.
