Kiko Ninja Doll
Says designer Alessandra Lopez-Kiely of the inspiration behind the doll, "We kicked, whined and screamed [about] the crazy festivals/lectures/exhibits my mother dragged us to as kids. But now we’re blessed with a very rich appreciation for many different cultures." Her brother Kiko and her both love ninja movies (and even the really old Jackie Chan movies).
Fun fact about Alessandra? She was born the year of the monkey, which explains her love of the silly. She loves creating products that make people (especially adults) giggle!
Thanks, Julie, for the tip!

Onyx Miram Necklace
Looking through old photos with her mom, designer Taylor Conner was inspired to create the Miram necklace. "My mom used to tie ribbons in my hair when I was a kid, and I was inspired to bring some of the playfulness of childhood into my work."
Taylor believes that jewelry should be inherently versatile, and she recommends pairing the necklace with anything from a wear-to-work suit to a wifebeater and jeans.
Goofy fact about Taylor? She can’t walk on moving escalators. She gets freaked out and has been known to fall over!
$180 at Polished Lemons Luna Collection.

Brenna Copper Necklace
The classic shapes in nature juxtaposed against the romantic colors of Autumn inspired designer Courtney Galler to create the Brenna necklace.
The versatile piece can be paired with anything from a casual chic white button down and jeans to a powerful suit for the office. Courtney adds, "For a very of-the-moment look, pair Brenna with layers of beaded necklaces or chains in various lengths to make your own signature look."
Fun fact about Courtney? She has a very vivid imagination…and she has a strong fear of Spontaneous Human Combustion. Seriously.

Evelyn Handbag
Designers Meghan Parsons and Manuel Opp of jack&marjorie combine Italian military surplus materials (wool blankets, parachutes, and webbing) with feminine materials like vintage lace, brocade, and buttons to create one-of-a-kind handbags. We love their Evelyn handbag for its sophisticated marriage of materials.
Introducing jack&marjorie to us is Beklina, who runs her namesake family-owned and women-operated boutique that hand selects the best sustainable styles out there.
Beklina recommends pairing the Evelyn handbag with black skinny leg organic Loomstate jeans or an ivory alpaca wrap dress with tall brown leather boots.
Fun fact about Beklina? She’s obsessed with peacock feathers, and she draws a picture of a bird on every package she sends out for safe traveling.
$150 at Beklina.

Petals Pendant
Designer Jessica Poundstone wanted to incorporate her love of fun colors and modern botanical motifs into her wardrobe without giving up her head-to-toe black uniform. The solution? Her Petals Pendant.
The Petals Pendant can be dressed up (with a Little Black Dress) or dressed down (with jeans and a tee). But since it’s such a focal point, Jessica recommends keeping earrings simple–hoops, studs, or simple black drops look great.
Something you didn’t know about Jessica? She’s laughed her way through the Steve Martin movie L.A. Story at least 50 times.
$25 at Jewelry by Jessica.
