Leather Girl Ring
Traditional meets modern in this leather-gold cocktail ring. Says designer Rickina Velte: "I like to always create pieces that are unexpected, and evoke an emotion, in most cases curiosity and happiness."
Rickina suggests pairing the ring with a wildly colorful top, flattering jeans, and black boots. Or, she suggests, you can funk it up a bit and wear an ultra mini skirt, colorful leggings, ballerina flats, and a simple top.
Fun fact about Rickina? She’s a total Racer chick. Her alter ego, Rexy, drives a 2002 Subaru WRX and enjoys racing and showing up guys in their slow street compact cars!

Metal Hoop Earrings
Emily Watson is as much an artist as she is a designer. All of her production jewelry draws on structural elements from her art jewelry. And her art jewelry, specifically her enamel work, is what offers her the chance to work out both conceptual and technical ideas.
Fun fact about Emily? She and her husband have lots of animals–2 very furry samoyed dogs and 5 cats. Because her studio is attached to her house, the greatest obstacle she faces in her work is trying to keep fur out of everything she makes!

KidVisKous Heart Key Necklace
Fascinated by keys, designer Tiffany Lee was inspired to create the Heart Key necklace.
She recommends pairing the necklace with cotton or linen button down shirts with frills, lace, or neck scarves. Tuxedo style blouses, high necked knitted wrap dresses, or even simple low-necked tee shirts would also do this necklace justice.
Little known fact about Tiffany? She has an obsession with food as fashion–and loves Jeremy Scott’s junk food collection. Says Tiffany: "I painted watermelons on my shoes, I have watermelon and banana necklaces in my line, I have a skirt with a burgers and fries print."

Hope Keychain Necklace
When a few fellow indie designers had suggested coming together to create a unique campaign for October’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month – Jen of Juniper Designs quickly jumped on board – what resulted was Indie For Awareness.

Fun fact about Jen? She sips tea every afternoon in a delicate little cup while rocking to the likes of the Ramones and Sex Pistols!
Until the end of October, 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this necklace will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Breast Foundation.

Berry Stripey Boots
Karen from Plueys recommends pairing these adorable boots with dresses and leggings, or a sweater with jeans rolled up to just above the boots. Add a matching umbrella, and you’ll be set for the rainy season.
Fun Puddle Fact: There’s a science and an art to jumping in puddles - if you hit that puddle sweet spot in the middle of the puddle you get this ’swhiip-sploosh’ and optimum splash that you don’t get if you stomp in other parts of the puddle. You’ve got to practice though to get the right spot!
$21 at Plueys.
