Tabitha Lace Fleur’T Bralet
We’re all over Lula Lu’s petite-friendly bras and lingerie, especially their Fleur’T bralette. Equally at home in the bedroom out on the town, the bralette can be worn under another lace camisole, a low v-neck sweater, or an ever-popular wrap dress.
Fun fact about Lula Lu? She believes she was a dog in her past life, as she’s terrified of loud thunder.
$34 at Lula Lu.

Holly Bag
Designer Kate Seavey conceived of her fabulous Holly bag while completing a last-minute addition to a series of sketches for a design class in college. She created the bag late one night in preparation for a presentation the next morning, and it was a hit! Kate’s good friend Holly placed the first order (of many!), and the Holly bag was born.
As versatile as it is stylish, the Holly bag can be worn casually, with a tee shirt and jeans to a Saturday afternoon matinee, or formally, with a cocktail dress while going out for drinks that same evening. For added versatility, you can choose your own fabric colors for your Holly bag–making the bag truly one of a kind!
Quirky and fun, Kate’s the kind of person we would want to invite to a dinner party. In her own words: "All of the other kids wanted to be doctors or firefighters when they grew up. I wanted to be a mermaid."

Clef de Coeur Necklace
Designer Katherine Babin loves creating jewelry with vintage finds, like this Clef de Coeur key. She’s curious about the key’s mysterious past, wondering what it was made to open–a door, a jewelry box, a hope chest, a diary?
Allow the Clef de Coeur to unlock the door to your imagination. Throw it on with some jeans and a tee for a more casual look or even a funky dress to balance out the femininity of the piece.
Fun fact about Katherine? She was in an after school special type video about anti-inhalants when she was twelve years old. Her big line: "No thanks, I don’t do stuff like that. It sounds sort of dangerous." To this day, her sisters won’t let her live that one down.
$52 each at Dejarnette.

Onyx Hoop Earrings
Designer Cathy Jordan paired these beautiful faceted onyx stones with sterling silver and gold filled hoops to evoke a "mod" 60s look. Stylish, yet simple, the Onyx Hoop earrings are one of Cathy’s best selling styles.
With 70s and 80s retro looks coming back into fashion, Cathy recommends pairing the earrings with a short skirt or skinny jeans and high boots.
Why Cathy rocks our world: When she was pregnant, her water broke in the middle of the night, and her husband was in New Orleans on business. So, instead of calling a friend to pick her up, she drove HERSELF to the hospital. Gotta love a girl with guts.
$34 at A Catherine Original.

Da Nang Vest
The poufy vest is the perfect transition piece to take you from Summer to Autumn to Winter. Wear it with a sheer tee (as shown) when the good weather starts fade, and layer it over a thick knit when the snow starts to fall.
