While sorting white pieces of silk, lace, and satin, designer Krista Raak noticed how many different shades of white there are. Inspired, she set out to create a wearable composition of these pearly shades.
Her "Blanca" sash looks sweet with a simple outfit, complementing white or cream details and adding a hint of romance and femininity. She’s worn her personal "Donna" with jeans and a vintage white crochet top. Krista also recommends pairing the sash with a 1920s inspired ivory colored dress.
Krista has always loved crafting, taking items from "dull" to "beautiful. Case in point: When she was twelve, she was inspired to paint her white shoes to make them more "Interesting." Krista had finished three pairs of shoes before she called her mom to introduce her to this great new shoe collection, at which point she went from shoe designer to shoe scrubber.

Designer Betsi Goutal is tickled by how cute and cheerful the bunnies are on her Bunny Jewel ring.
So, go on, add a bit of cheer to your day. Pair the Bunny Jewel ring with a cute print tee and jeans for a dressed down look, or a big fluffy skirt, romantic top, and colorful necklaces for a fairy princess look.
Bet you didn’t know: When Betsi was very young, Mother Nature blessed her with rainbows in the sky over her street for two or three birthdays in a row. When her next birthday rolled around rainbow-free, she was so disappointed that she’s not sure she’s ever recovered.
$5 each at Zlanarama.

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.

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."
$65 at Stuff By Kate.

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.
