So cute for spring and from Sprout Studio. Make sure to check out the handmade lovelies.

I received a tip about Rust Designs this morning and I just had to share it right away! Rust Designs makes small-batch specialty ceramic products including dinnerware and decorative objects. They have a great personalized gift line for births and birthdays, weddings and anniversaries, and other special occasions. I really like the personalized family tree plate, the personalized mugs, the personalized silhouette plates, and the blossoms dinnerware.

In an effort to buy more indie, as opposed to big box store, products I am trying to find a new perfume to replace the one that I’ve used for about 6 years (So Pink by Gap). I was checking out mi SPA’s great line of bath and body products and saw that they have a Roll-on Perfume, so I thought I would try it out. I tried the JUK scent, which is a delicious blend of bamboo and cedar entwined with lemon, tangerine & ginger. I like clean, refreshing scents and this one fits the bill. If JUK doesn’t sound like your thing, try Chocolate Truffles. Mango Iced Tea, Sake (I want to try that one next), Peony Blossoms, Lychee, Yuzu or Green Tea. The roll-on perfume is great for your purse and they are only $12.50, so you can afford to buy several and match your scent to your mood.

I received my Sampler in the mail the other day and looking through my goodies I came across a postcard from Art Ghost. Seattle artists and independent designers, Eric Adler and Liz Wong are the talents behind Art Ghost and I am just smitten with their fun, quirky style. I really like the adorable Hey DJ! Striped Handmade Purse by Liz Wong. Their greeting cards are also just the kind of off-beat cards I like to give, especially Drink to the Pain and I Can’t Wait For the Valium to Hit. 

In the last installment in my Cover Yourself Spring Fashion series I bring you, ANGeLRoX. Created by the design talent of Roxi Suger, the ANGeLRoX line embodies comfort, versatility and timeless style. Her wrap dress/skirt/cape/shrug is designed to be worn in any way that you can imagine. Made of rayon jersey, it looks like the most comfortable garment in the entire world. I love that you can inflect your own personal style into your look, not by adding accessories or other clothing pieces, but by varying how you wear the wrap. It’s available in black, slate, granite, steel blue and moss. Add a little versatility to your wardrobe!

When Pamela of Poppi Swim first contacted me about her swimsuit line back in January, I thought, “There is no way in hell that my readers what to hear about swimwear right now when it’s 150 degrees below zero and there’s twelve feet of snow outside. I will hold onto this little gem.”

But now, with the temperatures warming it seems entirely possible that we may once again desire to shed our clothing, throw on our suits, and head to the beach or the pool. Of course, you need the perfect suit and with figure flattering retro-inspired styles, Poppi Swim has the perfect suit for every woman out there. There are one and two piece styles designed not only look good around the pool, but actually be comfortable and functional. Available in sizes XS-XL with custom-sizing as well.
