Etsy Finds : Jewlery & Prints

I love Etsy, I can spend hours surfing in vintage shops, handmade jewelery or amazing photos, Etsy is a real treasure chest where everyday you can find something new to fall in love with!!
Today I'd love to share with you 2 lovely shops that I've found while surfing on blogs :
By MaryJaneFrances and My Fine Garden by SLG designs .

I'm in love with MaryJane jewelery, every piece in unique and has the real hippie style that I love so much, I can almost see my self dancing in the Woodstock field while wearing her amazing creations!! For my readers MaryJane will offer free shipping, just send her a convo so she can adjust the invoice.

Bohemian style and a life long passion for vintage are the common threads running through all of the one of a kind and limited edition items created by Mary Jane Hunter, designer. A jeweler by trade, Mary Jane was able to translate her formal design training from The Fashion Institute of Technology NYC, and jewelry industry experience, into her love of all things hippie, ethnic, and natural; creating things that she herself wanted but was unable to find in the marketplace. Mary Jane uses mainly vintage trinkets / fabrics and natural materials; leather, suede, feathers, flowers, crystals, wood etc. to create her bags, accessories, headbands, and jewelry. The use of vintage material also creates less impact on the environment, which is of great importance to Mary Jane. Mary Jane currently resides in Greenport, NY with her husband, Robert, and their daughter Arbor . website http://bymaryjane.com/

I highly reccomend you to visit her store, site and blog ,she has an unique style that I'm sure you'll love!! Here some pics of her creations, it's very hard to pick only few , all the pieces are very beautiful just check out her Etsy shop and you'll see!!

"I'm drawn to cotton candy colors. I love light and a good diptych. I can talk about flowers all day and I'm sad when I can't garden. I believe life is what you make it, you can write your own story. And I know there is magic in my little cottage between the lake and the falls"

To celebrate her first blog anniversary she offer 25% off in her shop until midnight central time on May 20th, so guys hurry up and check her dreamy prints!! This selection of pics that I'm posting is very small on her blog and in Shanon shop there're more amazing prints, here some of my fav:

Go Maxi!

One of the best thing about summer are maxi dresses!! I've tons and I wear them in many different ways, for an office look I wear a shirt under the dress, flats and jeans jacket or a little blazer, for casual look add wedes lots of jewelery, hoops and a vintage bag, for the evening I use jeweled sandals lots of shimmer powder on my shoulder and "strong" jewelery. I really love how a simple dress can make me feel pretty and feminine and it's very easy to get dresses without looking "overdressed". I've bought some cute maxi dresses at this winter sales (I need to save every cents now!!) and I'm in love with those from Net a Porter, I can't affort them right now but I'll find some similar in vintage stores.
