Love the juxtaposition of clean and modern with tattered in this collection by Ann Chen. Ann's collection of organic tops was influenced by Bruce Lee's quote "Don't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow. Be like water." Each piece is moldable and can be worn many ways... 'it can look however you covet'. You can purchase at Stars.
Love this NY based clothing line, Snoozer Loser. Designer Sonia Tay creates gorgeous, flirty pieces with whimsical prints that are too sweet to pass up. Another plus??? They are really affordable! You'll want to buy everything from her Etsy shop but if you're on a tight budget snag a printed bandana for $18 or a limited edition tee for $30. 
Am I glad I hopped onto Etsy this morning! These custom clutches from LaVitaLola are just gorgeous and priced from $40-$45 to boot. The fabric options range from classic to modern, making these so easy to customize to your tastes. Check it out here and email if you're a bride looking for great well-priced bridesmaid gifts.

Adorably nostalic and simple pieces from Emily Elizabeth Jewelry. I used to eat crackers by the boxload when I was younger and yes that's what made me post this...but the prices can't be beat.Emily's pieces are made using brass, gold plate, and 14k gold fill to creat modern, feminine pieces. See her site here and get these items and more at Stars.
Love this jewelry from designer Nina Dinoff of Swizzlet; each of the pieces are cast from vintage swizzle sticks and cocktail picks! Now this is updated nostalgia...check out her site here and a wider selection at her supermarket shop.
I'm getting the store and inventory ready to launch on Wednesday so I'll be quite here today and tomorrow. Remember if you want to know as soon as we launch for first dibs (a lot of items are one-of's) email me at clothespinblog (at) gmail.com with sample sale in the subject. New designers and inventory will be added as we go into the holidays too!
These headbands from Moth Love can really take you back to your "princess dressup" days... way to replace the plastic tiara. Made from sustainable leather straps and hand plucked pheasant feathers, they are absolutely gorgeous and delicate. These are on my wishlist this year...check them out at Stars or visit Moth Love.

I love these really unique pieces from artist Stephanie Simek. Stephanie takes advantage of small collection by making each piece a layered work in itself. My favorites are the Quail Egg necklace lined in 23k gold leaf, and the powder necklace (below) which is filled with silver-colored powder that sprinkles a light dusting on the wearers chest...it even has a mini funnel. Just darling! And by the way...most of Stephanie's pieces are very affordable...really!
