Weekend Etsy Picks

I think that Isaac Mizrahi’s giant flower corsages and Sarah Jessica Parker’s flowers from Sex and the City have seeped into my brain…

I was browsing through Etsy this morning, looking for our Weekend Etsy Pick when this gem caught my eye. Don’t get me wrong – it’s a lot of look, but I love the playfulness and sheer exuberance:

This piece by Big Frozen Melon is a mix between a really skinny scarf and an enthusiastic lariat necklace. The flower itself is made from felted Merino wool, with stitched bead accents in the center of the flower. The necklace/scarf is crocheted cotton, and at almost six feet long, has plenty ways to wear it.

Big Frozen Melon also creates felted handbags and hair accessories with their large felted flowers. They also make some lovely wedding accessories, everything from little flowers to the same style of necklace as the one I’ve shown – just in white.

These Flowers are Guaranteed Not to Fade!

Feminine flowers are showing up on accessories everywhere these days!

Soft and pretty or bold and graphic, flowers can add a touch of fresh, spring style to almost any accessory.

Valentino created this leather tote with metallic leather and accented it with lush flowers, made in the same leather:

The leather flowers on Carlos Falchi’s purse add a fun 3-D accent and the colors keep it fresh and perfect for springtime style:

Or you could go for drop-dead gorgeous with Judith Leiber’s “Morning Dew” hand-finished clutch purse:

Are You a “Flower Girl”?

I can’t help it – I love accessories with flowers on them.

Maybe it’s because they only grow for a few months of the year here, or maybe it’s just because they’re pretty…

Whatever it is, I can’t help but smile when I see cheerful accessories like this hand-woven floral belt:

It’s woven and embroidered using wool by Peruvian artisans (in a fair-trade co-op). I think it would be the perfect accessory to your favorite pair of jeans and a nice, crisp white blouse.

Okay, okay – I promise that I’ll chose another topic tomorrow, but these hair clips from Cutecumber have flowers and ladybugs on them! How cute are these?
