Chic Design Cafe

I cannot remember the last time I did an Independent Designer or Shop feature here on my blog, but I have missed it so much. There are so many awesome people creating fantastic and fabulous things and sometimes I just have to acknowledge them. That being said the Etsy shop Peace Love Beach wowed me with their chic and modern cuff bracelets. A simple outfit can go from average to fashion forward with the right accessories. Statement pieces make a statement and these cuff bracelets say "Chic." The cuffs are sleek and have really hip patterns and prints. Give your thin stacking bracelets a break and consider a cuff bracelet! Visit Peace Love Beach on Etsy. http://www.etsy.com/shop/PeaceLoveBeach All photos are owned by Peace Love Beach .

Bright colors can lift your spirits so when I placed my peepers on the signature pattern of the tableware of Mary Gallimore Studios I felt happy. The pattern of her designs are intriguing like a puzzle and very modern. I can see them brightening up any entertaining opportunity.

Ombre is a trend that is really happening now. I have seen this look on finger nails, hair and now I have seen it in tights. The Esty shop Xsilk  is ready to dress your legs in Ombre. They have a variety of colors of tights and carry other Ombre items as well.

If you have seen the movie "The Hunger Games" you will understand why the necklace from Etsy Shop Fable and Lore is so witty. The main character Katniss of this movie is superbly skilled with a bow and arrow and navigating herself through the wilderness. This wearable terrarium will be a conversation starter as this heroine was so popular. For more info on this unique item visit Fable and Lore .

It is the season to attend parties of all types and wear the cutest cocktail dresses and frocks. When you step out to party the night away or jingle and mingle; a girl must have a fabulous little clutch to carry her phone and beauty touch up tools. There are so many choices out there, here are a few: I saw this handmade beauty in the etsy store Lireca . This golden girl was found in the etsy store Bellede Benoir . These metalic clutches were discovered at Target.com. What can I say but grab a clutch and go be merry.

I absolutely love the aprons made from the cheery fabrics of this independent designer. The aprons are made from handmade cloths from Anna Maria . Her fabrics bring a wonderful feeling of happiness through her use of bright colors and pleasing patterns. Her designs can brighten your day!
