Who: Mark Edge Jewelry – Atlanta, GA

What: Roadrunner Bracelet

Where: Mark Edge – $149

Why We Love It: Was difficult to select a favorite from Mark Edge’s new Eco Vintage collection, but we settled on this Vintage Roadrunner bracelet because it was something we hadn’t seen before. Such an unexpected mix of materials, with the gold roadrunner, the brass rings, the chunky crystals and the vintage beads. Fun – with a vintage roadrunner charm dangling off the clasp and yet still incredibly sophisticated. Click to continue »

What: Sundress Silk/Cotton

Where: Mel en Stel – $300 SOLD OUT

Why We Love ‘Em: The last 10 days of blah rain have really got us pining for spring – pining for color, single layers,strappy sandals and this floaty spring dress from Mel en Stel. It takes the hippie out of tie dye and transforms it into an elegant and rich fabric – it almost looks more like a block print than a tie dye. Love the contrast of the blue and white tie dye with the bold red straps.
