Toxic Critters Zip WalletThis vinyl wallet decorated with animals looks so cutesy until you realize the squirrel has three eyes and the raccoon has two tails... and they're all hanging out next to an industrial plant. Somehow, it's still pretty cute anyway. The company also makes coin purses featuring your favorite mutated animals here.
$24.00, Gama-Go
Loop Express Yourself BagThis handbag is kind of scary looking, but kind of awesome. It's from Loop, one of my favorite accessories designers, and each side of the black-and-white striped bag has a different face. One side is a grinning smiley face. The other is pure wrath. You can decide which one you feel like showing to the world today.

Antique Pottery Shard NecklaceI like how this pretty necklace from Twist Style in Richmond, Virginia, looks both Victorian and modern. The pendant is made of vintage porcelain pottery, and the strand is hand-knotted cord, which is about 17-inches long, that's strung with blue Italian crystal beads.

Recycled Magazine ClutchThis clutch designed by Nahui Ollin is made of recycled paper and magazine clippings that have been covered in recycled plastic. That makes for a cool eco-friendly bag that looks sort of like a ransom note. It's definitely a conversation piece.
$100.00, MoMA Store
Geode Slice NecklaceThis necklace, designed by Peggy Li, is so beautiful. It's made of a milky slice of agate geode from Brazil, with crystals lining the center. The agate pendant is about 1.5 inches long. It comes with either a gold-fill or a sterling silver chain, in lengths of 16, 18, and 20 inches.
$59.00, Peggy Li Creations
Cerises EarringsThese 1.5-inch cherry earrings from Sweet Rhyme (a division of Rhyme and Reason Designs in Santa Barbara, California), are just too precious. They're made with sterling silver stems, red glass cherries, glass flowers, and peridot chips for leaves.

Vintage Flower BroochAdd some whimsy to corporate attire, liven up a sweater, or add a splash of color to a handbag with this funky purple '60s brooch. Orange Button has a wide selection of brightly-colored vintage brooches here.
$25.00, Orange Button
Glitter Bangle BundleIf you're going to wear multicolor glitter bangles, I think it's important go for it and wear a gob of them. This set comes with 18. The better to add sparkle to your wrist. Or whole arm.
$4.80, Forever 21
Green BanglesI love the look of these funky green resin bangles. The chunky bracelets, which are a little more than an inch thick, come in two different shades of green. And not only are the bracelets green, but they're green--a portion of the proceeds from the sale of these bangles goes to environmental causes.
$25.00 each, Red Envelope
Lemondrops NecklaceThe bright yellow beads on this choker necklace make me think of Lemonheads. Yummy. I like that there are a few white beads thrown in for visual interest. Even though they don't look as tasty.
$38.00, Anthropologie
Pink Gold BangleThis thin bangle is pretty cool looking. I like its interesting texture. It's made of beaded sterling silver that's been covered in this soft pink 18-karat gold. I think a stack of three or four of these would look amazing with an evening gown.

MapTote Tote BagOkay, the reason I think these canvas tote bags are so cool might have a little something to do with the fact that they have one representing my borough (Go, Queens!) and that the word Queens is wearing a little tiara. But the company also makes totes with maps of lots of major cities, including Portland, Chicago, and Philadelphia.
$15.00, MapTote
Paris Wings NecklaceThe Eiffel Tower would make an awesome butterfly, as this cool necklace proves. On the reverse side of the one and a half inch pendant is another image of stags holding a crown. A little Eiffel Tower charm (sans butterfly wings, unfortunately) dangles from the 18-inch chain too.
$60.00, Give Simple
Canvas Kisslock PouchAt first, I thought the pattern on this clutch was fishing net or something naval. But now all I see is chain-link fence. Which is pretty great. It makes me think of climbing over the fence at my grandmother's house when I was a kid. For some reason, climbing fences is fun when you're young. That and making forts out of couch cushions.
$16.00, Urban Outfitters
Printed Canvas San Isidro BagMaybe it's just the February blues, but the sunny, happy yellow and white polka-dots on this canvas bag are calling out to me. Plus, the bag, which is about 13 inches wide, has these cool round resin handles. I'm imagining it on my arm as I walk on a warm beach somewhere.
$58.00, J. Crew
