Here's yet another necklace watch. These things are everywhere, but I do think it's classier to tell time with your necklace than your cell phone--which is how I've been doing it these days. I like how this ladybug's wings open up to reveal the watch. Plus, the price is low enough that you won't feel horrible if this fad dies out next month.

I love the golden sparkle of these citrine earrings. The citrine drops are decorated with a little fringe of golden garnets. The earrings are a little less than an inch long.

This canvas bag is a little wonky, but I like it. The color combination is fun, and it has an interesting, almost feminine shape. It's kind of big too--about a foot wide. It's definitely something that has the potential to upstage the rest of your outfit in a bad way, but I think it still makes for a cool day bag.

This handmade necklace by Sharma Designs in San Jose, California, is gorgeous. It's made from pretty brown, aqua, and turquoise beads, and it has a nifty round maple pendant. The necklace measures about 15 inches. This would look great with a nice summery dress and some sandals.

This 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.

This 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.

This 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.

This 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.

If 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.
