We’ve always believed that change is a good thing. Nothing quite brightens our day like feng shui-ing our bedrooms or trying out a new shade of lipstick. Although many people may fear and avoid it, we’re always open to a little change in our lives and our newest transformation has come in the form of jewelry. While we normally covet chunky statement necklaces (which we often layer like here) and arm parties (see here), dainty and delicate jewelry, like from Petite & Co’s Etsy shop, has been grabbing our attention lately. From the creator’s use of simple geometric shapes, to carefully chosen accent colors and surprising elements such as spikes, we love everything about Petite & Co’s design aesthetic. And not to mention the price points start at about $10 a bracelet. It’s true then, less is more.

We’re constantly stumbling upon new designers, artists, and clothing lines that inspire us by their creativity and forward-thinking ways. There are just so many talented people out there! So since we’re friends, and friends like to share things, we thought we’d start a new column, Design Love, where we can share with you all the magical discoveries we find.

We came across the incredibly talented artist and knitwear creator, Yokoo, on Etsy.com a few days ago and ever since, we cannot stop drooling over her crocheted, cloud-like creations. The designer spends about fifteen hours a day hand making scarves, hats, and other accessories while watching classic movies and sipping on warm drinks. Not a bad life eh? Although our pockets aren’t quite deep enough to afford her famous Soopascarf just yet, we have a feeling about what we might be purchasing with our first “real world” paychecks. Groceries can wait, our necks are cold.
