Hello everyone!

I kid you not when I say that I actually searched for "ridiculous" when looking for today's ridiculously awesome item. Needless to say, that search led me to this "hot mess" as described by the creator, polygnome.

"I Didn't Know When to Stop" is a one of a kind wristlet clutch embellished to the extreme. It's got a lot on it but it's still very cohesive and all the components work very well together. And it's all sectioned off on the inside for credit cards and cash and whatnot!

And if you like this one, you'll also love its sister clutch!

I think it's the whole "back to school" deal that's got me looking at sweaters on Etsy these days. But hey, it's never too early to start your fall shopping! And since I'm a sucker for sweaters and anything gray, this cashmere sweater by movieboyproductions was an easy choice.

This "Asymmetrical Mosaic Couture Cashmere Sweater" is one of many sweaters in the shop handmade from different pieces of cashmere. They have interesting style lines, hand embroidered details, and lots of movement. Movie Boy has sweaters in lots of different colors and styles. Each one is detailed and one of a kind, meaning you're getting a very unique, ridiculously awesome piece!

Get out your tiny pencil for today's super adorable item! It's a tiny book from the Etsy shop of RuthBleakley who carries many hand bound books and works of art in her shop.

Now I know pretty much nada about book binding, but I can imagine that trying to put together something so tiny when you're used to working in much larger sizes is quite the task! Plus the goldfish in "Two Fish Talking" are so fun!

Ruth's accordian books, also found in her shop are so well done, as well as her pocket journals, like this Kyoto-Higashiyama one. Definitely worth a look around the shop!

So I moved to Brooklyn a few weeks ago (woo!) Which was pretty hectic, hence the lack of updating. But in celebration of me now living in the Big Apple I am posting a ridiculously awesome item inspired by Brooklyn, that is also made by a Brooklyn artist!

And that artist is resurface. She does ridiculously awesome things like printing photographs onto lampshades. This one, called "HI-LIGHT Pendant Lamp" features some of Brooklyn urban graffiti, as does many of her other lamps. And trust me, you can never run out of inspiration when it comes to graffiti in New York.

Resurface has successfully turned seemingly grungy Brooklyn graffiti into an urban-chic lampshade. And there are many, many other ridiculously awesome shades where this one came from!
