That's because they were actually cast from real maple leaves by Michael Machaud, who has perfected the art of creating beautiful jewelry and table art based on nature. The Michael Michaud Jewelry line includes lovely necklaces, bracelets, brooches, and earrings. These are $64.

I'm on a search for things to keep us warm and fashionable in this wintery chill that's going around. And the New York Etsy shop Terry Graziano Hats definitely got my attention. These are classically designed, yet ultra stylish, head-warming, head-turning hats.
When you buy one, you get at least three, because Terry Graziano builds in design options that let you suit the hat to your current mood--and attitude. This one (yes, both pics are of the same hat), Accomplice, is shown in a wool/mohair blend. It's $154.

If your idea of a raincoat is a basic waterproof trench coat, let me introduce you to Iris Mansard. Calling herself the Raincoat Lady, Iris Mansand designs raincoats that don't have to wait for rain. Made from a fabric that she calls futuristic, Iris Mansard designs are really wear-anytime-you-want-to coats. Which makes them perfect for practical types like me who always figured the only people who need to invest in a raincoat are those who live in the Pacific Northwest. (That's before I moved from California to Memphis.)
