We are thrilled to be carrying new handcrafted jewelry from NYC based designer Vivid. Her brass and clay earrings come in such simple geometric studs but pop with mouthwatering Summer colors. We love her turquoise greens, peaches and bright blues for every day or to bring a small punch of color into your outfit, her studs range from $24-28.

Penny Stock was created as a byproduct of our current global recession, as a clever reaction to the downturn of the global marketplace. The brand is designed by John Moore & Michael Abbey in Culver City, California. They focus on iconic style at a true value, defining a new modern day symbol of status. All of us ladies were jealous of Penny Stock’s great designs & fabrics for guys carried at Stripe MEN.  Luckily, Penny Stock recognized that behind all great men, there is a strong woman, and introduced Pretty Penny for us ladies.  We love the classic silhouette in the ballerina dress, $112. It’s a trip straight to a tennis court in 1964, and the only thing missing is a mint julep in one hand.

And for Santa Cruz chilly evenings, we are happy that Pretty Penny offers this lovely geometric jacquard sweater, $128. What a great layer paired with shorts or worn with your favorite skinny jeans.

Dusen Dusen Claire Dress, $170

Dusen Dusen Babydoll Dress, $228
