We went to the opening of the Randolph Street Market this weekend to check out the hodgepodge of vendors, ranging from the mundane to the bizarre. You can find antiques, jewelry, vinyl, local indie designer clothing, and a million things you never knew existed. We saw antique suitcases and birdcages, lava lamps, action figures and pottery recovered from a shipwreck. And a lot of sunburns; don't forget the sunscreen, folks!

Our love of Chicago paraphernalia continues. This handmade cuff bracelet, $32, dresses up or down.

For our part, we've never found diamonds that interesting. Sure, they're sparkly, but they also spark war and social injustice. Give us a brilliant blue sapphire or glittering ruby for our precious jewels. We love the jewelry on Recycled Rings because it joins our love of re-imagining traditional rings and the knotted designs with tiny beads sewn in are unique and wonderful (like the Middlebury ring, shown).

You may have noticed that we're suckers for bright colors—in our wardrobe, our homes and our jewelry. So when we saw PetitOiseau's miniature Bakelite picture frames (pictured), we fell in love. The small size is perfect for a coin or stamp or doodle.

We're of the firm opinion that, while you can have too much of almost everything, this rule does not apply to accessories. Especially when those accessories happen to be gorgeous natural stone pendants, vintage pins and colorful key chains. We especially love this "All Eyes On You" filigree necklace (pictured).

What a weird, cool bracelet from the 1933 World's Fair.

Now that we're finally getting nice weather, it's time to stop wearing that gray sweater you've had on all winter and decorate yourself with bright baubles. We like to make it a personal mission to make ourselves look like a bunch of crazy wildflowers. Local Mom O Matic's Automat is helping us in our quest with their vintage buttons and plastic bits transformed as fun, bold jewelry (we adore this church basement charm bracelet, pictured).
