Recycled Denim Wrist Cuff
by
Lori Lynn Designs
This upcycled denim wrist cuff was created using the bottom band from a denim jacket, adding red and white polka dot ribbon and vintage lace. The cuff is 2″ wide and will fit a wrist up to 8 1/2″. It can be enlarged or shortened about 1″. If you need the size adjusted the designer is happy to do that. One of the perks of buying independent fashion, designers are usually happy to adjust things to fit.
This item is available for purchase on Smashing Darling.

Buy Baby Blue
Love, love, love the meshy sheer quality of this handmade knit by KRELwear. The fact that part of the knit glows in the dark … awesome. I can think of many fun places to where this little number. I think it would look amazing layered with other items for a more toned down, casual, street look too. Make sure to take a look at the rest of the KREL DiscGlow collection, just to make sure you’re not missing another piece that needs to be yours. All of the pieces are one of a kind and handmade, once they’re gone, they’re gone. Won’t that make you sad if you miss out. You don’t want to have your girlfriend come up to you and say, “Look what I got!” you know in that sing songy way that screams … “and you didn’t”. I’m just sayin’.
… and can’t you see Katie Holmes with her new modern, rockin’ hair wearing one of these?
