Upcycled Warmth

My apartment is freezing today. One of the not-so-great aspects of renting: I have no control over my heat! On days when it's not so chilly out our landlord will have the heat blaring, and then for days like today when it's chilly and icy out, the radiator is cold to the touch. Bah! I picked out some wonderful upcycled accessories to help warm up my mind and soul for today, as conventional methods of heating seem to be out of the question...

Pocket Punk

LindaEve created this rebellious purse from old pants and other upcycled materials. Way to rage against the mainstream machine in style!

As Unique as They Come!

Fisheye has totally wowed me with this fabulous scarf, reconstructed from old wool sweaters into this gorgeous upcycled winter accessory! I want TEN of them!

Heart Handmade

Literally, handmade hearts that you can wear! These adorable brooches are recycled from vintage fabric. While I'm personally no fan of the mixture of chocolate and mint flavors, I'm 100% for the mixture of these colors! This wonderful design is by pouch and is quite affordable at $4.50 a brooch.

Cuff Me Up!

Yeah, that sounds a bit kinky, but I assure you it's not intentional. I'm simply too enamored with this wrist cuff, made from a recycled leather belt, to censor myself. It makes sense too, that something so sensationally devised from a used belt, was put forth by a shop called greenbelts.

This "Suits" Me Just Fine

I've gotta give it up to mandinka for coming up with this rad scarf made of an old men's suit. The pockets on it are the tipping point for me. It's just WONDERFUL. I think any dude would totally dig this item, not to mention plenty pocket-obsessed gals like myself.

One of the latest rages on Etsy that I've noticed in recent weeks is the steampunk look. And I must say, I can see why it's caught on.



The above cuff links by dustDesignCo are made from recycled vintage watches, and give you that late 18th century Industrial Revolution meets sci-fi fantasy feel.

Seriously, do a little dance for these beautiful twisted bracelets, made of recycled telephone wires in an eye-popping array of colors!

Cork is Pretty Cool!

Ottoman is a shop that sells, among other things, pendants made from wood burned cork:



Some interesting facts about cork that Ottoman shares in this item's listing...

Cork is a renewable resource that is harvested from the Cork Oak (Quercus suber) approximately every 10 years after which a new cork layer regrows; therefore, the trees are not cut down. The cork industry also supports thousands of individuals as the cork is harvested by hand. Cork forests also provide homes to endangered species and endemic plants.

2Revert all the way! Any shop that sells beautiful jewelry made from recycled skateboards has my vote!
