Trendspotting: Etsy Designer Vintage

If you weren't in the know already, I want to let you in on one of Etsy's best kept shopping secrets: designer vintage fashion. Vintage looks have been topping the best dressed lists across red carpets this season and won't be going out of style anytime soon; think classic, rare, and timeless. It's practically a cat fight to the checkout button in the marketing corner of the Etsy office anytime one of us comes across a newly listed vintage designer bag, dress, pair of tall boots or pumps.

Find the full post on sniffing out the designer brands in Etsy Vintage along with a smattering of my current finds on Kaboodle.com.

Trendspotting: Fingerprint Jewelry

One of this season's hottest jewelry trends emerging via Etsy designers is personalized fingerprint jewelry. You heard me right, there are an exclusive selection of jewelry designers working to preserve your own (or a loved one's) true fingerprint permanently in precious metals including silver, gold, and platinum.

These one-of-a-kind pieces are truly something unique that is sure to leave your stamp in time for generations to come. I'm seeing them being carefully created for events and special occasions like weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, graduations, Father's Day, and Mother's Day. There are even a couple versions capturing the paw or nose print of those furry family members!
