It's Wednesday and I've fallen in love with some jewelry.

Every once in a while, I come across a designer who I feel like I "get," someone whose lightheartedness and sense of play somehow translate to their work and, because of this, I feel completely inspired to own everything they make. This is the way I feel about the jewelry from the Etsy store Make Pie Not War. It's created by a woman named Alana, who titles her

delicate, affordable necklaces, earrings and bracelets with fun names like If Vegas Was In Heaven. Today, I'm particularly insane over three of her necklaces: Crystal Goodness, Miami Vice Has A Girlfriend (heh) and, my favorite piece of all, a brass horseshoe locket called Luck of the Derby ($25!).
