As a blogger, a style addict and a shopper who enjoys the thrill of the hunt, I'm continually in search of originality to sate my design thirst. (I guess you could call it style ADD.) New workings of classic looks never fail to get my attention. Get out of your rut and into a fresh aesthetic with today's collection of trend-focused Etsy Finds.
Bring an exotic bent to your wardrobe with the vibrant patterns of tribal inspired clothing and accessories. Look for fringe, feathers, geometric and animal prints, and jewelry inspired by ancient artifacts.

Depression Era Design
Invoke the authenticity of a simpler time with the functional designs of 1930s interiors. This collection was inspired by the Whistle Stop Cafe of Fried Green Tomatoes fame. Reclaimed barn wood, etched mirrors, Mason jars, globe lamps and cozy rag rugs add to the primitive feel.

The Modern Warrior
The Mayan calendar's end is quickly approaching (2012!), and post-apocalyptic fashion is here to greet it. The modern warrior look takes crucial style cues from Mad Max, with rugged and distressed details fit for dystopia. Prepare to get tough (and look good doing it) while fighting off a zombie or two.

You captured the essence of each style, Alison. Beautiful! My tastes are widely eclectic but always drift back to antique & vintage simplicity. That said, I'm still smitten by good old turquoise & silver jewelry plus authentic tribal design.

Love the "shoe bling" from PeaceImages! They're a bit over-the-top for life in rural Vermont, but so are my 5" platform pumps (they provide excellent traction in icy conditions!) :P

While I enjoyed this article, but I think Etsy could use a global trend report. It's fine to march to your own drummer, but what happens when you need to go to a job interview with a pretty snazzy/snarky company? (been there. Yikes).
Someone should talk about how pearls, statement necklaces, belts, and prominent shoulders are all the rage this fall - along with ramping up the roaring '20s style.
It would be cool to see how many of our fellow Etsians really have an eye for the fashion trends & how it translates into the creations.

P.S.
That corset is killer (along with all of that shop's other creations). 2 cool
