Form and function meet in this self-described Manly Padlock Choker. The padlock on the choker comes with a key–so you can actually use the padlock when you’re not wearing the choker.
What will they think of next?

Start journaling your life today. No matter what day of the year it is, you can just flip to the date and start writing.

$24.95 at Barnes & Noble.

Mandy Wu is the mastermind behind E.V.O.D. jewelry. Using unconventional materials such as timepieces and fabric centerpieces, Mandy designs and makes each and every one of her pieces. We can’t get enough of this black butterfly necklace, which combines fabric and metal in one stunning piece.

Designer Sheela Rayala fuses Indian, European, and American styles to create uniquely flattering styles. Case in point? Her Mohini necklace, which features a gorgeous cascade of lavender stones.
Cool thing about Kuukivi? The company will donate 1% of its profits to non-profit organizations, such as "Little Twinkle" (www.littletwinkle.com) which helps children in remote parts of India get their basic education.
$99 at Kuukivi.
