It's no secret that Etsy has some of the cutest jewelry, accessories, art, home goodies (you أزياء شات الغلا name it!) on the web. I love finding hidden gems on there that no one else likely has, and in turn support local, independent designers.

Which is why I was so excited when I was recently introduced to 9th and Elm - a flash sale site that cherry-picks the best  fashionable, handmade designs, allll in one place.

I had so much fun discovering new designers and shopping through their goodies, that I almost fainted when I found these monogrammed chucks. They became my very first pair of converse, and a brand new shoe OBSESSION that's all my own.
