<br />
Vintage for this heart has been an ever enduring love affair.<br />
<br />
There is a assured sentience of passion, adventure and wistfulness in vintage. It's the excitement of the pursuit, and wearing something perfectly distinctive from the crowd...Vintage also connects us to the past, and timeless fashion, and of course the motivation in knowing that you are doing your part to reutilize, less in the landfills, contently leaving us stylishly responsible and indebted for fashion that rocks way beyond its age. <br />

<strong>The Company</strong><br />
Seeing things in black and white usually isn’t healthy, but designer Randi Christiansen and co-founder Mary Herff have made a business of it. Inspired by their native Texas landscape and Christiansen’s Scandinavian roots, the team’s polished eighteen-piece collection is simple in the best way: a limited palette (black, white, and four shades of gray), flowing wool knits, slinky cotton dresses, and elegant separates that can be layered through the seasons. It’s no wonder <em>Lucky </em>and style blog Sea of Shoes are also devotees. -Daily Candy</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />

<span class="text_exposed_show">hammered brass bracelets interwoven with fine <br />
leather and accompanied by gems casting spectrums of luminescent <br />
beauty. The latest line of bracelets enhances the individuality of the <br />

exhibiting brilliantly sensual shapes and colors that are sure to <br />

Attractive and vivid natural toned semi-precious stones echo against <br />
shimmering crafted pieces of gold hues and adorned by elegant <br />

The exclusively handpicked selection of stones used in the collection <br />
are from around the world expressing both strength and <br />

Milano and Francessca Couture designed by Dustee Gutierrez and Guisselle Bendana decided to name their company after beautiful daughters Milano and Francessca. Pre-Columbian skillful hands and artistic imagination produce the fascinating crocodile and snake skin line of purses and accessories they design out of Nicaragua.<br />
<br />
Since the company's launch this year, an explosive demand for the products has led the designers to expand their product line to include: handbags, totes, clutches, belts, bracelets, cuffs, wallets, head bands, T-strap sandals and flip flops. <br />
<br />
I pad holders, picture frames, cigar holders and other great products are also on the way! A little something for everyone!<br />
<br />
Dustee and Guisselle are extremely enthusiastic and excited about the direction the line has taken in such a short time period and look forward to continuing to share their vision. <br />
<br />
"We are very confident that you will love our purses and accessories as much as we do." -Dustee Gutierrez and Guisselle Bendana<br />

Ann Westby started making jewelry in 2001, which is when she quit working to start a family. In 2006, she started Petals & Metals. <br />
<br />
With a huge passion for jewelry, both the making and the wearing of it, Ann constantly strives to improve and expand her skills. This is what has taken her from beading & wire work, her first love, into metalsmithing and precious metal clay. A couple of metalsmithing and PMC classes are all it took to get her completely hooked on metal and fire. With metalsmithing came the ability to make her own findings rather than relying on mass produced pieces, which enhances her designs and makes them truly one of a kind!<br />
<br />
Local to Houston and want to take a closer look? Swing by Ann's studio at Winter Street Studios, 2101 Winter Street, 23, Houston, TX 77007 during Open Studios on the second Saturday of every month. <br />
