It may be a little early for the first robins of spring, but our fine feathered friend Samantha Bird of Urban Aviary is back with a fresh new collection of earthy, edgy jewelry that you’ll want to wear all year long.

Bird was recently joined in the Urban Aviary studio by her husband, Caelen, where they work side by side to handcraft modern adornments from earth-friendly and conflict-free materials. Not sure your partner would make a good co-worker? Check out Bird’s persuasive list for sharing her nest.

Top 10 Reasons for Working with Your Spouse:

1. Your co-worker is hot.
2. Advancement opportunities are endless.
3. There’s flexibility in your hours and plans.
4. It’s completely acceptable to always be honest.
5. It’s fun to find new ways to motivate each other.
6. 30 minute breaks turn into 3 hour naps.
7. Gasoline bill will drop 90%.
8. Massages during brainstorming sessions.
9. In with the date nights, out with the staycations.
10. Common understanding, mutual problems, and unified rejoicing.

One look at VERAMEAT’s fantastical creations and the mind begins to drift. Vampires, monsters, mummies and strange animals…The cast of characters in the world of Ukraine-born and Utah-raised designer Vera Balyura is odd but enticing, and her strange, striking pieces are oh so covetable. We had a visit with Vera at her flagship store in New York’s East Village recently and found it hard to tear ourselves away. Luckily, her latest sale is right here.

What sorts of things influence your designs?

Filmmakers, comic writers, musicians, artists of all kinds. One of my sisters is a casting agent and the other is in law school, so their different interests inspire me. Last year I had the privilege of meeting Ronald Lauder at the Neue Gallery, which holds Egon Schiele’s work—that was really inspiring.

We’re super-excited about Fiona Gallagher, oops, Emmy Rossum’s special sale with us!  We’re featuring her lovely new album, and she has curated a selection of her favorite Fab items. She also wrote this note to tell us more about her picks. 

Hi there! 

I hope you like my Fab picks. These are all items I love and have hand selected. From vintage feeling necklaces (love the mini camera pendant!) to fun things for your kitchen (a sculpture of spices and delicious drink syrups in pretty bottles), these are all items that fit perfectly in my home and my life. There’s a sweet tote that reminds me of New York, cute T-shirts to run around and do errands in, and cool brooches to dress up a sweater or wear on the red carpet as a hair ornament. And there’s even heart-shaped cookware that’s sure to please the object of your affection on Valentine’s Day! The butterfly globe adds a light and airy touch to home decor, and makes thinking about travel that much more fun. Be sure to check out the fun cocktail shaker, which will be put to use making retro cocktails at your next dinner party. You can even turn on Sentimental Journey while you’re entertaining your guests!
