Rob Diamond winged heart rockabilly necklaceAn accessorization superstore specializing in a seemingly endless array of belt buckles, very reminiscent of 80’s flea market bikerama shops before the malls jumped onto the badass bandwagon. Fantasy cuffs, hair pomade, skull-festooned wallet chains, vulgar tees, body jewelry, flasks emblazoned with band logos, Tres Noir sunglasses, and a tattoo-splattered section of rockabilly necklaces.

GreenFibres organic cotton socksEcofash for men, women, and kids that sounds utterly scrumptious against the skin, in organic cotton, cashmere, and silk. The underwear tends towards the full-coverage and longjohnish and actually makes for some good layering staples, and the clothes include hoodies, yoga pants, and thick tights. Also bath and body goods and lots of earth-conscious housewares.

Also a line of mineral foundations and over 100 eyeshadow shades, perfume blends, fantasy stained glass and tiny paintings.
