There’s nothing like your first crush. And if you’re anything like us, you crush hard and often. This is where we pay homage to all things worthy of lusting after.

Sara fancies bright and feminine, yet edgy leather jewelry from Tomgirl. Local artist-of-all-media Taryn McCabe takes her Exacto knife to brilliant colored and metallic leather, meticulously crafting graphic flower and leaf shapes reminiscent of Alexander Girard or Marimekko. She layers them together in any number of complimentary combinations to create fluttering, flashy earrings, and statement-making sculptural necklaces.

il_430xn66253342You can find Tomgirl this weekend at San Francisco’s second annual Renegade Craft Fair, along with 199 other industrious artists of all kinds. It’s reportedly “the biggest and most comprehensive DIY event around” with additional stops in Brooklyn, Chicago, and Los Angeles—and it’s FREE! Come out and support our local artists!

Renegade Craft Fair, Saturday and Sunday, July 18th and 19th, 11am-7pm. Fort Mason Center Festival Pavilion.
