Ah awards season is almost over. The Oscars are tonight and really, I'm an actress and I just watch it for the fashion.

I always admire the actresses who attempt originality, even if they completely miss the mark. At least they attempted something different.

Which got me thinking. How easy is it to be different? Try something new in this machine manufactured world. Easy if you're bank account is in the multiples of digits zone, easy if you have designers screaming for your attention, just so that they may hang their one of kind creations on your equisite form.

But for the rest of us?

Well, there's Etsy. Guaranteed to be handmade because, well, thems the rules. And as far as originality goes, it's up there with the best.
