Instagram is incredible because it’s kind of like Pinterest except with (generally… you must follow the right circle!) original work. Lots of pretty, styled photos to inspire your life. But lately the primary reason I’ve been spending too many minutes perusing Insta so much is not just to check in on my photos and feed, but to find cool people making or doing or wearing cool things. Hey Girl Market is doing all three from Costa Rica.
These are my current favorites from heygirlmarket.com. Isn’t everything so cheerful? As much as I love color, I find myself wearing a lot of neutrals, and just one of these statement pieces would spice up a bland look, I think. According to their website, all of Hey Girl Market’s accessories helps provide jobs for local female designers, helping them work safely in a positive environment. Each product is handmade using an array of bright colors, fringe, and striking metallics. The HGM blog has more info spotlighting the connections they have made.
