Zen Threads is one of my favorite Etsy shops. I love their clever designs and their commitment to sustainability–they use eco-friendly inks and most of the clothing they print on is from American Apparel. Another bonus? Their prices are fantastic. Most pieces are around $25 or less. Click through to check out seven of my favorite cute, casual items currently for sale in the shop…

Etsy Spotlight: Super Stylish Vintage Sunglasses
We’re celebrating Earth Month here at The Frisky, and one of the easiest, cheapest, and fun ways to make your closet more earth-friendly is by buying vintage and secondhand whenever possible. My favorite vintage item to shop for is sunglasses because they add a cool retro vibe to any outfit (and you don’t have to deal with vintage sizing issues!). Here are 10 eye-catching pairs I found on Etsy, all for 20 bucks or less …
Bubblegum Dress Would Last Three Seconds With Me
This bubblegum dress from Etsy seller CoyotePeyote is cute and all, I guess. But here’s the thing — if, in fact, it’s stocked with actual bubblegum, I could see it lasting all of, like, five minutes in my house before I cut through the plastic and ate the gumballs inside. I have no willpower when it comes to gumballs, and go through them like nobody’s business. I chew them for 30 seconds and then swallow them (shh, don’t judge) and then eat a new one. Anyways, I guess I’m saying there should be more food-in-clothing hybrids. [Etsy]

Etsy Spotlight: Weird Wine Glasses
When my friend Lacie posted a picture of a mason jar wine glass on Facebook, I launched a full-scale search to track it down on Etsy.

Lingerie In Your Purse
There’s nothing worse than meeting Person Whose Job You Want at a party and not having any way to contact them again, foiling your plans to kidnap them and slurp up their brains. An up-and-coming career lady such as yourself has got to have business cards and if your field lets you be quirky, go with it! We think these two-sided cards featuring a retro lady lingerie do the trick. Just be very, very clear your actual profession is not a lady of the night. [$56 for 100, Etsy]
Crazy For Cat-cessories
Do you have an extra $25 to $65 you’d like to spend to torture your cat? Me too! That’s why I am all about this Etsy seller CATatelier, who makes specially designed cat hats, cravats (cravcats, say it three times fast), and ties. Your cat is totally naked without one of these specialty garments, trust me. Like, do you ever look at your cat’s head and think, Cat face, you need a newsboy cap? Or, your cat’s collar is kind of boring, so you’re like, “David Duchovny” — you named your cat David Duchovny, BTW — “you could use a bowtie.” Blam, CATatelier has those in spades. Your cat will hate you, but that’s a small price to pay for looking good. [Prices Vary, CATelier]
