Hasta La Ideas

Michelle Obama has caught our eye with her impressive collection of brooches and we can’t wait to see what new ones she will wear as First Lady. While we’re waiting, we thought we’d find some vintage brooches as well as some created by independent designers. Smashing Darling is a great online indie boutique to start with – they have a large selection from Bakas Artysta, and One Sweet Peach, as well as others. There’s even a patriotic one, and you really can’t miss the vintage fireworks brooch with antique gold and red rhinestones. Plus, we found some great brooches made of felt and even buttons- so perfect for your DIY-obsessed friend or even yourself. Check out our slideshow for a dozen of our favorites.
