Last week when a tornado ripped through Brooklyn, New York, a lot of people there were not only shocked by the damage, but also shocked that it was indeed a tornado. Coming from the Midwest, tornadoes are hardly ever shocking, sadly, and I think that’s partly why I’ve never seen tornado trinkets like the ones W Records by Monkey created emerge from the aftermath of a storm in my hometown.

By using wood from the fallen trees, Patrick Chirico of W Records by Monkey (the creator of my prized vinyl cameo necklace) was able to commemorate the strange weather with a neat little button that says, “I Survived the NYC Tornado,” and, “A Tree Fell in Brooklyn.” Hey Midwest gang, next time we get severe weather, which will be all too soon, let’s get creative too!

W Records by Monkey, one of the coolest home and style accessory teams around, are celebrating Earth Day the only way they know how. . . with amazing cuffs and pendants made from recycled vinyl records. Check out this limited edition and inspiring green collection here.

Available only from April 21 – 30th,  the cuffs and pendant are a must-have to not only show your support for our precious Earth and all its splendor (yes I said splendor!), but also to show your support for independent design and music. So you best get on it, I know I am. Only 9 days left to get your hands on this super cool collection!

I know I’ve mentioned W Records by Monkey many (ah-hem, make that many, many) times before, but they’re worth talking about, trust me! The vinyl records combined with vintage cameos, houndstooth, unique screen prints and stylish designs for the sake of cool jewelry will be appealing for years to come.

There’s so much to admire as a music fan, that when I saw their natural vinyl cuff I couldn’t help but take notice. Despite the lack of color like in their other designs, the sleek, black cuff makes a simple, yet loud statement. . . I LOVE MUSIC! And what’s better than that?  Get yours here for just 15 bones!

Please don’t hate me for bombarding you with vinyl record jewelry, but this houndstooth cuff from one of my favorite desingers W Records by Monkey is too cool to ignore. LOVE it!
