Jac Vanek began her career as teen due to an interest in music and the "scene" culture that surrounds the business. Slowly, the now 21-year-old, who also models and is involved in photography, became an Internet sensation. The rest is history.
Collaborations with musicals artists Miley Cyrus (below), Boys Like Girls, Paramore and Cobra Starship have further helped put this young designer's style on the map. Most of her bracelet products are priced at $10 and Vanek offers clothing and other merchandise on her site. Further, Vanek often works with social, not-for-profit causes.

2. Blue Steal clutch from LeSportsac, $28. This clutch is named after the infamous Derek Zoolander "look" from our favorite ridiculously good looking comedy ever. Tell us you can't see it on your arm and we won't believe you.
