Catbird
219 Bedford Ave., at N. 5th St., Williamsburg, Brooklyn; 718-599-3457
The Bedford Avenue location of this pair of shoebox-size accessories shops was the first to scoop up Leigh Batnick's Vagabond Picnic by Jezebel collection when it launched last month. Though she's known for her whimsical stationery, Batnick's earrings, necklaces, and rings fitted with gleaming 14-karat-rose-gold ants make for clever summer accent pieces ($200 to $400 each).

Her eclectic "Poor Little Rich Girl" chain bracelet ($40) is decked with bell and silhouette charms, glass beads, and a coin token reading "Northwood Country Club."
