three-LA denim shirt

The tunic quality of this denim shirt from three-LA is great. The longer sleeves paired with the zipper on the side, which lets you pick between a slit and a fitted look. ($85)

nicole bridger shirt

Nicole Bridger once created OQOQO for Lululemon, but now she’s working on her own. This shirt, with it’s hand-printed librarian feel, is simply gorgeous. The best thing is she makes everything ethically, with sustainable materials. ($154)

twospace chelsea dress

I like this floral pattern on this Chelsea Dress by Twospace Studio. It’s very vintage romantic and pretty. I’d probably belt it, but I’m afraid of trapeze dresses. ($173)

mislle shirt

How old-world Hollywood glam! This thin blouse is by mislle, who is totally sweatshop free. This is one of the reasons I love indie design. When you’re not concerned with the masses, you can be responsible. ($110)

etsy: painted shoes

These shoes are crazy and amazing. I’m not sure I would even wearing them because they’re so artful. The Rage takes shoes and paints them with great designs — everything from stripes to graffiti. ($120)

viva la vida slips

I was cruising on Modish and spotted these great dresses.
Viva la Vida makes these great vintage slips with a pretty sparrow printed on it. The look is very throwback and I like the femininity of the whole thing.

dace tunic

Dace has a bunch of comfortable stuff out right now, but I caught this tunic  on Paper-Doll and had to post. It’s got big pockets and would look great with some skinny jeans. ($184)

behind the scenes

For the next few weeks, refinery29 is going to show you the life of a designer. An indie designer at a fashion show. People like Chris Benz and lingerie designers The Lake and Stars show you their new collections, their ideas and their work spaces. I always love this stuff because it’s amazingly inspiring to […]
