stimulus spending: python flats

image: gargyle
This will not delight animal lovers. I’m sorry about that. But these shoes are so crazy and bright, I had to post them.
They’re from Eley Kishimoto, and they’re suede, leather and the backs are python. They’re kinda rocker chic, kinda crazy urban. The bright color is perfect for pairing with jeans and a tank […]

swim: kelly b bikini

image: btc elements
It’s officially warm out. It’s officially time to get that bikini and go strut your stuff at the beach.
This Kelly B bikini is not only super cute, but it’s almost all organic cotton. I love the little ruffles on the top, it makes and otherwise bland swimsuit stand out.
Worried about it being totally […]

simply gorgeous: bio-inspired bracelets

image: Raven’s Clay
I found this amazing jewelry designer on Anything Indie, a great indie blog.
Raven’s Clay makes lots of stuff, including pretty little mini bowls, all out of polymer clay. The studio is totally off the grid and everything made there is simply amazing.
I really like the inspiration for these bracelets. There’s some that inspired […]

stimulus spending: built by wendy dress

image: BBW
The description on this dress by indie sewing maven Built By Wendy says “surprisingly hip-slimming.”
Uhm. I don’t know about that. Lookit all the layers on those hips. The dress is gorgeous, but I seem to think only a non-hipful gal can carry it off.
What do y’all think?
Sizes extra small to medium, in navy and […]

I got bogged down with non-blogging this this weekend, so I haven’t had time to pick myself a winner for the contest.
Tomorrow, I swear. Tomorrow there will be lots of awesome stuff.

designer spotlight: leanimal

Oh boy, how long I’ve loved Leanimal. I found the line on one of my etsy-random-clicking adventures, but the shop there was woefully understocked.
Come to find out that Leanne Marshall, the designer of this great stuff, has moved to Portland and has been doing e-commerce on her own site.

Whilst poking around her site, I learned […]

intimacy issues: a hidden corset

image: stars and infinite darkness
Oh, that sounds like such a dirty post. It’s just a tank top, sorry, albeit a hot one.
From the front, this Imtimacy Issues tank looks like a simple top with princess seams, but it’s all a facade. Check out the back and you’ve got rows of sequins and a hidden […]
