Just skimming through what I have saved in my favourites, found this little jem- http://www.fashionstudio7.com/ saved it and haven't looked at it's empty pages since May.
They're no longer empty!
You need to sign up to see it, but if you do, you get to see a video of me rambling on page 15. Worth it? maybe...
It's no secret to most of my friends that I LOVE Etsy.com. If you don't know Etsy, you need to.
Etsy is the meeting grounds for the artsy, crafty, fashiony lovers all over the world. Easy to navagate, and easy to find anything your heart desires; fabric, buttons, independant designers, homemade books, custom jewelry and supplies, artwork, furniture, costumes, baby clothes, vintage... I could go on for days, but it's all things that have touched the hands of someone who is passionate about homemade, unique or vintage. LOVE.
Here are some cool things I have found lately on Etsy:
I would totally buy the Balmain version on this jacket, but it's a tiny bit out of my budget, check out daniellat.etsy.com to see her version:
I love whiteowl.etsy.com 's jewelry, Sue got me a pair of earrings from them for my birthday!! so pretty :) I'm really into anything "Steampunk"...(19th century meets fantasy-I know, who am I?) edmdesigns.etsy.com does amazing jewelry designs with gears and old watch parts.
I love these necklaces from theMIX.etsy.com, so cute and they're affordable! Now, this corset is gone off the sellers page(sold), BUT I think it deserves to be added. My inner nerd wants this sooo bad.... EveningArwen.etsy.com Here is a Toronto based chicka selling some great vintage, raretreasure.etsy.com. I love etsy for vintage!
Also, take the time to check out some designs from girls I went to school with, they're fab;
Alright friends, I'm jumping in this blog bandwagon. I just want to share the things I find interesting, without them getting lost in the jungle of facebook. Expect links to websites & other blogs, fashion, photography, videos, articles and everything else that strikes my fancy.
I think this is so cool in a time of fast fashion and excess. Plus, it's all for a good cause! Maybe this will inspire you to upcycle some of your old staple pieces?
