Etsy.com, My newest obsession

Published by

I discovered Etsy.com on boingboing.

Etsy is an online marketplace for buying and selling all things handmade. Etsy lets you shop by color, place, time and material.

You can read more about Etsy.com here.

I can browse this site for days on end, there is just so many different things to look at. For example I purchased this tank top from Little Odd Forest out of Singapore.
Blue Owl Tank Top
When I opened this package I was so suprised by the presentation of the product, it was extremely professional and inlcuded some goodies (a button, some postcards and stickers)

Lauren Felton Dress
Beautiful Lauren Felton Dress

I discovered this New York designer via local blogger La Femme (visit her site, it’s pretty freakin’ rockin’). Lauren Felton’s designs are very modern/futuristic looking (which I love being a total nerd). I really love her dresses and sleeveless tops.

Lauren’s trademark is an intellectual and sculptural approach to construction, and a thoughtful and serene beauty that unites each piece. Her clothes can be reconfigured and worn in multiple ways to create new and altered garments, for different moments and different moods.

BCBG Max Azria Stand Collar Coat
BCBG Military Coat

I am head over heels in love with this coat. Click this link, you need to see a larger version of this picture. You need to look at that collar closely. This coat is dramatic, a statement ( I honestly didn’t lift that from the Nordstrom’s site, I noticed the similarity afterwards). If you are a size 12, Nordstrom is the place to buy. I’ll be keeping my eyes out on eBay though.

Anticon Hoodie on Sale now

Published by

You might remember a past “I want…” post featuring the Anticon Hoodie.
Anticon Hoodie

Well, they went on sale late last week. You can order online here. They retail for $105.00US. Shipping to Canada is a hefty $27.18 US (Total CDN $152.87), and then their is Mr. Taxman at the border. I’m not sure what the duty would be on this item. While I love hoodies, the unexpected suprise Taxman hit will prevent me from ordering as of yet. Perhaps if the word spreads and the hoodie takes off, we’ll see some local availablity.

i want: Smythe Les Vests Coats

Published by

Many things by Smythe Les Vests I was reading Fashion Notes in Now Magazine and they mentioned Smythe because of their recent popularity. I decided to see what the fuss was about. They have some beautiful jackets (and a vest) that I have been salivating over. “Designer development We love a great Toronto fashion success story, and Christie Smythe ‘s and Andrea Lenczner ‘s tale of global blazer domination has just turned another fantastic page. Their Smythe line of just jackets has been a hit with hometown fashion folks and the Barney’s blonds set in New York City. This spring, London ladies hunting for smart oxford cloth waistcoats and shrunken double-breasted sailor jackets can pick up their collection at UK style mecca Harvey Nichols. www.smythelesvestes.com“.(source)

i got: Kenneth Cole Shoes and Paper Denim

Published by

Kenneth Cole Teal Shoes These cute teal heels are my first pair of Kenneth Cole shoes. I almost passed these up, but had to head back to Winners before someone else grabbed them. I have always been interested in a pair of coloured heels and these just called out to me. Paper Denim and Cloth Jeans 30 bucks for a pair of Paper denim. I had a hard time passing that up. They are a great length for heels but I still might get them hemmed a touch. I bought these at Five on Spadina – map it!!!
