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). The tank top itself had a beautiful product tag
Little Odd Forest label
Lynda Lye, creates all her products from scratch. The tank top is of the upmost quality and you can see the care put into it’s creation.

There a many Canadian Etsy users, I also purchased a stuffed Owl for my boyfriend from Knitpurlzen who is located in Bowmanville.
Owl for Ryan

The only bad thing about Etsy is the location search. It uses Google maps, which is a bit cumbersome, but unfortuantley doesn’t provide you with alternative methods of searching by location. Some Canadian users I noticed are

Knitpurlzen
Bubblecup
Stylish Crafts – I don’t have hair but these are very cute
Emhalee
Clever Like the Fox
Forumla Exo
The Felt Farm
The Sweet Pie Press
StudioLoo

There are many others that I haven’t listed. Get on over to Etsy to find them.

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.

I love the cuts, check out some of these great items.

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.

OMG I want it.

Published by

OMG I want it is this really neat website I discovered.

OMGiwantit, short for Oh My God I want it, is a great place to find modern and unique gifts and home accessories. We are not a store, we don’t sell anything, we simply link to items that we think are cool/fun.

The site has a social aspect to it. You can upload a product and add products to your OMGPage. You can view mine here. The site features some really cute items like this one
Monkey Nail Dryer
It’s a monkey shaped nail dryer, how cute.

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.

A Boba Fett print by Dave White
Boba Fett

God I love Boba Fett! Remember here people, I may love fashion, but I’m a nerd at heart. Boba has always been my favourite Star Wars character. Even though George Lucas basically ruined the Boba Fett mystique in Episode 1, I still love him. How much do I love Boba, enough to share my living room with a cardboard cutout. I’ve had this cutout for about 10 years now. Jesus, 10 years, 😀

Well I found this print on a site called Hypebeast, check it out!
