Looking good

The Amelie Boutique a/w 2009 lookbook has plenty of things to get me excited about. Just need to win the lottery then.

Big knickers good-bye

I’ve just come across Mio Destino, a UK online boutique for lingerie. They stock some of my all-time favourite labels such as What Katie Did and Miss La La. Good to know!

Get Stoned

One of my favourite models of all time, Dutch beauty Lara Stone, has picked out a selection of items from up and coming designers at Not Just A Label. And of course the girl’s got style, I just love the edgy, grunge pieces she’s chosen.

Market Publique: like eBay but vintage

New shopping platform Market Publique works like eBay. Except that it only sells vintage. So as a buyer you put down your bids as usual, whereas as a seller you can list your items just as on other online auction houses. The quality of the items on sale is pretty good and most bids are at a decent price although there isn’t much stuff on sale yet.

A new online fashion mecca? The Stellar Boutique

New online fashion and home wear store The Stellar Boutique has launched, selling ‘ an inspired, eclectic mix of beautiful things from around the world’. Created by Stella McClure, who used to sell her one-off finds at Portobello, the boutique is an outlet to showcase designers and artists from all over the globe.

While I like the store’s concept, which is all about originality (credo: ‘Don’t follow fashion, create it!), I don’t think I am quite bohemian (read: hippie)  enough to really appreciate Moroccan rugs or white boho peasant tops. But if this is your style, you won’t be disappointed. There is even a small vintage section selling pieces from the late 60s to the 80s. Again, just not my decades…

777

I love this week’s 777 event at Shrimpton Couture. It means that seven items from this fab vintage online shop will be reduced in price. Once an item is sold, another one is added. I’ve slightly fallen in love with this 40s pink dress.

I’d love to have a moustache

The lovely Detour2Mode have been blogging about French online shop ‘Bird on the Wire’. Damn ladies, how could you, there is way too much stuff I like!

I hate Fridays the most

I recently got an email from online shop I Don’t Like Mondays asking me to take a look at their stock. I was ever so slightly sceptical, I’m just bored of shops selling skinny Cheap Monday jeans. But saying that, I found plenty of things that make me want to get my credit card out. I won’t even start on the Melissas…

Pin me up, tie me down

I’m a sucker for pin-up dresses and have found tons that I like at Pin-Up Parade. I don’t even care that they look just a tad fancy dress.

Why oh why do you tempt me?

My obsession with online shop Pixie Market has gone into frenzied overdrive as they are now offering free international shipping AND have added Sophie Hulme to their collection. I’ve been after her sequin jacked for ages!
