Sneak Peek: Salvor F/W 2010

by Tina on June 11, 2010

Project no.8 has these amazing hand-printed Salvor lawn chairs online which I’ve been eyeing for a while.  I’m pretty familiar with Salvor Projects’ accessories, so inspired by these folding chairs, I popped into their Website and happily stumbled upon their Fall 2010 look book. Which ironically doesn’t have any accessories (other than this pin up scarf), but incredibly distinct knits. This scarf is beautiful:

Esser Vesper Jewelry

by Tina on June 8, 2010

You may remember my previous feature on Laurel Hill Jewelry. Now, Laurel Hill is Esser Vesper.

“ESSERvesper is hand cast out of bronze and sterling utilizing the lost wax technique. The pieces are intended to be worn daily and age through wear, thus increasing meaning and attachment. The line is sculptural, seasonless, and wears to the wearer.”

No piece is exact. Like works of art, every flaw, shine or glimmer, is testament to the piece’s original character.”

I’m obsessed with these bronze stacked rings, and the way the lovely Una Portland (their only current stock list) mixes them up online.

I have stripes on the brain. Yes, they can be done terribly, terribly wrong, but most of the time stripes are one of those chic timeless prints that most people like, and own at least one variation of. I’ve been on a hunt for the perfect breton striped tee – which is a lot harder than it sounds — and was inspired a long the way to pull together some favorites. In case you were hunting too:

Update: I just found an American Vintage top at Ideeli for $36. I’d take the buttons off — but it’s really cute.

by Tina on June 4, 2010

These beautiful frocks by Brooklyn-based designer Mina Stone are so soft and airy — the perfect addition to any summer wardrobe. Most boutiques may be gearing up for fall arrivals…but I’m just living in the moment here:

Hunting and Collecting Opens Online

by Tina on June 3, 2010

On Tuesday I posted about online indie boutique Pour Porter, and now I’ve crossed paths with yet another great online boutique. Hunting and Collecting is based out of Belgium (but they ship everywhere — I asked) and feature an amazing selection of clothing, accessories and even print and objects, from many designers that aren’t frequently available in the US.

They carry Carin Wester, Stine Goya, Von Sono, Cosmic Wonder, Bess, Sabrina Dehoff and the even stock that amazing papier bag we featured a while back from Saskia Diez. It’s like a Style Bite reunion. The site is clean and modern (which I’m sure mimics their brick and morter in Belgium), with straighforward navigation. Visit Hunting and Collecting online…

Erin Considine Jewelry: Wear Your Fiber

by Tina on June 2, 2010

Erin Considine Jewelry is my newest hand dyed obsession, aside from Shabd of course. Based out of her Brooklyn New York Apt (her kitchen to be exact), all or Erin’s jewelry is hand-made using all natural dyes and fibers and reclaimed materials.  Favorites are her ‘Asiode’ necklace made of hand dyed cotton with logwood, turmeric, onion skin+hibiscus copper+brass, and the hand dyed ‘Tower’ bracelets and fun bolos. Yes, bolos. Hee Haw!

Erin Considine is available for purchase online at Beklina, Una and the artist’s own site.

New to the Guide: Pour Porter

by Tina on May 31, 2010

Hi guys! Sorry for the absence lately.  I have so many great indie designers + boutiques to share! I’ll start with my newest obsession Pour Porter.

Pour Porter has created quite a lovely space online for smaller lessor-known designers. They currently stock designers like Manu by Lauren Manoogian, Mono, Swedish Hasbeens, ffixxed and a few more. Simply stated: I want every single piece in this e-boutique. The layout is clean, simple and functional,  and their blog showcases, alongside shop news, info on other great indie designers. Start Shopping….
