Purest Cut Austrailia

Please welcome Purest Cut, the newest Aussie addition to our 'shop list.' We've stumbled across their boutique a few times lately but can't gather how we forgot to add them to our roster. They feature an edited amount (10 to be exact) of indie Aussie labels as well as a great selection for men and women. Most spring is now on sale, which is fantastic.

Monki

You may have noticed that Style Bite has a penchant for Swedish designers. Which is why we were more than excited to discover Monki, Sweden's take on H & M. Think H & M meets Cheap Monday, meets Permanent Vacation. Actually, Permanent Vacation collaborated with the store for a collection and I think Cheap Monday may be involved, but don't quote me on that one. The goods are trendy, but taken from trends with a more indie and avant garde aesthetic, which makes for a must have collection.

Shop Alert: Totokaelo.com a.k.a. Impulse

The time has finally arrived: Impulse Seattle (a S.B. favorite) has graduated from shopping blog to full blown e-commerce site! While Impulse will remain Impulse, its online counterpart will operate under the name Totokaelo. The new site is much different than the usual suspects - it's membership only and primarily community driven...you must create a profile to begin shopping. The site is still in BETA - 'test' in computer lingo - so they're looking for as much feedback as possible. I don't think I've seen anything like it - it's a new concept when it comes to online shopping, so I need a little longer to figure it out.

Shop Alert: Standard Deviation

Standard Deviation is brand spankin' new online only boutique out of Brooklyn. Their designer list is stocked full of indie favorites like Society for Rational Dress, Heimstone and Burfitt. They also make room for lesser known newbies like Beckermann and Mine. All in all: better than your standard deviation.

Shop Alert: Azita

Henrik Vibskov, SSWR, Wood Wood, Reality Sudio...any store with this roster of designers is automatically a favorite in my book. I stumbled across Azita (out of Frankfurt) online awhile back and was instantly impressed - the website is well edited and pretty easy to shop. An added bonus - The Coveted recently visited the shop in person and took some great pictures.

Shop Alert: Una...my Heart is Full

Many a fashion gem call the Pacific Northwest home. Una, out of Portland, is a new one to ad to our list. I stumbled across them online a couple months ago and was instantly star struck by their designer roster, I couldn't believe the number of enticing names they fit into such an edited website --Hengst, Mociun, Rodebjar, Vena Cava, Sunshine & Shadow, Voeu, to name a few. The website hasn't been updated for spring yet, but their blog is charmingly home grown and well maintained with new arrivals, all of which are probably just a phone call or email away. E-commerce isn't set up yet, but the goods are well worth the extra effort is takes to call them your own.

Shop Alert: The Candy Store Online

San Francisco has yet another name to add to its burgeoning list of boutique e-tailers. The Candy Store has been operating brick and mortar for a while in the mission district, since 2005 I believe. They are now proud to introduce online shopping. The site offers a large selection of clothes for him, her, and baby, as well as accessories for the home and beyond.
