iShopIndie.com

I shop Indie.com is a cute website that offers a wide variety of new designs from smaller, independent businesses.

I particularly admire these bottle cap pieces, made by Wilton Artisians.

Also loving Leviticus Jewelry, with their simplistic designs and cute, wearable pieces.

These, Tick Tock earrings are adorable and are wearable day to day.

I've also found Sparkle Thots via this website. They offer a selection of jewelry with pearls being my favourite.

However, this "My Blue Rose" ring is my utter favourite; it's stylish, elegant and completely vintage.

I hope you enjoy looking though and finding a few boutique websites of your own.

Mod Cloth.com

My new favourite website is Mod Cloth.com. It has the perfect selection of retro and indie clothing that's perfect for this summer. I particularly love this floral "Georgia Dress."

I love the bold print with it's sharp cut and design. The colours work especially well with the black background making it a fab summer piece.


But not only do they do beautiful dresses, they also do the perfect jewelry to go with them! I think this Gold All Heart Necklace would be perfect for the Georgia dress and maybe this Gold Pharaoh Bracelet.


Also Loving this Cinema Tee-graphy dress/top. I think it's really simple, so I could throw it on with light, stone-washed jeans or wet-look leggings. Either way, it would look fabulous with some Gold or Silver chains.

Personally, also wanting these necklaces.

I don't know what it is about them; the striking colours or the simple, pretty patterns within them; but I really like these. I think they'd make it really simple to piece an outfit together around them. The colours give you the obvious choices and easy palette of blues, greens and purples. However, I'd also like to mix them up with some golds and blacks, and that, I think, would be a stunning outfit.


Anyway, have a look for yourself, I know you'll find something you love, because they sell a wide variety of jewelry, dresses, shoes and so much more!

Junk Jewels

I supposed you noticed, at the end of that last post, two pieces of jewelry from Junk Jewels. The pieces on this site are so adorable.

This first necklace is a silver Ice-cream cone with a baby pink Swarovski crystal. Personally, I think this'll be a great piece for summer... regardless of Britain's often cold and wet weather!!

Next, I found a silver lover heart with wings. It put me in mind of a necklace I frequently 'borrow' from my sister. I love the simplicity of it and it's charm.

Last off, a nautical piece. This gold, Half-penny bracelet is something I really like. It's completely on-trend with everything nautical in every shop, but I think it'll be a piece that can be admired all year, purely for it's charm and it's uniqueness. I want it solely to pair it with my antique boat charm I have on a gold chain and wear with a string of pearls.

Pearls, I may add, which are on-trend for fall-winter 2009/10, if you agree with Chanel's Pre-collection line.

de Fashion Avenue

I found this website the other day deFashion Avenue which has just a few pieces, mostly dresses, which really caught my eye. Some of the materials used are stunning and I just want to own them all!!
This dress really piqued my interest as something for summer; it's light, white and simple.

Also, I really liked this layered chiffon dress;

I love the way it clings to the model's curves, and I think it'd be perfect for anyone looking for that dress that gets everyone talking. Prom much?


Lastly, this shimmering example of a good use of sequins. Very often, I see pieces that seem to have had a designer decide something's missing, and just thrown a handful of sequins on to make it a bit different. This however is different, and in a simply stunning way.

I'd like to finish this with some stylish black, gladiator heels, this elegant Chanel evening clutch and matching Bow necklace and Bow Bracelet.


Love this website, give it a peek!
