So I admit that I was mostly ogling the beauties above (in the women’s section), but British menswear company, Folk has plenty of nice preppy essentials for the guys and the gals who like to wear menswear. No time really to post my favourites from the clothing sections or the prices, so be sure to click over
UK based Swash is one of the most refreshing finds I’ve encountered in awhile. You know, because as much as I like black and grey, I’ve wearied of the popular aggressive look that’s been so dominant in the past few years. Swash’s printed scarves, bags, and clothes are just gorgeous and inspiring and a sight for sore eyes. You can find a few of their scarves for sale on Liberty of London’s site. I’ve featured their S/S 09 and F/W 09 clothing collections (click the images to enlarge), but visit the site* to see their equally beautiful scarves
*A warning if you visit the Swash site: It has got to be one of the THE WORST Flash built sites I’ve seen since 2001. To make a viewer sit through literally three minutes of load time on a fast connection in the year 2009 (almost 2010) is just pure insanity and they need to fire their designer stat!

On right – bag: $233.90; boots: $115.50; tee: $86.63
I sure do love it when I randomly come across a site I’ve never heard of before and it’s packed with mind-blowingly good stuff. British shop Goodhood is just that sort of place. I’m probably particularly drawn to it because, as I’ve been prattling on about for awhile now, I’ve been desperately in search of colour and pattern. Their current inventory has plenty of just that. They’ve loads of labels I’ve never heard of and plenty of good old favourites like wood wood, Bernhard Willhelm, Peter Jensen, Von Sono, and Sabrina Dehoff. There was so much I wanted to post but it would have taken up the whole page! Be sure to check the site out
