So I’ve posted about Prose, Swash, and Vilsbøl de Arce recently and was happy to find that Ssaw, based out of Stuttgart, Germany, carries these lines and more. They have a nice, limited assemblage of items so you won’t be overwhelmed by too many choices. And guys – O.M.G.they have the Prose dress I’m nuts about (see above and click to enlarge)! Unfortunately, I’m a little tied up buying inventory for the Pour Porter shop, so I’ll just have to admire it from afar. They will ship internationally, although at the moment their delivery terms are all in German. Prices are in euros, and you’ll have to forgive me for being too lazy to do the conversions for you today

Camera case – TBD
If you haven’t already noticed, I’ve been on a bit of an accessories binge lately. While working on a cut-and-paste wardrobe post over the weekend, I had the pleasure of stumbling across this fantastic Washington DC leather goods shop. Desire for classic handmade leather goods has really grown in the past few years and I’m certainly not immune to this growing interest either. Some of you have probably also noticed the camera-bag-as-handbag trend that’s begun to make an appearance on ye olde street style blogs. This is a trend I actually like! Of course, being a relatively practical person, the leather camera bags that are popping up all over are a bit too small for my daily needs. I much prefer the traditional boxy camera case. Plus, we’ve got quite a few film SLRs at home (four!) that we’ve been aching to use again and the case above would be perfect for any of them, and for toting around my lip balm, wallet, checkbook, keys, etc. when I’m not with camera.
Well, anyways I came across DC based Classic Luggage this weekend and was most impressed by their selection of gorgeous Swaine Adeney leather goods items. I’d love to swap out the giant heavy bags I’m usually lugging around for their camera case or the military wet pack. There’s no price yet for the camera case-they want to gauge interest first before producing it, but there are loads of other equally impressive items that could seamlessly blend into anyone’s wardrobe
Military wet pack – $245
Wow. Every piece from A Piece Apart’s S/S 2010 collection is subtle perfection. NYC based Laura Cramer and Starr Hout have created a line that can go anywhere and be worn with anything. I quite like the play between the deep jewel tones and pale neutrals in the latest collection-it sort of epitomizes summer for me. Gorgeous stuff. (Thanks to Hey Susy for the heads-up on this label!)

One of my favourite blogs, gotasalviento, is completely responsible for this find (Nazara always posts the best stuff). While there isn’t a lot of info about the shop itself, from what I can gather by browsing the site, Arts&Science is a Japanese shop that not only has its own line of clothing and accessories, but carries other designers (Berlin label Hut Up looks fantastic) as well. They seem to have quite the presence as I noticed they have brick-and-mortar locations in several cities. The pieces are the kind of items you can wear for years because they’re simple, beautifully constructed, and timeless. Honestly? This is A++ perfection.
