I occasionally receive emails from designers or online shops, and I usually only make a post about their sites if it fits with what I personally like. Well, I received an email from Angie of Lamb’s Ear Shoes in Seattle last night and yes, this shop fits the bill! Thank you Angie! I don’t know how I hadn’t found you guys yet.

They have a really nicely edited and extensive collection of footwear and accessories from LD Tuttle, Loeffler Randall, Surface to Air, Ellen Verbeek, F-Troupe, Zeha Berlin, Kiyomi Kimble, Arielle De Pinto, and several others. There was an exciting (for me) note on the site that they’ll be stocking ANNTIAN (posted here in March) soon, too.

This type of small, independent boutique that carries lesser known but amazing lines is exactly what Pour Porter is all about. I can’t wait to do some shopping there!!

Sorry guys, I was soaking up the sun and blissful heat in Tucson Saturday through Monday, hence no post yesterday.

There are loads of talented unknowns on Irish site, Catwalk Genius, but what’s most unique about the site is the concept behind it. Not only can you purchase works from emerging designers, but you can invest in them as well, which helps fund their next collection. If you become an investor you also share in any profits made through the sale of each collection. I think it’s such a great concept.

The site has a nice selection and there are lots of colourful pieces to choose from. While I love me some neutrals and blacks, I desperately needed some colour given the miserable week upon week of rain we’ve had here in CO for the past month!

I like Revolve. They have a massive selection, they ship amazingly fast, and they recently launched a new website that carries independent and progressive designer lines. Why hello, Forward by Revolve.

I’m sure a lot of you are aware of this, but just in case some of you have been living under a rock for the past few months (ha ha kidding!):

If having the opportunity to access the best in independent and avant-garde fashion from boutiques across the world without having to invest in a plane ticket sounds appealing, then Far Fetch is the place to go.

Far fetch picks items from 20 different boutiques in Paris, Copenhagen, London, and Florence and makes it easy to purchase them no matter where in the world you are located. They have a pretty amazing selection and the ability to shop in US dollars, Euros, or British pounds, so no messy conversion needed. They also offer plenty of pieces at varying price points which they categorize under Luxe (most expensive), Lab (moderate), and Cult (least expensive). And the site is incredibly easy to navigate, which is a big plus in my book!

Time for another Magda Berliner post. Thankfully she’s returned to modeling her clothing, something I’ve always found charming. Berliner’s most recent pieces feel a bit more streamlined, but she still retains her characteristic silhouette and affinity for white crochet lace. Summer 08 saw her dabbling in metallics, brocade, leopard print, tie dye, as well as fleece. I like her playful reference to cut-offs with pockets that extend beyond the hems of several of the tops, dresses, and shorts.

The first four pieces are from her S/S 08 collection, photos five and six are from F/W 08, and the last four are from her smaller Holiday 08 collection.
