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!!

I’ve been hesitant to post British online shop, Amelie because it doesn’t appear that they ship outside the UK, but they have such a nice selection I decided to afterall. Actually, it looks like they will but you probably have to email or call to make international shipping arrangements. Nevermind! A very helpful person from Amelie just sent me this:

“Hi, Shipping is worldwide! Check out the delivery and returns page (http://www.amelieboutique.com/delivery.html). Also if you are out of the European Union you’ll get the tax (15%) deducted at checkout!”

Some of these items are likely found in the States for less, but I’ve bookmarked the site for those times when they carry a hard-to-find item not readily available in North America.

And I think I’m caught up on posts now since I missed Thursday and Friday of last week!

During my search on Monday for shops that carried Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair, I stumbled across Portland boutique, Stand Up Comedy. While their site design is a touch clunky, it’s worth the minor frustration you have to endure to browse. They have a great little selection of every art hipster’s favourite indies, and they don’t just carry clothing. There is also an interesting assortment of books, accessories, and other objects to choose from, as well.
