Hip Indie Style from Moxsie

]]> Moxsie is an indie fashion and accessories shop with an urban twist.  In addition to their freshly-launched sneaker shop they’ve got collections from all over the world and feature some very unique pieces.

Check out this great silver seagull ring – it actually fits over two fingers, with the gull wings sitting on both fingers:

How about a tote made from recycled banners?  The “Barceloneta” totes are finished with easy-care PVC, making them perfect for the beach, library or market.

When is a Purse Not Just a Purse?

]]> It’s been awhile since I discovered ASOS, the fabulous UK shopping site that makes me think, just for a moment, I have any business wearing harem pants.

The site’s line of accessories are usually spot-on, but I do wonder from time to time just what age group ASOS aims to target with something like the straw cupcake purse?

The Hexagonal Spot Handheld Bag strikes me as more wearable, you know, on a day you’re feeling whimsical and are wearing nothing but solid white or black.

And then there’s this.

magazine-purse

Yes, that’s a magazine, wrapped up like a newspaper, tied with a lime-green bow. Of course it’s a ridiculous, unnecessary purchase that will go with — maybe — one or two outfits in your closet. But I want it now.

Steampunk Bow Belt by Desira Pesta

]]> Some outfits start with shoes, some with dresses, but they all end up with belts. If they’re lucky outfits, then they’ll end up with this retro-futuristic piece of deliciousness by up-and-coming design guru Desira Pesta. I just bought myself one of these babies, and can’t wait to test it out.

Here it is shown juicing up a pretty conservative outfit, so can you imagine what it will do for tight black jeans and stiletto biker boots? I know, the thought is overwhelming. And all those plain jane dresses I’ve been hiding at the back of my closet for god knows how long will definitely benefit from a little steampunking up. Available for $48 from Desira Pesta on Etsy.

chic & chunky wool scarves

]]> Chunky wool scarves, wraps and cowls have made their way down several catwalks – and judging from the amount of frost on my front lawn this morning – it’s perfect timing to bring them out!

I love supporting indie designers, and Etsy is full of fantastic, trendy designs – check out this hand-knitted wool cowl by New York designer, Spratters & Jayne:

Fashionable and cozy – now there’s a happy mix :-)

]]> In the meantime – I just have to brag about my talented mom, Noreen – who’s just published a new book!

The book’s topic?  Accessories!

Well, actually – it’s belts, and I’m trying to figure out if I can ask Santa Claus for one of the belts for Christmas :-)

designers on ArtPlot

]]> I have a fondness for independant designers and love to discover treasures on places like Etsy & a newcomer to the online world, ArtPlot.

These aluminum brooches are by Gemma Holmes, from her Pin-Ups series.

I’m not sure of the materials used for this picece by Tomoaki Orikasa – but I think it’s quite spectacular!
