I'm a little late to the party on this one (as per usual), but I just stumbled across the most amazing collection of jewelry - rings, specifically. This is pure eye-candy Friday, I've decided. Get ready to ogle. Corinthian columns! ...
The girl's got some serious light outerwear. I love what she does with her coats because she treats them like accessories. Underneath, simple shirts and perfectly-fitted jeans, maybe a slightly interesting shoe - but everything is mostly simple... Though never ...
As it's my job to scour the internet for all things lovely, beautiful, jaw-dropping and fashion - imagine my delight when I stumble upon something that encompasses all of those things, and more. Though I don't utilize Lookbook.nu terribly often, ...
Sure, she might be nuts. She might be insane, off her rocker, completely batshit crazy... That will never stop me from loving her. She preserves the life of insane eccentric - in my mind, she helps me fill the gaps ...
While, when going out, you'll likely see me in something that has a decent balance of draped vs. skin-bearing, were I to have more opportunities to wear more ladylike items (not necessarily appropriate for dive bars, though, my philosophy clearly states ...
In general, I don't bother following the blogs of designers. I find them to be a little too over-self-promotional, and I get tired of seeing magazine scans with their own products circles, and the never-ending line of "SALE TODAY IN ...
I think I found this brand through Kingdom of Style... I can't recall exactly, but I loved their Etsy shop so much that I not only added them to my "favorite sellers" - I subscribed to their store feed via ...
I love Jack White. I love The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, Them Crooked Vultures... One of my all-time favorite movies is Coffee & Cigarettes (more for Tom Waits, but I can't deny my excitement upon seeing Jack White so close ...
Warning: This is going to be a major picture overload in about two inches. I've been in love with Leigh Lezark since I first saw her pop up in the front row of New York Fashion Week. She and I ...
I'm in love. A reader, Andy, sent me the link to something I didn't know I needed. Kinekt Gear Ring $165 Fall in love! ...
In honor of Earth Day... ...I'm going to talk about Diesel. ... Yep! And how they have, to this day, my favorite ad campaign and maybe the only ad campaign where I didn't really care about the product, but I ...
Trust me, I never thought I'd say it either but... Man, all I can think about is this jumpsuit from indie designer Kristinit: Better than the fact that it's stunningly gorgeous is the fact that it's 100% organic linen. Summertime? ...
Ahh, Christmas Eve Eve. A notorious day, commonly spent in a fit of anxiety, rushing from grocer to grocer looking for that damned mustard, or frantically organizing sleeping situations for house guests... Rushing from in-law-home to in-law-home wishing you could ...

Remember Erika Hendrix? My swoon-worthy indie designer friend from Germany? Do you remember how she was the first ever ECIG? Yeah, that's old school. Well, she's back and she's got a Spring/Summer 2010 collection with her. Of course, it's gorgeous. ...
Our "Welcome Back" edition of ECIG goes to a Seattle artist named Wally. He runs his Etsy site called A Cut Above Coins where he sells the jewelry he handmakes by actually cutting old, foreign coins. I saw my first cut ...
When I look into Indie Designers, I have a lot of criteria. Typically, I'm a fairly picky person. I've been called "pretentious", a snob, an elitist... I don't really care, honestly. If I'm going to drop top dollar on a ...
Never think that I'll just stop creating new columns for this site. It's a fierce addiction that I just can't stop - I don't have the strength. For those who are wondering, I chose "dossier" as opposed to "profile" because ...
