I've decided that ECIG isn't just for Mondays anymore (though, this one obviously is...). It also isn't just for designers under $100, either. There are far too many worth-the-money designers with brilliant ideas for me to stick to just one. ...
This week, I decided to ask the ever-listening Twitter crowd who their favorite independent, affordable, talented designer was... The first, name I heard: Lucid New York. Of course! Why didn't I think of it before? This girl, Anna of Lucid ...
Don't get scared, guys! I'm not featuring someone who sells tattoos online or anything crazy like that, but I definitely understand if the idea of "tats" that aren't permanent makes you draw a blank. The same thing happened to me ...
This edition of ECIG is a little short because, well, this particular seller doesn't have a ton of items in her store at the moment... But two of her pieces were so wearable and adorable - I just had to ...
I'm so excited to share today's Eye Candy/Indie Genius designer with you because they completely rocked my world with their collection and promotional video. I have to be honest and say that Idia'Dega's prices are a little out of my ...
Sometimes the internet is a wonderful thing. Without it, I never would have stumbled across Betty Belts, by designer Donna van Hoesslin. These belts are not only perfect for Earth Week, but they're pretty much perfect in every sense of ...
As we all know, finding an organic-fabric clothing line that offers something above and beyond blank, basic garments is a little less than impossible. I only say "a little less" because I've been able to discover a handful, Salt's Organic ...
This is an edition of ECIG that is near and dear to my heart. If you read Awakened Aesthetic or Clutch 22, you'll likely have seen the name SPUN before. A Seattle-based woman created Spun - a sustainable, organic clothing ...
This is a very special and very fancy edition of Eye Candy/Indie Genius because... there's a video review! Oh yes! I've evolved! I actually discovered this jewelry designer via Birdie @ Bonne Vie, but couldn't resist testing it out for ...
As someone who has always been a bit put off by the idea of rescinding into a past decade (namely anything after 1960), I have to say, the Seattle grunge-raised girl inside of me is actually getting a twinge of ...
This week's edition of ECIG is special for two reasons. 1. It's the first new ECIG since I spaced out and messed up last week's. (Special!) 2. It's an interview! I came across Janean Johnson's collection of one-of-a-kind pieces on ...
From English Lit. grad to super-designer, Gina Michele is well on her way to being well-known, world-'round. She started by chopping up fabric for her Barbie's clothes, and now spends time dabbling in eco-friendly fabrics, feminine sheaths and deliciously draping ...
Every (-ish) Monday, I've been featuring independent clothing from designers everywhere. Laura Dawson, Erika Hendrix and M641 being some of my favorites. However, when sitting down at my computer this morning (as it precariously teeters on two ancient collapsable TV ...
I've strayed away from my favorite indie designer site, Smashing Darling, today because I keep running into the same amazing designers over and over... I need new! I need fresh! So I've turned to an old standby - Etsy. There ...
I've been really digging the style of the more "seasoned" ladies of the world lately. Especially ladies in their Sunday best, old Italian ladies who look like they could kick your ass, and the ditsy little prints and semi-orthopedic-looking heels ...
If you're not privy to the amazing, wonderful, heart-exploding cuteness that is Fifi Lapin, you'd better catch up quick. The bunny blogs about her life and adventures (nope, no typo) on her namesake blog, located here. She's got one of ...
Speaking of TCO (totally cuted out), if you caught any part of the Erin Featherston Fall/Winter '09 collection, you may be in need of an insulin injection followed by a shot of tequila, because this is getting out of control. ...
Alright. Two weeks ago I asked for your help trying to find a new name for this hybrid post. I'm very disappointed! The only response I got... was from my Mom. Don't get me wrong! I love Mom, and she's ...
Madras 641, or M641, is an independent designer that I discovered on Smashing Darling this morning, then realized I totally follow on Twitter! Small, fashionable world. Not only are her pieces affordable (most I've seen are under $60), but they're ...
Since I first heard the abbreviated version of Diablo Cody's story, I've been totally intrigued. Any news item that pops up about her, I scramble to read. Whether it's out of semi-morbid curiosity or relativity, I'm not sure, but I ...
