In these times we are all thinking about how we can feel a bit better about shopping especially for clothing and that's why I get so darn excited about etsy.
It's like a huge ethical shopping centre and with a bit of rootling you can find some really great vintage pieces and some amazing designs from small producers and crafts people.
Every purchase gives you a glow of excitement as you think how happy you just made that shopkeeper and how happy your going to be when the postman rings the bell instead of just stuffing the bills through!
I am in the lucky position not to have to worry too much about money (Daddy's carrot and lettuce shares are still doing just about ok) but I do have friends who aren't so lucky, and being lucky doesn't stop me shopping on etsy... I do love playing personal shopper!
I'm waiting patiently for this 'Fontaine dress' to come back in stock.... pretty please

first up - I love the shape of this dress from Ramona West and the gorgeous button detailing, and I think it goes perfectly with the gladiator sandals... get some similar bargain ones here
This faceted labradorite ring from Catherine Chandler is a little statement for your finger, I just love that deep blue colour

or an oversized 'colour of the moment' coat with skyscraper platforms?
or the sweetest short suit?
sigh!
everything is so delicious!
just look at these darling brooches
Here's a sneak peek from my current wardobe
hey.
It's so magical with that amazing house as a backdrop and the beautiful tree swamped in twinkling lights. This year I hear that Tiffanys are putting up a giant iconic duck egg blue gift box from which they will be serving cupcakes, candy canes and gingerbread men. I didn't think it could get more perfect, how wrong was I!
I'm loving the simplicity of this Alex and Chloe necklace
i love these but sadly they seem to be no longer available... perhaps if we ask nicely
I love the way the silver boots contrast with the pretty kimono style print
ooh bring on my 'need some sunshine or I'll get the serious blues' winter holiday
...and they've just introduced the limited edition shirt, the first one is perfectly titled 'dose of optimism' now that is something we all need!
