Replicca Clothing Company

I am forever having an Indie Clothing downer because I have yet to find a company who carries a real plus sized line, sooooooooo since I cannot buy from most of these companies, I have to share them with the rest of you, with the hopes that you will be able to partake in the fun and inspiring designs for me!!!  I was looking for red, (it’s a favorite color of mine) and up popped this Red Riding Hood dress/tunic from Replicca Clothing.  I was instantly intrigued, so I continued to browse and am I glad I did.  There are tons of absolutely adorable tops and tunic dresses available from their shop.  I was attracted to the shoulder detailing and also the feminine bows and ruffles!  Hailing from Ontario Canada, all the shop’s owner and designer Rebecca Duyzer want to do is “romace her sweing machines all day”, and from the looks of her designs I think that’s a good idea…keep em coming!

1. “Patchwork the Second, Large” $47

2. “Tease Me Please, SALE, Small” $32.75

3. “Ruffle Ruffle Bow, Small” $46

4. “Stripe Me Delighted, Medium” $47

5. “Little Red Riding HOOD, Large” $55

6. “Sail Away With Me, Medium” $38.75

I am the headband queen, you may beg to differ.  But I am.  I buy them CONSTANTLY in an attempt to tame my curly locks!  My favorite kinds?  Handmade of course…thick ones and thin ones and bright ones and dark ones.  A headband for every mood is my motto.  What do I love more than headbands?  Headbands with an Asian flair!  And I found some at Looby Lou Crafts.  I was gonna post the ones I really loved…but decided to buy them for myself instead…SORRY!  Maybe I’ll post pics of me wearing them later on!  For now, check out these others in the shop:

“Japanese Cherry Blossom on Red” $7.95

“Japanese Tangled Ume Blossom on Purple” $7.95

Artist Paddy Hartley

Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007 Posted in Accessories, For Men | No Comments »

I came across these wallets made by London based artist Paddy Hartley on Etsy and I have never seen anything like them! They are a great anytime gift for the man in your life who is hard to buy for, as well as a fantastic holiday find! Each one is constructed by Paddy himself using cotton and bold imagery “…derived from atomic civil defense and public information films, experimental aircraft of the 1940s/70s…” Please visit both his own website and his Etsy shop for more wallet designs!

Paddy will also be in an upcoming exhibit at the Museum of Arts and Design called “Extreme Embroidery” that will run from November 8, 2007 through March 9, 2008. If you are in the NYC area….you won’t want to miss it! You can find more information about his work at Project Facade.

“Trapped” $70

 

“Atomic War in Space” $70
