Independent Fashion: Style Server

I'm amazed at how many and wonderful fashion labels can be accessed through the internet. I'm glad I stumbled upon this online shop StyleServer that promotes independent designers, maybe you've been aware of it longer than I was, and, under its patronage (or maybe is the other way round) this great fashion and art blog: Bored&Beautiful. The shop is based in Berlin and it sells independent international labels, among which Adddress became my new favorite.

If I opened an eBay store

As I love a good bargain, I was browsing the other day through online stores and boutiques, looking for cheap designer jeans, something on sale, and I came across Merchandize Liquidators, a worldwide distributor for overstock merchandise and not only, offering wholesale prices. These guys supply wholesale designer clothing from high end department stores closeouts, so the apparel and the shoes also are all first quality.
They sell jeans, sweaters, tops, pants, dresses, skirts, sweat pants and jackets from brands like Liz Claiborne, Ralph Lauren, BCBG, Guess and many others. What got my attention, though, was the jeans lot that includes brands like Diesel, True Religion, Seven for All Mankind, Paper Denim, G star, Wrangler, Lee, Citizens, Ernest Sewn, Rock & Republic and also big designer names such as DKNY and Calvin Klein. I did put my eyes on a pair of stretch denim shorts in a lovely indigo wash from DKNY but, unfortunately for me, they offer only the wholesale price for it.

Enchanted

This is not about the recent flick from Walt Disney (though I must admit I was thinking a bit at McDreamy) but about these lovely illustrations and jewelry I found at etsy.com. I've always been a sucker for fairy tales and for everything with a magical charm.

Window shopping in Vienna

While in Vienna I did a little window shopping among other 'special agent' Stylish Girl duties. I'm really interested how fashion retailers can capture the brand essence; I mean the store's window plays a big part in the whole marketing strategy. I now remember that one of my favorite classes was merchandising (mainly because I could make use of my colored crayons but shhh...don't tell anyone else).

I found lovely Christmas decorating ideas at Leiner. Useful color themes for future home decor projects: white and gold, black-blue-green and yellow-orange-brown.

Christmas color theme: Black and White

Black and white is my favorite color scheme (non-color, in fact). It looks incredible stylish and you can avoid sobriety by adding golden or silver small details. I adore minimalist looks so I'll keep this décor theme in mind for my future home decorating ventures.
