Anyone who knows me knows that I love a good cheeseburger.  HOWEVER, I fully recognize and appreciate that there are those whose beliefs dictate a different course.  Enter these beautiful bags from Crystalyn Kae.  While they look (and frankly feel) like leather they are 100% guilt free “glazed” fabric.  I happen to love the ones with the beautiful vintage fabric peaking out of the clever pleats.  Style, function, and guilt free, what’s not to love?

I am a little obsessed with Prairie Underground.  In my defense, it’s really easy to be.  These great clothes are filled with such detail and style that they are litterly head turning, but in adition they are the most comfortable well loved items in my closet.  Season after season.  If this were not enough the line is made of organic cotton! Love, love, love (sorry I can’t help myself).

There is lots of great Indie out there, especially in the blogasphere.  In particular, I love to read Anything Indie, Indie Fix, Indie Shopping, and Clothes-Pin, there are daily reads for me.  I hope to be able to dip my toe in the water here and hopefully join with my favorites to post all about independent shops and products who do a good job of keeping our retail options unique. Please stop by to browse around and let me know what you think by commenting!
