A Few Of My Favourite Things...

I've been thinking, in addition to the Illustrated Investment Wardrobe project i'm starting, that it would be cool to show you which unique independent brands i've been loving every other month. For the month of June, I have two very cool sites for your shopping and lusting pleasure!

 

The Pokey Hat

 The Pokey Hat is a Scottish based online store founded by Jennifer Welford that is up for Retailer Of The Year at the prestigious Scottish Fashion Awards. The Pokey Hat sell a mixture of on trend clothing, vintage beauts and even up-cycled clothing, so there's something to suit everyones taste. I've been loving, and eyeing up The Pokey Hat Arcade section of their site, which stocks a number of indie boutiques and brands, The Camel Hall Pant and Black Annie Jacket are my favourite picks of the site!

 Need Supply Co.

Need Supply Co. are a Virginia based boutique sell a mixture of vintage pieces and items from contemporary designers worldwide. If I'm honest Need Supply Co. are like the cooler and more mature version of Urban Outfitters with a heftier price tag. But that aside, I absolutely love everything on their site, from their clothing to their home ware items, they are all beautifully presented and I like the laid back aesthetic the brand has. My picks from Need Supply Co. are the Pineapple Love stockings, The Adelaide Dress and the Macrame Hanging Terrarium.

I am actually wearing yellow! Karma Clothing contacted me asking me if I could do a little look book featuring their holiday shop products, and for some reason I was drawn to the brighter colours on their website, for someone who is almost always dressed in black on a daily basis, this was odd for me, but i think the lack of summer here made me want to make my own sunshine!

Skater dresses, in my opinion are one of the most flattering fits a girl can wear because they nip in at the waist and fall freely around the hips, so if like myself you are the proud owner of 'Child bearing' hips, this would be a great style of dress for you!

I'm smiling in a picture! Miracles never cease to happen, but this was probably due to the fact that I spent the day in the company of Natalie and Risa. We trekked around Soho for the Looking.Gd launch party (There will be a post up about the day very soon!) and soaked up the wonderful summer vibes. 
All photo's were taken by Natalie as my camera decided not to work on the day, but i'm so happy it didn't now because i am totally and irrevocably (a la Bella Swan) in love with her Camera! It's a Canon 600D with a Portrait lens, and it's now on my Birthday present to myself list!

If you haven't checked out Looking.Gd's site, go, go, go and start uploading what you're Looking.gd in! See what i did there? Hehehe
