Etsy Obsessed: Apparel

I’m a loud-mouthed, legally blonde, wannabe writer, enjoying life in the Big D with my new, sweet husband and our errant terrier, The Boom. My passion for gorgeous footwear, wine and cheese, heinous reality television, and pretty paper colors the “pages” of my personal blog Elefantitas Alegres. You can also find me moonlighting as Fashionista Vista – otherwise known as my attempt to make the world a smidge more fashionable, one online purchase at a time!

Welcome back to Week #2 of my series featuring my favorite Etsy finds!  If you missed last week’s post on ceramics, you can find it here. This week – as kiddos around the country pack their backpacks and brown-bag lunches – its all about the fashion!  Just think of this as a little Adult Back to School Shopping! Now let’s get on with it…

Portland-based designer Liza Rietz creates frocks, jackets and hats that are both softly feminine and architecturally modern at the same time.  Plus, can you really ever beat a garment that is custom-tailored to your measurements?   The Ruffle Dress, Kimono Jacket, and Ruffle Bib Dress are my picks for versatile investment pieces combining classic lines with up-to-date details.

Flattering, comfy jersey-cotton tops and dresses boasting flirty ruffle details are seller Liorla’s hallmark.  I am especially digging the styles that can be worn seven different ways!

Rose la Biche

The bad news is that Rose la Biche’s shop has gone on holiday while this designer moves back to Paris (lucky-duck!).  The fabulous news is that you can get your rosette and ruffle (I’m assuming my proclivities are becoming rather obvious at this point) fix come October – just in time inject a little fun into your fall wardrobe!
