it's like summer but not quite

 

(sweater River Island, shorts H&M, bag Chloe, wedges Jeffrey Campbell, bracelet VASILIEVA)

This is my sort of post vacation day to day look. Denim shorts and a chunky knit.To make it less boring, paired with it with Jeffrey Campbell's sparkly foxys.

Dernièrement, j'ai découvert un eshop suédois assez cool via le blog de Victoria qui s'appelle Chapnlle (ne me demandez pas comment ça se prononce, je suis aussi perplexe que vous). J'y ai trouvé plein de choses assez sympa dont une pochette rouge. Elle existe d'ailleurs en plein plein plein de coloris (rose, noir, beige, jaune, bleu etc.). Pour la faire courte, aussitôt commandée, aussitôt reçu

e. Les frais de port s'élèvent à 15 euros, c'est pas donné mais mon colis a été expédié le jour même de la commande et il était dans ma boite aux lettres 72h plus tard. Presque aussi rapide qu'un eshop français! Et puis c'était bien emballé et tout et tout. Du coup, j'hésite à me commander leur copycat du PS1 de Proenza Schouler. PS: pour faire la conversion prix suédois/prix en euros il suffit en gros de diviser par 10 (249 = 24,90 euros par exemple).

* Ajout T-shirt UK Sandro dans le Vide-Dressing et baisse des prix. *

 

I recently logged on to Victoria's fashion blog and I discovered the existence of the swedish fashion online store Chapnlle (don't tell me how to pronounce that, I don't know neither :p). I found a lot of great stuff, including a red clutch. It's also available in several colours (pink, blue, black, beige etc.). Let me sum up my experience with this site : it was perfect! I placed my order and my package was sent promptly. Shipping fees are a bit expensive (15 euros for France) but the delivery is also very quick. I am now wondering about getting a copy of their Proenza Schouler PS1 copycat.

Well, Blogger is back up and running, but all of the comments were deleted from my last post! Bummer.

 I wanted to draw your attention specifically to this radsauce belt, courtesy of the brand new online shop www.herej.com.   It's a super-cute shop full of win run by an adorable gal named Jane; I think Jane might also be a KTownian. Jane was kind enough to gift me this belt and a pair of crazy acid-washed jogging shorts that are more closely-related to underwear than to actual clothing deemed acceptable by society, which means that I am obviously in love with them and can't wait to show them to you in a future post. In the meantime, take a gander at www.herej.com. I think y'all will find some treasures there.

Today's real "talky" part of the blog is about Jishike, a line of bags founded by Ralph Lauren alum Sinead Fyda. While volunteering at a school in Tanzania, East Africa, Fyda became inspired to work with local women outside of the classroom in an effort to dramatically improve the quality of life for them and their children. By teaching 25 of these women how to sew and craft stunning bags in a variety of shapes and sizes, Fyda was able to provide their families with sustainable income, manifesting in electricity for their homes and a greater contribution towards their children's educations. Each product on the Jishike website lists the artisan who made it, along with the time it took her to craft the piece, and what her family can do with the money you spend to purchase it. Also, the bags are amazingly cool, and given how phenomenal the story is behind them, I would even be willing to carry a clutch. Loyal readers will know that this is shocking, indeed!

$115, 10 days of labor, profit funds two months' food and rent for artisan's family

$175, 12 days of labor, profit funds two years' schooling for one of artisan's children

$60, 7 days of labor, profit funds one year's schooling for one of artisan's children

Aren't they just perfect? I think the little pouches, coming in between $50-$60, would be a wonderful gift; it's really a shame that Mother's Day already passed!
