Another great handmade bag from Etsy. The Camper Satchel is made from waxed canvas with leather strap closures. It has two expandable pockets, two smaller flat pockets on the side, and can also be customized by way of fabric or size. “This multipurpose bag is designed with a roll top so it is easy to get in and out of as well as being adjustable for either small or large loads.” I am loving the utilitarian look of this bag. Shake it.

Lauren Moffatt, is by far one of my favorite clothing designers. Oh how I love the looks she creates. Last fall’s collection was amazing, and she has done it yet again this spring. Shake it Lauren.
This spring Thomas Paul has a new collection of silk scarfs. I have a feeling one could only have a good day wearing a colorful, silk scarf with pom poms. Shake it.
Karen Walker is a New Zealand born designer with a reputation for her original, effortless and unpretentious style. At first glance her look is almost too conservative for me, and yet there is something offbeat and sexy about it. Shake it Karen.
I think I would be just fine living my life in British brand All Saints clothing. Sexy, well made pieces with just the right amount of edge. They have a great site with a youtube lookbook…outerwear to pretty underwear. Shake it All Saints.
Last year I was on a search for the perfect lace up ankle boots. I eventually found them on one of the big clothing sites. They were by a brand named ASOS that I had never heard of based in the UK. Since then I have noticed ASOS mentioned on a few fashion blogs I follow. Thought I should take a look…whoa! A huge site with dearly selected lines. From sweet professional, to oh so sexy. ASOS shakes it.

Sally Mcdonald and Micah Hamdorf, the husband and wife creators of Rittenhouse , have developed a clothing label in Australia which blends simplistic design with casual elegance. Timeless pieces that I would love to mix with knit caps, jewelry, and scarves. The quality of the pieces, the design, would be a delightful canvas to build ones own personal style around. It’s always fun to shake it up a bit…
