I got an email from Anissa at I Adore Style, who also runs IndieShopping.com and FemminaStyle.com.

I’m skimming through her sites as I blog. I Adore Style covers pretty mainstream fashion - think Chanel shows and Clinique bronzers - while IndieShopping.com and FemminaStyle.com both pimp indie and vintage clothing. Browsing these two e-boutiques, I’m thinking how I love this shift from indie as an aesthetic to truly independent design and production, from “emerging designers” meaning less DIY hipster and more handcrafted hip.

Check these My Olivette crochet flower earrings, for instance. So quirky-chic, I smell a knock-off look-a-like pair at Anthropologie in fall.
