Internet Shop Girl

The whole found-object movement, coupled with the recycled paper movement, has totally swept me up, so it should come as no suprise that I’m in love with Pica Pica.

Take, for example, this “library card necklace”. Repurposing old-school library cards has never been so fun!

Or this “stamp collector necklace”, which combines the whimsy and discipline of stamp-collecting!

My favorite piece, however, is this “san fransisco bowl”, made from an old map of this amazing city! Head on over to Pica Pica’s site for more whimsical and one-of-a-kind pieces like these!

Gerbera Designs is this great online shop that specializes in great bags and IPod cozies. But don’t think that’s the only thing this shop specializes in. They’ve got hair pins and more for your non-bag related needs! Plus, should you see something you want but can’t quite pick up immediately, you can set up a wishlist! That’s my kind of shopping!

Do you follow celeb gossip and fashion? Wish there was a cheaper way to dress like your favorite star? If so, then you need to know about In Style’s online column “Look For Less“. As they see stars out and about in recreatable ensembles, they post them on this page, giving you the original outfit as a reference, and then stores such as “Forever 21″ and “Urban Outfitters” that carry similar items.

Today’s focus? Rachel Bilson. And while I just can’t get behind skinny jeans, I love this casual look! Best part? You can get the whole thing, from the jacket and scarf to the pants and shirt, even down to the shoes, for just about $100!

Have you met Blissen yet? It’s one of my favorite online stores, if only for eye candy alone. And by eye candy, I mean of the notecard and notebook variety!

Take this notebook, for example. Totally reasonably priced, and just plain gorgeous.

Or these notecards. Because seriously? I need to own both of these things. And every time I head back to Blissen’s website, I find more and more amazing things I didn’t see the last time.

Good lord I love this shop! Liza Rietz sells everything from amazing cloche hats, to kimono jackets and amazing jumpers! Some of the items can be a little pricier, but all are well worth it, as they’re incredibly well made. And just plain gorgeous!

Selling items since 2001, Liza’s clothes have been featured in boutiques everywhere from Portland to Seattle to Los Angeles and Washington DC! Made from all-natural items such as cotton, linen and even bamboo, you can feel good wearing such Earth-friendly items, and knowing that each season’s designs are made in small runs, your clothes will be not only beautiful and comfortable but all-but one of a kind!

check out the latest in the “is she pregnant or isn’t she?” gossip over at Brad Pitt Watch. There’s some potentially damning pictures to view!

Oh my lord, this bag is amazing! I wish I’d known about it ten years ago. With tons of organizing compartments and room to stash a book, laptop, or stack of magazines, this bag is the quintessential bag for every working woman! Head on over to the Butler Bag website to check out not only their purses but their bangles and accessories and even their cocktail and “allure” clutches!
