This is my latest story using polyvore selections. I love playing with this program. Its so intuitive! But after it's all put together I realized how many cool little pretties are here that I would like to give a shout out about. The first little pretties that I must speak about are the 'tea time' and biscuit hair accessories. These hair clips have tiny little teacups, and biscuits (British word for cookies) attached.
The company that represents these hair clips is Hannah Zakari, an independent online boutique specialising in items which are designed or handmade by indie designers with an emphasis on cute, quirky and unusual designs. It's owned and run by Rachael Lamb, in Edinburgh, Scotland. Check them out at http://www.hannahzakari.co.uk.
Now, the other goodies in this story are from some big names, who are mentioned in the list below, and yes they are lovely! The Jimmy Choo silver sparkle heels are delicious! But I think in the future I will abstain from big names only to give the little guys some air time. So, please if you read this, turn us on to some independently made pretties to feature!
The polyvore thing does make it easy though folks. I read some on etsy about the bad rap they got because of folk grabbing images without permission and copyright fears. I hear ya, but now etsy is blocked from uploads to polyvore. So, if you want your images up there it has to come from another source, such as an independent website or blog. But really, airtime is airtime folks. Be careful of course, but get your stuff out there! It ain't gonna sell in the closet.
