Meet Inés Aguilar and Iván Martínez the 2 amazing designers behind for "la casita de wendy". Their brand made an epic grow just in a short amount of time and is now one of the most popular brands in Europe and I can imagine why. Their designs do not scream haut couture but just the opposite… it available for everyone or as the designer duo would say it is designed for 'real people beyond all fashion trends' and that is in my opinion why they are the newest fashion icons in Europe!

They not only design clothes but they carry some amazing accessories in their collection check out this pillow cover named Ana its a drawing of a girl on a bicycle but what makes this black and white drawing so special is the mystical feeling you get while looking at it.

I also really  like is the crafter projects that ‘’la casita de wendy’’ has as a category in their shop. You will find the most fun but beautiful thing like the handmade dolls designed by MIMOKO for "la casita de wendy". The dolls are little ‘’cuteness-monsters’’ with a splash of sassiness. The vintage dresses they are wearing are made out of taffeta fabrics and their faces are embroidered on. There are 5 dolls with all same dresses but different pants 😉

So who needs Paris, Milan or New York when you can also shop until you drop at la casita de wendy!

Maldonado is a handmade jewelry shop, where contemporary meets geometric, and fun designs. Each piece is handcrafted using silver, and from what I can tell none are exactly the same. Maldonado has a large variety of pieces to choose from, such as earrings, rings, cufflinks to bookmarks, or brooches. 

Omar Maldonado is the craftsman behind Maldonado jewelry, and he is located in Argentina. He started out using metals and wood, but decided to try his hand at silver, and today it is his medium of choice. You can learn more about him, and see pictures of his studio here. – Sponsor Spotlight

Just had a lovely time visiting Rand Papele, each of their pieces of jewelry have such a delicate shape about them, though often their edges are sharp. Their Spring and Summer 2012 collection is what I have mainly featured above and it is called, "The Archer" which is a perfect name, because not only are many of the shapes arrow like, but it feels medieval, and romantic.

Rand Papele was created by Eben Papele and Judith Rand who make all their lovely pieces in a peaceful town north of New York City. You can see which retailers are stocking their products here, and glimpses of their studio, and how they create their jewelry here. – Sponsor Spotlight

Oh Lili’s what lovely things you have. I was thoroughly enjoying my visit, and it felt like each item had been hand selected. I always like to feel that way when I am shopping, to see that the items purchased are ones that the owner themselves fell in love with. Judging by the about us page, that is exactly what Lili’s wants you to feel.

You can find those wonderful geometric pillows here. If you are interested in the cups, you can find them here.

Relique is my kind of shop, I could spend hours on this website. I am an antique, vintage loving fool and have been since I was quite young. I like to think of these places as my libraries. Relique has a wonderful selection, and for all kinds of decorative tastes. You can find my picks (above) here and here.
