Shop of the Month: Joss & Main

I'm always thrilled to come across awesome deals curated by design-driven shops like Joss & Main. I've been subscribed to their site for a few weeks now and love getting updates on their new "events." With discounts on everything from magazine subscriptions to Turkish rugs, there's always something new to discover on their site- thus, making them the ideal MDP Shop of the Month! If this strikes your fancy, you might also be interested in checking out similar sites featuring collective discounts- like Fab.com, Gilt.com, Ideeli.com...

Unique LA Holiday Show

I know where I'll be getting some of my Holidays shopping done this weekend... So excited!!

Molten Store Tour

Don't you just love going into shops where every object feels like a treasure waiting to be discovered? That's what I love about the Molten Store. Every piece sold feels unique and special in it's own way. However, until recently they've only been an online store. But they've finally launched a home store - and this is a sneak-peak...

Buyer's Guide: FALL 2011

I always look forward to seeing what thrift-trade stores like Crossroads & Buffalo Exchange have on their buying lists each season. I use it as a sort of personal shopping guide when I go out. Their employees spend loads of time researching trends- doing all the hard work for the rest of us! This is the little buyer's chart Crossroads just posted up- and it may give you some ideas for your shopping list this Fall... and I must say I like what I'm seeing!

ALSO, you should totally check out THIS great article about how to sell your own clothes at stores like Crossroads.

If you ever wondered how to sell to Crossroads, this practical guide from Beth makes it easy…" CLICK TO READ MORE...

The Everyday Life Store

Really loving this new shop I just came across- The Everyday Life Store.  It's based in Singapore, which is apparent when you see the geometric prints mixed with striking modern cuts and hems. Here are some new images from their moodbook- but I urge you to take a look around at some of their July arrivals (super cute stuff.) The prices are great and a lot of the clothing looks very wearable... I suppose thats why they named it "Everday Life" :)
