Most days at work are pretty slow, which allows for endless hours of style-searching on the Internet. One of my favorite sites to visit is Etsy. An online swap-meet of sorts where users post their--often hand-crafted--creations and vintage finds.

Its hard to sort through all the junk that people think they can sell just because they handmade it. I have found, however, a few incredibly talented designers that have listed their wares.

In particular the designer liinok caught my eye. Her simple cuts are well thought out, appear well made and are a bargain considering the price similar styles cost at Barneys. Her color pallet of rich jewel tones are fashion forward for spring with there heavy use employed in the looks of upcoming fall styles.

I love this silky blouse with a shirred detail. Of all the colors, I suggest the rich electric blue. This luminous stunner works equally well with a black pencil skirt for work as with some worn in jeans and flat sandals for play.
