Here are some pretties from Etsy with a definite fall vibe. Two of the items are already sold but the purses are still available.

Ribbon tied clutch in maroon herringbone $48 from Angharad

Tippythai khaki canvas twill bag $39

What have you found that is cool on Etsy lately?

Trunkt is an interesting site. It is an online magazine that celebrates independent designers, crafters and artists and gives them a place to show and sell their works. It is also a fun place to browse and shop. Here are some items from my Trunkt wishlist.

The purse is by Blissbyheather $49, the top is by Bella Sera Baby $20, the rose tablecloth $115 and the journal $10 are both by Henry Road Home.
Look around here and you will find some familiar Etsy artists and some new artists. A nice find!

I found a fun contest on Modcloth that is running until September 3. You create your perfect “back to school” outfit from the site Polyvore, (such a fun time-waster for me!) and submit it and you can win a $100 gift certificate for clothes or accessories at Modcloth. Here is a an example of one I made:

Modcloth was founded by Susan Gregg, who began it four years ago to support her thrifting habit. Now it has grown to a place to find cool apparel and accessories by lots of indie designers. Surf around to see vintage clutches and one of a kind shoes and cute, cute fruit necklaces.
