Shop review: Present&Correct

Posted: Mar 3, 2011 | Posted by ana | Labels: , , 1 comments

I hope you're prepared for today's shop, I'm sure it will shake your ground :-)

Have you ever visited Present&Correct shop? Not even by accident? Well, let me tell you that if you haven't you really should pay a visit to this gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous shop. Be prepared because you'll want to snag a lot of the precious items they have for sale.

The store is based in London but ships worldwide {hurray!!!}. They start on 2003 as a result of a long-term obsession with stationery.

Present&Correct sells their own creations but also handmade goods, vintage items and work by designers from all over the world. Isn't that great?! They put a lot of effort trying to find all the great items they have so you can had some fun to your desk, wall, home, etc...

From my shopping experience with Present&Correct I can tell you that the shipping is fast, the items arrive perfectly wrapped in beautiful packages.

Do I need to say that they are graphic designers? Can you see it by the pictures? As I was choosing the pictures to showcase I was thinking "OMG!!! the pictures are so graphic". The way the objects are aligned, the colors, the shadows. They should make postcards of the pictures & put them for sale. I know I would buy a few. Wouldn't you?!

Make sure you visit the prize page & sign for the "list of things to do" :-)

Shop review: Urban Outfitters

Posted: Feb 24, 2011 | Posted by ana | Labels: , 2 comments

Today I’ll be reviewing another fabulous online shop where I’ve purchased a few women’s wear & home ware items, so I hope you’re in the mood for some shopping ideas my dears?

Urban Outfitters is that kind of shop where you can always find something that you’d like. Why? The answer is simple: they have an exciting mix of products for different trends & tastes.

The shop has 3 main sections {i'm talking about the UK shop}: women, men & home ware. Each one of them filled with interesting and unique items. Urban Outfitters main concern it’s to find a large range of different items to fulfill their customer’s needs.

I must say they manage to do it season after season.

If you never heard about Urban Outfitters & you got curious about their brand visit the shop & do a little browsing for yourself?
I'm loving the Pins & Needles Little Bows Tee myself...

Shop review: Plümo

Posted: Feb 17, 2011 | Posted by ana | Labels: , 0 comments

Are you feeling in the mood for some shopping my dears?
I wanted to present you Plümo shop. It was probably one of the first shops I found & bought something online from.

They are based in the UK but they ship worldwide, you can even choose the currency between british pounds, euros or dollars. Don't you just love when shops ship worldwide?! Maybe is not such a big issue for US residents but because I live in Portugal it can be annoying sometimes, when you find that perfect piece for you or for your home & the shop does not ship internationally. I remember that Anthropologie didn't ship outside the US a few years ago, I sent them about 5 or 6 emails asking for it & probably a lot of other people must have done the same because they have a european shop these days.

But back to the subject, at Plümo you can find real unusual finds for women & for the home. Everything I've bought from them made people ask me {even in the middle of the street} where did I bought my umbrella, my sandals, etc... My experience with this shop is 110% pleased :)

Plümo gathers work from artisans, co-operatives from Africa to Asia, fresh designers, creative people, they sell hand made products from all over the world that are unusual and hard to find.

Their co-operative & social consciousness work has helped small local businesses and families from poor countries build & manage fair incomes to support themselves. They also work with fair trade accredited companies.

So when someone shop's from Plümo is also supporting all the artisans, the crafters, the small & family business.

Have you ever thought about it? Did you find anything you love?
