I live for the experience. I want nothing more than to smell the sweet or stale breath of a shop owner or street vender. I love the way clothes fit when they are fresh off the folding table. I want to hear the music and the gossip in the dressing rooms. I want to know why the store is named what it's named and find out first hand "who" they will be hosting for F/W 07.

But sometimes, I find really worth while shit on the internet. And, After all, this is a week of weeks of doing what I said I wouldn't do. Please go here: Etsy.com is an amazing forum for designers and thinkers and artist who love their stuff and want you to love it to. It's the best place to find super unique things at incredibly reasonable prices and help support people who really truly believe in making this world a prettier, fashionable, and all together cooler world to live in.
