Indie Fashion in the OC
If you haven't already seen the site shopadele.com, take my word for it and bookmark it immediately. It's a clothing boutique in Laguna Beach, California, founded by two New York transplants, and it's got a carefully edited inventory made up of sleek and just-a-touch-unusual pieces by some of the best independent designers. There's amazing stuff by House of Dagmar, like this sheer dove gray blouse that initially looks rather simple, but upon closer inspection actually has tons of interesting details (epaulets, elaborate pleating, voluminous sleeves, detachable scarf); it somehow all works really well together. And from Whyred, this great little cap-sleeved Cilla dress is so chic and neat it reminds me of the type of thing a Hitchcock heroine would have worn. Take your time combing through the rest of the site. There's a ton to see, including a pretty outstanding selection of jewelry, and you definitely don't want to miss anything.
