gypsy.
i instantly became a fan of kate ruggiero’s hawai’i-inspired line of handmade underwear, gypsy, when i discovered her little shop. the new yorker fell in love with hawai’i while visiting once and now enjoys the island lifestyle. each piece in her line is handsewn and are basically one-of-a-kind because of how she searches out unique fabrics from all over the globe and purchases them in small quantities. the dreamy photographs and visions of the beach have me wanting to book a trip home {now!}…
among the wildflowers; the kiss; misty roses; daydream: $24.00/each

stewart + brown.
today is earth day. but then again, we should really be good to her each and every single day, right? so i thought that it would only be appropriate to feature a company like stewart + brown. they are eco-friendly 365 days per year! the spring line has so many pieces that have me wishing for sunnier days. and everything looks so darn comfy…

sunhee moon.
have you ever visited sunhee moon here in san francisco? it is a little ridiculous that i haven’t featured the small boutique before. you know how i often mention not being the biggest clothing shopper? well, this shop is one that when i am in the mood or in need of something new i head to. what i adore about shopping at the two boutiques is that they have superior customer service. the girls are always friendly and genuinely helpful. they take their time to ensure you find what is right for you.
the san francisco company supports other local businesses by using primarily american-made fabrics and producing their clothes in small quantities not far from their headquarters in the mission district. sunhee graduated from university of california at berkeley and continued her studies by heading to italy to learn more about art history. she traveled throughout india and asia before starting her line.
sunhee moon‘s aesthetic is clean and classic, yet modern. she pulls inspiration from the 1950′s era {hello, classics!}. the styles are really flattering on various body types and the color palette always makes me happy. each item from the shop can easily blend its way in to your current wardrobe {which is important when you’re a picky-i-don’t-like-to-shop-shopper like me}. the items are so well-made and i never fail to receive compliments on the items i have when i wear them. oh, and i even like the way the store is arranged – blocks of color grouped together. perfect like a rainbow!
