HIGHSNOBETTE

Etsy has been highlighted here before. If you haven't been, it's a site where people can sell their stuff. It's kind of like EBay except there's no time limit or bidding. And I don't know about all Etsy categories (like furniture and various sundry other crap), but the people who sell clothing there seem to be younger and a lot less cuckoo-cuckoo than the typcial Ebay sellers with their flashing, flower-filled wallpapers and 15 paragraphs on how you're gonna burn in hell if you don't send them their money immediately and don't even THINK about trying to send anything back. Even if, like in my case, they send you dresses that end up being much bigger than you thought 'cause they were pinned back in the photos or shirts with runs they forgot to mention or size 11 shoes that were actually a MEN's size 11 and so on down the line.

So basically even thought you have to sift through a bunch of gross hippie crap on Etsy--plus ever new damn Mom thinking she has to start a infant clothing line (Ugh!)--it's still a LOT better than Ebay. Plus, besides vintage stuff, there are a lot of designers there who make there own stuff and some of it is pretty cute.

So, here are some things I came across this past week that I thought you guys would appreciate. I listed the seller's name and linked to it under the image:

^^NeNee Mod Sequined Mini

^^Future Vintage '70s Disco Mesh Bag

^^ShannahMMignini Mod Mod Sandals

Click to the right to see more images including some AMAZING retro Nikes. (But because the backend of HighSnobette can sometimes be a total pain in the ASS, I can't link to the buyers on the other page. You'll just have to go to the site and search for them. You're a smart bunch, I'm sure you can manage.)
