Based in New York, Uncommon Goods is a unique shop that carries various items which are creatively designed. I love how most of the items are by artists and designers and are beautifully constructed as well as affordable. You can find the coolest things in this shop but I warn you, you will want to buy tons!

This year they redesigned their website so its easier and more fun to navigate. I have gotten plenty of gifts for friends and family as well as myself and I recommend you check it out. Their catalogs are impressively designed too. From jewelry to home items, Uncommon Goods offers a wide range of different products. Here are some of my favorites.

I have been loving this shop for awhile and now that they have a bridal selection, I must showcase them as shop of the month. Ruche is a vintage inspired shop that carries everything from clothing and accessories to home decor items. There is so much to choose from and all are priced very well. I also happen to love their website. So pretty!

Husband and wife team, Mai and Josh Olivo, created Ruche from top to bottom. Ideas started brewing in 2005 and three years later shopruche.com was born. Thanks to Mai and her determination to find stylish clothes and accessories, us girls who adore vintage flair have a beautiful place to find things we love. All that hard work paid off for sure. Thanks Mai & Josh!

Here are some of my favorites that express my true style. Enjoy!

This is the first post in a new series where every month I will showcase my favorite shop and some of the items I love. This is also a great opportunity to get inspired by the beautiful photographs each of them show to present the items they sell. So make sure you check back on the first of every month for new shop of the month!

West Elm has always been a love of mine. Their products are modern, fresh and natural. Their minimalist style shown through the design of their products as well as their photography is like a breath of fresh air. You can find lots of inspiration in their catalogs, which are also smartly designed. I recommend you sign up for their mailing list.
