All this week, I'll be featuring new, never-before-seen (on this blog) online stores and websites, so be sure to check back every day for the scoop! (I considered calling this "Forever 21-Free Week," but I can't guarantee that I can go a whole 7 days without mentioning my favorite fast-fashion chain.)
To kick things off, I'd like to introduce you to a store that was recently brought to my attention called Ruche (www.shopruche.com), and I think you guys are going to LOVE it.
If you've ever wished you could buy your entire wardrobe from Free People or Anthropologie, but couldn't afford the prices, then Ruche may be your answer. Touted as a "modern women's boutique with a vintage touch," this California-based online store carries a tightly edited collection of unique, fashionable clothing and accessories with that same free-spirited, creative, nouveau-bohemian/gypsy vibe that those pricey stores do so well, but at much lower prices.
Ruche averages a few dollars for beautiful jewelry to about $50 for a coat, with dresses, shoes, tops, handbags and much more falling in the $20 to $30 range. Ruche even has a dedicated eco-friendly category, a handmade accessories category and an awesome sale section.
We'll let the goods speak for themselves, so here's a sampling of just a few of the many amazing things we've found at Ruche so far. Click any image to learn more, and let us know what you think!
Norwegian kimono dress, $39.99. I love the hand-painted feel of the flowers on this dress.
Jarrah marri dreams tank top, $36.99. Add color and pattern to your wardrobe with this lovely top.
Cadette gray high waist bow tie skirt, $32.99. Quite possibly the perfect skirt for summer.
Braided large brownie satchel purse, $49.99. Looks like the sort of vintage treasure you'd find at an upscale second-hand boutique.
Softer than cotton capelet, $42.99. Utterly feminine and romantic, the perfect cover-up too.
Gloriosa daisy hair barrettes, $9.99. Dreamy. Add instant appeal to any hair style.
Rocket Dog "Lisbon" t-strap sandals, $44.00. Casual, elegant, comfy.
