The level of bubbly devotion and desire to emulate that many females express for their girl crushes is one that I tend to reserve more for online boutiques. (Of course, in the case of a store, it's not so much emulate as it is acquire.) Bona Drag is probably the best example of this; I nursed quite the infatuation over the store, doodling about it in my notebook in the manner of "dreamecho luvs [fill in obsession's name here]".

As with all crushes, one is allowed and, more importantly, able to have more than one at a time. Good thing, too, because Pixie Market has wedged its way into my heart. Or, more accurately, my heart has expanded to embrace Pixie Market – after all, the heart grows bigger as it loves.

And so, apparently, does the closet when dreamecho finds such a retailer of zany prints, architectural details, uncommon silhouettes and foreign lines unavailable elsewhere in the US. To be sure, I've been browsing through and buying from the online store since last summer. (I haven't made it down to the brick and mortar in NYC yet – a matter that shall soon be rectified.) Featuring the store on my blog at this point is more out of a desire to document my perpetual wonderment at and relishing of Pixie Market's offerings than an effort to be news-y and cutting-edge. Up to the minute headlines aren't what I typically do anyway. If anything, this might qualify as a Conspicuous Consumption post as well, because I already have in my posession the sequin capelet, drop crotch jeans and polka dot romper.



A word of caution: I read in Lucky a while ago that pieces were available in limited quantities, and that has indeed been my experience. Items and sizes often run out quickly, especially for the good stuff. I pretty much stalk the What's New page weekly so I don't miss out. Also worth noting is that even if an item or size gets sold out, there is still hope. I've checked back for items that I missed out on and found them back online a month later.
