BTC Elements organic cotton wiggle dressOrganic, ethically-sourced fashion that works well with a diverse array of looks, from belted elvishness to tight corsetted pencil wiggle. Cowl necks, wide-legged pants, ruffled blouses, dresses that run the gamut from family get-togethers to hot dates, trenchy little coats, bathing suits, and hoodies of course. Much of the jewelry captures the natural patterns of feathers and leaves in recycled gold and silver, and the bags tend towards the bright and flowery.

Dreadworx hair wrapDread care and decor. They stock all the waxes, shampoos, conditioners, and tighteners needed for healthy maintenance, plus dyes and bleach, and special combs and anti-frizz tools to keep everything neat. Tams, wraps, wooden hairpins, and beads with little googly eyes make up the adornment section, and they’ve got some unusual specialty products to cut down on all the little frustrations that can come with knotting up your hair: microfibre towels to halve drying time, showercaps and sock hats for keeping all the locks out of the way while bathing or sleeping, rubber bands that won’t quickly snap to death. Also body polish, club toys, ear stretching kits, and a little hemp clothing.

Finroo Twice the Evil t-shirtA crowdsourced catalog of arty tees, full of graffiti-surf-skate imagery with dedicated pages for the skulls and guns. It’s a pretty mixed bag, the elegant and evil and insane printed on organic bamboo and limited to runs of 200 each. It’s almost all white backgrounds for now – other colors, hopefully black among them, are on the way.
