Blomming

Blomming is a site in which users can buy or sell their products from your own little shop. 

This is like Etsy, you might say. Well, this is where you wrong.

Blomming allows the user to create their own shop on Facebook, through their page, as well as on their blog, just by adding photos of your product! (none of the 'click on this link' hoohaa). 

You can feature your products on your blog posts, and sell them without ever having to leave the page!

Your products will also feature on your Blomming profile, so other users can see what your selling and hopefully spread the word!

Now, being a budding entrepreneur like my self (see Stray Nails) and not really knowing where to start sharing my product, especially when you have to pay to even put your products on a site, this is the perfect solution! 

As soon as I have enough product (again, stray nails) and some good photos of them (failure to prepare is preparing to fail) I will definitely set up my own little shop on Blomming, excitingggg! 

You can check it out, and open your own shop here. 

Marc Jacobs Nails

So I've recently had a bit of 'Nail Block' (like writers block, but with nails). Nothing has inspired me at all, and if I'm planning on starting to sell these nails, the designs need to be innovative and different. 

We've all seen the tribal nails and dotty nails, they're just not cutting it anymore!

So like any fashion student, I turned to Vogue for help.

I have absolutely no clue why I didnt do this before!

Prints are so big in this upcoming season, so by looking at all the pre ready to wear collections, the inspiration for nail designs was screaming at me!

I started with these, inspired by Marc Jacobs Pre Ready to Wear collection, of which there were many other interesting patterns, these ones stood out and they were simple to put onto nails. 

I know I havent got quite the right green colour, but I still love the contrasting bright colours.

I even put it onto a fake nail and loved the result, contemplating putting this design on my etsy shop when its up and running, what do you guys think? please comment below if you like it!

Its pretty obvious which one is the fake nail here.

 So if you too are stuck for a bit of design inspiration, turn to the people who do it best!

I'm currently working on more designs from 3.1 Phillip Lim and ALICE by Temperley.

Have you seen Svpply?

Svpply is a website which endorses products you love from the companies you know (or don't) and lets you browse them all!

A lot like Pinterest but with just apparel/home products, all unique and beautiful! It uses the same 'follow' system as twitter and Pinterest. But instead of 'pinning' things, you 'want' them, with the 'want' button, the product then appears on your profile for others to see.

There is also a 'buy' button which links you straight to where the product is from so you can buy it yourself.

But be warned, if your like me, no money, then don't enter this website. I have got so down by not being able to buy any of the stuff I'm lusting after. 

You can also add your own products from your own store, or sites you love like ASOS and Etsy to appear on your profile to show off your own style for others to see.

They have a Shop with special hand picked products from the team.

The site can also connect to your Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Pinterest. 

I'm currently working on getting a Svpply widget for this blog, so you can see what I've 'wanted' and be connected straight to my profile to have a browse.

I've put a few of my latest 'wants' below.

Judging by the amount of followers, its clear this site is new, and not widely known. 

It's an american company, which is quite annoying at times for us brits, although most products are available in the UK, some are exclusive to the states. 

So I'm hoping by putting the site out there more, the company will expand and make a UK version!

I recommend checking out this website, you wouldn't believe the amount of beautiful things you'll find on there.
