Gilbea’s “Get the Look” June 18, 2008
Etsy sends out a daily email called “etsy finds”. I have subscribed and am a loyal reader. This usually gets me lost in Etsy land for quite a while. It’s a viral trail.
Etsy Finds features different people who do the “finding”. Once a week it is GilBea’s turn and her theme is “get the look”. Each week she picks a different celebrity to inspire her search through the lands of Etsy where she comes up with several outfits to create the latest celebrity’s look which are entirely composed of handmade (or vintage) treasures from the Etsy community.
From the Etsy email (which is truncated) there is a link to her blog where you can read a full post about why she picked who she did this week, as well as a few thoughts about the celebrity, pictures of the outfits she used as her “finding” inspiration, and finally videos on how to achieve the look of the hair and make up.
I am not into recreating these looks but I always read her posts and click into several of the Etsy finds she links to because I find it another interesting way to discover new things that I would not have come across myself. It also further feeds my curiosity about what people are into and what they are making.
Here is my favorite find of the day related to Gilbea’s “Get the Look” inspired by the character Carrie Bradshaw:
