One of the major up-sides to blogging is discovering sites and brands you would otherwise never know about. Kristina Goes West is one such site, I was first alerted to it after a twitter follow led to me taking a peek and liking what I saw. An e-mail or two later from Kristina and a bit of an education about what the site stands for and we get this here blog post.

The online boutique is already over a year old but has recently relaunched; It is the first online boutique to showcase the best established and up-and-coming designers from the Baltic region which is bursting with fresh and daring fashion designers. Kristina Goes West is passionate about getting people to think about Baltic fashion in a new light and I think that when you take a look at the website you will view it as mission accomplished!

All of the items on the website have been selected especially to maintain the Nordic spirit and banish the stereotypes, if you’re looking for an off the wall unique or bespoke piece I strongly suggest you pay a visit. To help showcase what is on offer I’d like to share the “Dark Snow Queen” outfit that features some of my favourite pieces.

Kristina Goes West probably isn’t somewhere you are going to visit for your everyday wear but just look at how striking everything is! I have a major softspot for quirky rings and the amber beauty shown above at £40 is fitting the bill perfectly! If I had unlimited funds the coat would already be winging it’s way to me and please, just don’t get me started on how much I love the bags. For me the only thing the website is lacking is some killer shoes!
