trolling around websites

i am working on webpage layouts so that when i have product and am ready to work with the very talented web (and jewelry) designer, elizabeth (www.24karas.com), i have ideas on what i want to portray. i have a long list of inspirational websites and brands that i love. i know little to nothing about web design, such as number of clicks or whatever is used to test efficiency, so my views are mostly aesthetic. but here are a few of my favorites:

http://www.vanessabruno.com/en/ - i love the opening video - the clothes, the imagery, the music, the model, the muted colors and mood... very pretty and feminine.

http://www.lepetitatelierdeparis.com/welcome.html - very simple, delicate and hand-made

http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/06/this-is-why-ill-never-be-adult.html - this website has nothing to do with fashion. but she tells great stories through the use of hand-drawn, simplified illustrations and words. plus it's hilarious.

http://www.bluebottlecoffee.net/about/who-we-are/ - i love the hand-drawn illustrations, the recognizable blue bottle picto-icon (dont know what else to call it off the top of my head) and the story behind the brand

http://www.mina-perhonen.jp/ - the textile archives on the website are beautiful. finally got around to special ordering his books... cannot wait to receive them.

http://www.lelabofragrances.com/ - the look of this website is very unique. plus i aspire to the authenticity and craft of this brand.
