vintage vs new - mens.

There's many reasons why I prefer vintage over new clothing. Here's a big reason. The price. For the boys.

shiny and new, but old.

Here's a peek at some of the new vintage pieces in the store. If you like what you see, be quick, the sequins are being snapped up quickly!

 Sequins tops, beaded tops, leather boots, reworked 80's t-shirts and lots more!

The boys weren't forgotten about either...

with more waistcoats, t-shirts and cravates. Call in soon!

sunnies.


We're nearing the season of sunnies again. I think this year I'll opt for a pair of 1950's cat eye glasses like Dita's above, if I can get my hands on a pair. What are your favourite style of vintage sunglasses?

fake flowers are real pretty.

 I spent the morning in the store cleaning and fixing displays when I spotted this empty vase so I decided to make use of some of the fake flowers I sometimes use for the window display. I cut the stems to match the height of the vase and tied the ends with some twine. Voila! A more spring vibe going on in the shop :)

i chose to sing the blues.

This is my latest vintage purchase. This 70's day dress is just so cute and I'm loving the blue and navy combo. I added a bit more blue to it with my baby blue tights and I wore my cowboy boots to make the outfit a little bit country!

I ♥ vintage bicycles

I really do love them. Even if I don't cycle very much! Including my very own orange one on the right here, that I've used once or twice in window displays. Any ideas for my next window display???

Oh the 1970's. I have a love/hate relationship with anything from the 1970's or 70's style. Right now, it's love. Especially 70's decor. The overuse of mustard. Love it!
