Beauty of Vintage

EAT. PRAY. LOVE. BUY VINTAGE.

Vintage clothing is not only an obsession for many but also an eco-friendly way to shop and help cut down on sweatshops.

Re-use. Re-worked. Recycle. Rescue.

The benefits of wearing vintage are numerous and rewarding. It's really a delight to realize that no one else is wearing the same outfit!

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second rate version of somebody else. ~ Judy Garland

So many reasons why I love vintage clothing. You can wear something totally unique, which is so refreshing and inspirational; it's a perfect way to truly reflect your personal style.

When in doubt wear red ~ Bill Blass

Check back when you can as I will be updating my blog more often.

vintage umbrella

I just love this sweet multi-colored(but predominantly pink) umbrella; it is my favourite. It has a great an sturdy bakelite/lucite handle. I love the design that looks like ferns crawling out of the umbrella. I believe this type of umbrella is from the 1940s. I found this from an estate sale and the lady kept everything. She even has letters from as far back a 1890's! They were selling it and I have to take it with me.

I wish they still make umbrellas such as this. Nowadays, It's all plastic and low-quality material. That is why i'm forever going to be a fan of vintage items.
