VINTY – vintage shopping & inspiration

Salvage Inspiration Keeps it “Green”

March 23, 2007 · 1 Comment

Now here’s an online boutique that was “born out of a love for all things vintage, and a disgust for the disposable society we live in” — Salvage Life. Finding inspiration in all things vintage and retro, SalvageLife not only has fantastic vintage finds, they are also helping promote green living by discouraging wastefulness and promoting sustainable buying practices. It all sounds great…and it is! This shop is cute and below are some of my fav things they offer.

A totally girly “Sweet Army” trench coat ($58).

“Weighing the Odds” chunky gold vintage necklace ($12).

Super cute “black and white” organic print vintage tote ($32).

All About Flower Power!

March 23, 2007 · 2 Comments

What better way to celebrate the arrival of Spring than with vintage or retro flower prints and accessories? I have to admit, I really love one of a kind handcrafted or vintage wares that put a new spin on bright florals. My first find is something that anyone who appreciates 70s inspired accessories will truly adore.  Created by Oh My Cavalier, these little victorian-inspired cuties will take you back to a time when life was so much simpler. For a mere $10, you can have your very own.

How about a groovy retroed-out belt that was a wardrobe staple in the 60s? Check out these retro belts created by CB Stitches, which are a mere $6.99 each.

Handcrafted with a Vintage Vibe

Handmade with a hippie chick vibe, Dottie Angel has the greatest handmade felted cuff and crochet bracelets, purses, slip skirts and brooches that are simply adorable! I’m particularly in love with her vintage slips that have been re-architected using vintage laces (from her grandmother’s stash) priced  at around $38; and linen purses that are quite possibly the perfect accessory for Spring (priced around $55-$75). SOOOOO cute!
