Shop Preview: Neon

Believe it or not, we came across these pieces all in one weekend.  The overwhelming theme:  bright colors with an emphasis on neon.  Pretty interesting that the items range from the 1960s to the 1980s.  I guess bold colors never go out of style!

These items will be going up in the shop this week!  As always, if you see anything you want just let us know and you'll get first dibs!

Splurge vs. Steal

Nordstrom carries so many high end brands, so it's the go-to place when you're looking for the latest trends. Some people love wearing brand names, and I don't judge those people. But going into debt for a little tag inside your skirt that no one will see? That seems a little silly. Why not get a little creative and find a similar style for a steal?

We've given you a little headstart with these Miskabelle steals!

Miskabelle Woven Cherry Red Flats vs Frye 'Emma' Ballet Flat

Miskabelle Basket Weave Tote vs. Mar y sol 'Panama" Stripe Straw Tote

Miskabelle Khaki Button Front Skirt vs. Tory Burch 'Mattie' Poplin Skirt

And there you have it...you can save hundreds of dollars with a little hunting (and a bit of artistic liberty).  Timeless styles last and vintage clothes and accessories are often more well-made than their modern day counterparts. Just another thing to add to our list of why vintage=LOVE.

Dress Yourself in Etsy Vintage: Rainy Day Edition

I woke up to a dark sky and pouring rain--the kind of weather that makes you want to go right back to bed.  Instead, I got a little inspired and virtually dressed myself in a head to toe vintage outfit to brave the elements.

I took two rain basics (the trench and the on-trend duck boot), mixed patterns, and added a pop of bright yellow, like that first spring dandelion in the yard.

70s knit top, purevintageclothing, $28

grunge floral skirt, ontheprowl, $26

Etienne Aigner classic trench, BirdsChasingBugs, $49

sunny yellow carry on bag, FishboneDeco, $48

Dexter low duck boots, FiregypsyVintage, $33.14

Of course, if it's warm enough, you should wear the trench open since the trench is longer than the skirt--don't want people thinking you ain't got nothin' underneath that overcoat/and it's all a show. (Name that tune!) I think I might add some textured tights/leggings or knee socks to complete this look.  Then: I'd grab a friend and go puddle jumping!  Followed by a coffee date to warm up and dry off. See?  Rain's not so bad after all...

Enjoy the day, whatever the weather, wherever you are!

LUST LUST LUST: Spring Sprang Sprung

Hey, remember two weeks ago when I said I missed snow?  No? Me neither.  Because we had a bunch of the heavy wet stuff this week, which gave me a case of cabin fever and gave my husband a 6 hour commute from work (normally 30 minutes) on Wednesday night.  Nice knowing you snow, but I'm ready for spring.  This is an ode to my LUST for florals, sunshine, bare legs and pedicures. 

This week I'm drooling over pretty 60s and 70s dresses paired with statement-making platform and wedge sandals.  

1.  70s day dress, Church of Vintage, $42
2.  Nude wedges, BILFWorldwide, $32

1. Floral dress, LittleBeeVintage, $50
2. Velvet Wedges, VerseauVintage, $60

1. Super 70s dress, MilaTreasures, $39
2. Wooden Heel sandals, MariesVintage, $55

1.  70s Brown and Pink Floral Dress, dirtybirdiesvintage, $26
2.  Ultra Platforms, nicolasvintage, $62

1. Multi Pattern Dress, theVintageRevivalCo, $39
2. Nude Buckle Wedge, pineapplemint, $36

Can't you just feel the the sun on your skin?  I know spring is two months (ugh) away, but this blog is full of wishful thinking.  Global warming, let's do this.
