Shop Preview: Big Black Boots

Oh yeah: my favorite thrift had all of their boots out last week. And I squealed a little bit.  While I didn't find the boots of my dreams, I did find a lot of great ones...and we already have some pretty cool ones in the shop.  I already have 3 (or 4) different pairs of black boots. So I'll share...

1. 1980s Classic Black Leather Pirate Boot, Size 8 (coming soon!)
2. 1970s Black Leather Knee High Boot with Wooden Heel, Size 6.5 (coming soon!)
3. Vintage Suede Mid Calf Boot with Gold Embellishment, Size 7
4.  Wood Heel Pirate Boot (folds down too!), Size 6.5 (coming soon!)
5.  Black Suede Edwardian Style Lace Up Booties, Size 6.5 (coming soon!)

If you're a 6.5, I envy you.  Honesty, the best shoes I find anywhere are almost always a 6.5. Is this because you are rare? Or because you are everywhere, you tiny-footed creatures?

We have even MORE black boots here, here and here (looove these).  Which pair is your fave?

This Weekend in DC: The First Ever Miskabelle Vintage Pop-Up Shop!

I was excited to have the lovely editors of luri & wilma, DC's Eco-Chic magazine, over to my studio a few weeks ago to pick vintage for their fall issue.  I love what they are doing, so it was an honor, and I can't wait to see the final product!  For the launch of their fall issue, they are throwing a release party this Saturday evening at Ginger Root Design--and I'm going to be there, along with Butler & Claypool Collective, selling looks from the issue (and more!).

So come and see me in person--and if you mention the blog, I'll give you a discount...deal?  But seriously, I'd love to give you a hug and help you find something pretty (and eco-chic) to wear for fall. If you're looking for boots and bags, I'm your girl. The stock is killer.

Here are more details or you can just go get your ticket here! I really do hope to see you there!

Amanda

(P.S. There will be Crunkcakes...which I believe are some wonderful combination of alcohol and cupcake, so basically: pure awesome.)

Jayme's Fall Vintage Wishlist

Today it's my turn to share a few things from Etsy that I've been lusting after for my fall wardrobe.  I honestly don't peruse vintage shops on Etsy all that often because part of me just loves the thrill of finding that perfect jacket/pair of boots/etc. on my own--hidden beneath thrift store rubble (for a crazy low price tag).  BUT I certainly would consider making these pieces my own, if I don't happen to find their twins at the local thrift any time soon.

1. Yet another ring to add to my collection (two peas in a pod?! so cute.)  via AdobeHouseVintage

2.  I would love to throw this kimono cardigan on over my daily t-shirt and skinnies.  via AngiVintage

3.  This fringed leather jacket might replace my black motorcyle jacket. via bonesvintage

4.  An oversized bag (mama friendly) with tooled leather details?  Yes, please.  via redpoppyvintageshop

5.  This floral baby doll dress takes me back to middle school--and I love that it has long sleeves for cooler weather.  via RedRocketVintage

6.  An L pendant in honor of my little Lyla.  via EpochBeads

7.  I'm a sucker for soft vintage tees.  Representing my artist-love with this one.  via TomTomVintage

8.  My yearly boot purchase this year-- black ankle boots to wear with tights and dresses.  via 20TwentyVintage

Did you check out Amanda's picks yet?  I think you'd be surprised to see how much our lists differ!
