Weekly Vintage Roundup redux

Last Friday's vintage clothes roundup was so much fun to put together that I've decided to repeat the experience. There are so many great vintage finds on the ebay if you're patient and persistent!

Yellow is a very happening color at the moment...it feels very "now". A lot of the really au courant designers included gorgeous yellow gowns in their fall collections - two examples being Riccardo Tisci and Olivier Theyskens.

This is a great mod coat from the 1960s. I just love its slim cut and that great funnel neck! From Thriftwares.


This sweater "tunic," also from Thriftwares, is in a gorgeous, deeper shade of mustard. It looks so cozy. Please wear pants underneath something like this, though!


I know this gold and black tapestry coat isn't everybody's thing, but it really reminded me of some of the gorgeous tooled patterns and color combinations at last fall's Dries Van Noten show. From Cadababy Vintage.


If you're a daring sort of shoe wearer, you might love these New Wave pumps. They'd look great paired with black opaque tights. From Rewind.

Weekend Vintage Roundup

I love to comb ebay for vintage fashion finds, despite the likelihood that it won't be in my size and/or price range. Admit it - it's fun to look! I'm very careful about what I buy and rarely bid (I have to really, really want it and the price must be right) but I love to look. There are some really great vintage shops on e-bay that generally update every week, and I thought I might introduce you to some of them.


I love this teal tweed coat from Swan Vintage. The shape is perfect and so of-the-moment, especially that high collar...and I am currently obsessed with that shade of teal. Plus I can recommend them from personal experience - Tara has a fantastic eye and she ships so quickly.


I lurve the print on this gorgeous maroon dress from bleubird vintage, possibly the best-known vintage shop on ebay (for good reason!). And you must check out this interview of the woman behind bleubird at fashion is spinach.


Thriftwares always has really great finds - usually of the clothing variety, but this week they're showcasing vintage jewelry. How fun is this elephant pendant?


This 1960s swing coat is super-chic, don't you agree? The covered buttons and the gorgeous moss green velvet are especially perfect. From MouseVox Vintage.



Wowsa, I just couldn't not post these 2 amazing coats from indiecultvintage. I think they (above, and below) speak for themslves).


Finally, check out the puff sleeves on this super cool purple leather trench at SunFlower Chicks Vintage. What's not to love about puff sleeves?

I had so much fun putting this post together that I was thinking about making it a regular feature. What do you think?

Does anyone know what's going on with bleubird vintage? I dearly miss their super fantastic auctions.
