1960’s Ivory with Crochet Detail Dress (S/M)
Happy Friday all! This week has felt exceptionally exhausting. I’m usually a fairly motivated person, but I found myself putting off work pretty often and just watching Skins on my couch with my two little pups. Sometimes that’s just what our minds need though…to just shut off for a few hours, and ignore all the emails that need a response, and the schedules we make for ourselves, and just allow ourselves to exist in the present. I forget that sometimes.
Anyways, all laziness aside, I did manage to update the shop with some pretty nifty items today. Feel free to take a gander. Maybe something will catch your eye.
1960’s Egg Shell & Brown Crochet Details Dress (S)
1970’s Striped Short Sleeve Button Up (XS/S)
1960’s Royal Blue & White Stripes Midi Dress (M/L)
1990’s Canary Yellow Button Up (M/L)
1960’s Striped Double Breasted Rain Coat (M/L)
Just a wee shop update today featuring…COATS. Some lovely, lovely coats. Honestly, this striped rain coat is amazing. In every way. If it fit me properly (a size smaller), I would never ever part ways with it. I’d love to see it go to a good home and get some wear. It deserves to be out in the streets of this world. Pop by the shop today and pick up a winter coat (and maybe some other things).
Living in a province where it’s cold the majority of the year, having a good coat is necessary. Since I wear a coat probably 8 months of the year, I find myself always searching for new ones because it can get rather boring wearing the same old coat everyday forever and always. When I found this one at the Toronto Vintage Clothing Show I knew it had to be mine. It was the coat I was looking for. Incredibly warm, huge pockets, big collar, and in a lovely cream colour that goes with pretty much everything in my wardrobe. It’s exciting to find a vintage coat that actually fits. I’ve been lucky a few times now, but I’m not one those people that consistently finds beautiful vintage coats while thrifting. There are just too many stylish thrifters in Toronto, so you know how that goes.

1. 1970’s Cream Fishermans Knit Pullover (XS/S)
It’s hard to come by a good cable knit pullover. Depending on how you like the fit, it can seem like an endless expedition to find the right one. That being said, I have a pretty great one in the shop today. If you’re not really an over-sized pullover kind of person, this one checks off all the boxes in terms of color, fit and warmth. I also listed some pretty sweet velvety softness (makes you want to touch your own thighs all day), and an amazing 1940’s dress. When I’m wearing it I honestly feel like it takes me back to the Dust Bowl days. Pairing it with the Blixen Boots, it’s like a Dust Bowl match made in heaven. And last but NOT least…the novelty print dress. GAH! If this dress fit me, it would be going nowhere. I originally bought it for myself without trying it on (stupid). I was obsessed the second I saw it. It’s just the right amount of sweet with weirdness. Its glorious! Come check out the shop today. These items want to come home with you!
