A delightful "new" website

I LOVE TO SHOP!

I mean it . . . I really do. I can actually relate to Isla Fisher's character from "Confessions of a Shopaholic". (Though I'm a much better dancer!) Whenever I stumble across a website that is new to me that gives me something to be excited about, I feel obligated to share it with everyone.

So here it is . . . ModCloth. It's like an online vintique! ModCloth specializes in retro and vintage items, whether it be clothing, shoes, accessories or household items. This is one of the tops from their website. I absolutely fell in love with it. I would totally wear it with black skinny jeans or slacks and perhaps either a pair of leopard print ballerina flats or brightly colored pumps along with brightly colored accessories. Perhaps yellow pumps with a red necklace with slacks . Or leopard print flats with an emerald green bag with the black skinny jeans. They have so many items that I fell in love with! Their prices are very affordable on some items and a little steep on others. But I'm sure that if you take some time to really look, you will be able to find something within your price range!

I am in soooooooo much trouble ! ! !

I have just returned from the Grand Opening of a new little vintage boutique called Hodge Podge and I am in soooooooo much trouble. I walked out of there, having only spent $40. on 3 items but I had alot more than that in my arms before I put some things back. I purchased an 18kt white gold diamond & ruby cocktail ring for $5, a pair of red patent flats w/buckles for $15 and a gorgeous pink & red flowered ruffly blouse for $20. They will be featured on my blog at a later date.

One thing that I love about vintage shopping is that everything you buy is going to be unique. I love items that express one's individuality.

Another thing that I love about vintage shopping is that alot of the items you buy are sized for "real" women instead of stick figures. Just an interesting little aside . . . Marilyn Monroe wore a size 14 and she was considered to be one of the sexiest, most desireable women who ever lived.

One more thing that I love about vintage shopping is the prices. Vintage clothing is usually very good quality (the items were made when things were made to last) and reasonably priced.

When you are going vintage shopping, make sure that you allow yourself enough time to check the items over thoroughly and to be patient on your hunt.
