Welcome to my blog!

I have a passion for fashion but I wouldn’t consider myself a “fashionista.” Dressing head to toe in Chanel, Galliano, or Stella McCartney would be my idea of a perfect world but realistically, I can’t afford it nor do I live the lifestyle! I am an ordinary girl living an ordinary life but I like to “look good." For the last 15 years, I have found a way to keep up with current fashion trends without owning a black, Titanium American Express card. It’s simple, I shop at thrift stores and discount racks. Shopping at thrift stores is eco-friendly and is a sure place to find that unique piece no one else has. I cannot count the number of times I have drooled over a pair of boots or jeans I saw in a fashion magazine and later find at a discount rack or thrift store. Who cares if its the real thing! Looking good on a dime isn’t difficult, it's easy. All it takes is having a little patience and time. I love to share, so consider me your personal stylist. Please check back daily for affordable fashion finds and tips.

My Top 5 Favorite Vintage Websites



http://www.vintagefrosting.com/

My absolute very favorite for sure!  Maybe it's because it's MY website :o)  Vintage Frosting offers designer and non-designer pieces from head to toe.  Only a quarter of my inventory is listed so stay tuned.
Price range:  $$$


Posh Girl Vintage has some of the best high end vintage clothing on the web. I wouldn't say Posh Girl Vintage is my definition of "recyclable trends" but its a great place to see whats "vintage hot" so you can look for similar pieces somewhere else for cheaper... this is why I recommend this site. 
Price range:  $$$$$


Everything I said about Posh Girl Vintage I would have to "ditto" about Posh Vintage.  This website store is out of Miami Beach Florida. For those who don't know, Miami is one of the best places on earth to find ultra hip vintage pieces... hint, hint, the wealthy retire there. 
Price range:  $$$$$


http://www.rubylane.com/

This place is a vintage junkies DREAM!  Scroll through hundreds of vintage vendors showcasing collectibles to jewelry and accessories.  I can spend hours browsing through their website.  Most of the vendors I have come across are very friendly and are open to wheeling and dealing with you.
Price range:  $ to $$$$


http://www.etsy.com/

This website is kind of like eBay but way better.  I have never run into issues with sellers on this site like I have in the past with eBay.  In my opinion eBay is yuk!  Etsy is a safe and fun place to shop.  If you are interested in vintage, go to their search box and scroll down to "vintage"... this will direct you to all of the vintage goodies they have for sale. 
Price range:  $ to $$$$


*Price range scale is $ for lowest and $$$$$ for highest dollar expected to pay.
