Vintage treasures & accessories recommendations

I have come across some wonderful Etsy shops in the past few weeks and thought I'd share them with you, as you will love their vintage selections!

I came across the Wiggle Perfume & Sundries shop when a fellow blogger, Punk Rock Momma, posted an entry about the shop and their wonderful selection of handmade perfumed oils, and boy was she right! I purchased the Honeysuckle Sweet Tea perfume oil and the Valdosta perfume oil, both of which have southern roots and floral scents to them. No surprise that Wiggle Perfume & Sundries has now become one of my favorites!

While browsing the Etsy shops, (which I do more than I should!), I found a great new vintage boutique called Atlantis Vintage, which has some great vintage jewelry, clothing, and accessories to pick from. I couldn't stop myself from picking up a great pair of vintage black and white spectator pumps from their shop! Be sure to take a look at their selections, as I'm sure you will find something that you love.

I was also lucky to find La Poubelle Vintage, a great Etsy shop that carries some wonderful, vintage 40's clothing that is in great shape. They have a HUGE assortment of vintage clothing that is quite impressive. I grabbed a 40's style navy blue dress and a vintage floral swing dress from their shop and can't wait to break them in!

Last, but not least, I came across the Jitterbuggin shop that is, by far, one of most favorite new Etsy shops! Their selection of 30's and 40's styled tops, bottoms, and play suits is phenomenal. I absolutely fell in love with their 30's style denim wide leg suspender pants! Be sure to check them out, as you will certainly find something that you just can't live without!

The chance to attend next year's Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekender, the biggest and best Rockabilly, Pinup and Vintage convention, since this year's show is unfortunately already sold out.

Happy Wednesday!

Fab finds!

I had the opportunity to do a little bargain shopping this past weekend in some outlet stores in Pigeon Forge and Sevierville, TN and found some great finds that I thought I'd share with my readers!

I found this gorgeous charcoal gray shift dress at an outlet store for only $19.99. I love the bow detailing at the top of the dress!



I was so happy to find this sheer, navy blue belted dress at another outlet store that has a great vintage feel to it, which I only paid $19.99 for. Anyone that knows me well knows that I am a sucker for polka dots!


Last, but not least, I found these cute black, sling-back peep-toe kitten heels with pom-pom flourishes on the toe for only $20!


I can't wait for the cold and rainy weather to pass so that I can try out my new finds! Did you have any luck this past weekend in acquiring some great finds? Do share!

XOXO, Crystal

Fab finds!

Hi guys!

I wanted to share with you some of my recent Fab Finds that I purchased over the weekend. As most of you know, I am a huge vintage, pinup and punk enthusiast, and I found some wonderful items to add to my collection!

First, I received my much-anticipated hair accessories order from Belle Blossoms! I am super excited about using these hair clips in my vintage dos! I nabbed a cherries clip, some black and white polka dot bow clips and set of miniature red rose clips. I love these!



Next, I found an awesome pair of black patent leather heels by Naturalizer at a local shoe store by the name of Beaty's Shoes (in the Tri-Cities, TN area).



I also picked up an awesome souvenier shirt from the local Little City Rollergirls derby that I recently attended. I love this shirt and think it's very punk and edgy!



Last, but not least, I found this awesome Talon phone case in the Grunge Heart design at Amazon for my Motorola Droid 2!



I hope you've enjoyed looking at my fabulous finds!

XOXO, Crystal
