just rebellion: vintage

Ever since my early teens, I've had a love of vintage. At some point somebody introduced me to thrift stores, and I began to know the joy of (to put it rather simply) finding really cool old stuff that-you-can't-find-just-anywhere-anymore. I began to acquire things. My boyfriend would tell you that I already have way too much "crap", but what he doesn't realize is that my collections pale in comparison to those of some I've come across online. Being able to peruse pictures of other people's vintage stuff through various outlets such as Flickr and Instagram, has opened my eyes to just how obsessed one can be coveting vintage treasures.

Since I recently became a mother, I've found myself enamoured with a whole new world of vintage; the world of vintage baby. I used to go into a thrift store and completely ignore the children's section, but these days it's my most favourite spot to look. I'm especially pleased when I come across baby girl dresses, ceramic planters, books (particularly Little Golden Books) and toys of course. It has been less than a year that I've begun collecting vintage baby stuff, so my collection is meek. This however, is a post to share some of the most fabulous collections of vintage baby stuff I've ever seen. Most of these ladies have probably been thrifting and collecting for years, so I can't be too hard on myself. Perhaps in time I'll have a collection of my own to rival, but in the meantime - here is my inspiration.

The most insane collection of pastel baby girl dresses I have ever seen

60's Avon lipstick

I've been looking at vintage Avon products on Flickr, Pinterest, and Etsy. Here is a quick edit I did of some cool lipsticks from an Avon ad dated April 1966 (from The Ladies' Home Journal) via The Bees Knees Daily on Flickr

"Two for the sun... two for the moon! Avon tints your lips with pinks and corals - shimmery and chic in prints. Do collect a pair or two of these saucy new lipsticks for making merry, for sheer charm. Only your Avon Representative can bring you the new 'Chic Sparklers' with matching nail enamel. Whether you shimmer by sun or moon is up to you!"

Valentine's part 4

As it turns out, I ended up having too much to post for Valentine's Day and not enough time to actually post it. So unfortunately, my last post, this post, is a little late and for that I apologize. It isn't exactly relevant still but for my own sake I am just publishing it and finishing it off anyways. Here are some more festive pictures from various websites including a lot of DIY ideas, gifts, vintage and kistch Valentine's stuff, and all the yummiest desserts! ♥ ♥

Part four of four

Ban.do is a super cute site that always has great feminine, sparkly accessories:
