Sugar and Spice and Everything Nice

03. February 2010

Sugar and Spice

“Sugar and spice, and everything nice, That’s what little girls are made of.” This famous nursery rhyme (which I used to recite often to silly boys) was the theme of my last shopping trip. I found myself walking away with two blouses, both with sheer elements, but one black and one white. My inner good and bad girls are aesthetically satisfied, and now it’s your turn! Check out these vintage finds from the web that will add some sugar and spice to your wardrobe.

Sugar Items

Blouse: $3 from Double Take Thrift Store, Toronto

Vintage Black Needlepoint Handbag, Attic Goods: $45

Bumble Strip Button Heels: BleuBird Vintage $36

Sailboat Mini Dress, BleuBird Vintage: $62

Spice Items

Blouse: $4 from Double Take Thrift Store, Toronto

80s Metallic Southwest Lace-ups, James Roland Shop: $75

Jungle Top, Spanish Moss Vintage: $52

vintage valentine: outgoing mail

While I don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day (although I’ve been with Husband Pants for almost 7 years now) I do love the vintage Valentines I spot once in a while on Etsy, Flickr, or in a local thrift shop. I’ve gathered 28 of my Flickr favorites to share with you to show our love for our fellow Vintage Addicts! Enjoy and feel free to share your own vintage Valentines with your fellow Addicts by uploading them to our Facebook fan page.

Meet Our New Vintage Addict :: Kaitlin

02. February 2010

kaitlin ~

The My Vintage Addiction family is growing fast! Our latest addition to the MVA crew is Kaitlin from My Vintage Secret. She loves thrifting and hunts for new finds regularly in Toronto. Kaitlin will be sharing her vintage fashion finds with you every Wednesday, so stay tuned & give her a warm welcome!

About Kaitlin:

A prairie girl at heart, I moved to Toronto to get my degree and with my new student budget fell in love with vintage and thrift shopping. I love vintage for the originality it adds to any style and for its romantic sensibilities. These items have lived, laughed, and loved alongside someone else and now you get to add your style and memories. My favourite vintage moment was when I got two pairs of oxford shoes for $2 at a garage sale last summer. They were sold to me by the original owner who was an adorable woman in her eighties. It’s nice to know we have the same taste!
