We want to know -> what vintage item are you hunting for this week? Are you desperately seeking something of a certain era or is it a summery shade of yellow calling your name at the nearest thrift store? I know I have a very big vintage wish list. Share yours + we hope to help!

Currently, I’m dreaming of the perfect vintage swimsuit (as you probably noticed!) + a small collection of old wooden chairs for the kitchen. I’m easy to please, that is, until I hit that thrift store/estate sale and something else catches my eye…

Post your vintage wishes + dreams in the comments, below. I bet we will all have a few in common!

This week, I’m continuing my love affair with every color of the rainbow. My 2nd favorite this season is Coral. Paired with royal blue or white, or even hot pink, coral is a little bit of flirty goodness in your spring wardrobe. I’m currently hunting for a pair of coral flats to replace the ones Rufus (my giant puppy) ate. Unfortunately, he also has a thing for vintage footwear.

I’ve always wanted to try a Beehive- at least once! That big hair the girl groups rocked blows my mind. If you’re a fan of the big do-wop hair, try out this Beehive! Big thanks to Antonia for doing this tutorial for us. Be sure to post your photos if you try it out to our Facebook page so we can all see the do’s!

My Mom is the best thrifting partner I’ve ever had. So, to celebrate my 30th, we went on an all-day thrifting mission across the river in Illinois. Evidently, the goal was to buy anything and everything we liked and pack the car so tightly we could barely fit back inside. We scored some really fun finds! My favorite find of the day was the BeeGees turntable (with microphone) for only $5! Insanity. Now, I can finally sing Jive Talkin’ in style…

Today in St. Louis it will be a mild forty-something degrees with a cool blast of wind every fifteen seconds. I’m definitely over it! Give me sunshine, poolside, BBQ, and sandals please! This year I am once again on the hunt for a vintage suit. Some of these pretties in the video are giving me great ideas!

I’ve got the blues… in a good way. Royal Blue is huge this season! It is such a rich, bright shade + an excellent addition to any outfit. I love this shade of blue when paired or accessorized with another of our best brights: pink, yellow, kelly green, and red. Of course, a royal blue vintage piece is even better! Check out some of my favorites and find more in my Etsy faves. Have a royal blue wonder in your Etsy shop? @ us via Twitter with a link so we can share with our followers!

Last Sunday I hit up the Donnaland estate sale in the Green Shag Market on Manchester, here in St. Louis. While I was already on vintage overload at the sale, I browsed the booths in the Market and immediately wished I had unlimited funds- I *needed* almost every chair I saw. How many chairs can fit in my little house? I mean, really. I’m going back there soon to really dig into each booth + daydream about my chairs some more. You can check out more photos from the day on our Facebook Fan page + check out Green Shag Market if you’re in the St. Louis area!

If you’re still a little wary of braving bright pants but want to infuse a pop of color into your late winter wardrobe, try out a bright or two-toned vintage statement necklace. Pick a decade, jewelry designers are hardly color-shy. These are just a few of my personal favorites, but you can see more of my picks on Etsy.

Every year for my favorite (and only) niece’s birthday, I try to make all of her gifts. This year I wanted to make her a big girl dollhouse with furniture every five year old would want (star confetti table, hot pink fence, heart mirrors, etc) and that I didn’t mind if she ended up breaking it (she turned 5 this week). Most of the supplies + pieces I used were found objects in thrift stores and also a few things I picked up from The Upcycle Exchange. I have to say I was happy to see her so excited about her gift, but a little sad to see it leave our house. Maybe I should start another…for me!
