vintage glitterati...






as you all know, i'm a vintage fanatic...so i've been so excited by a new vintage site called vintage glitterati. it's a collaboration of several different vintage sellers from etsy. many of the sellers specialize in upcycling vintage...taking a current vintage piece and upcycling it into something different. a great way to save vintage pieces that may not be able to stand on their own due to damage over the years. thus, the ultimate reduce, reuse and recycle--my favorite. i have an amazing cuff and belt that has been upcycled from many different vintage trims.

there are so many great finds on their for the vintage bride! sigh, if i were only getting married again...

loving the recycled dresses...


i'm loving all of the upcycled vintage dresses out there...seems like there are more and more out there everyday. check out this one from etsy seller lorimarsha. it's called "truly, madly, deeply"...can't go wrong with that name...

speaking of upcycling, we had another bitch & switch and i scored some great items (the shoes aren't from the switch, but esb scored them for me at wasteland!)...i'll post more of the scores later, but that reminds me... esb just posted about cutoffs, which is really funny since i've been thinking today of making some cutoffs. i just got that bike (hey, since i'm working with the company, they gave me an amazing deal...so i couldn't resist), so i've been riding to work everyday. but, can't really ride in short skirts in this weather. so, i'm gonna make some cutoffs too!

also working on a post about our upcoming european vacation/overdue honeymoon!

the doily dress

i'm loving this doily dress from amour sans anguish on etsy. it's a custom-made, one-of-a-kind dress that she creates from vintage doilies!! i bet you could even send her some of your own doily finds and she would create a special dress for you...what a great wedding dress idea...it incorporates all of my favorite things: vintage lace, reducing, upcycling and re-using...
