Vintage Finds

Old is the New New

One of my favorite elements to fashion is that there are never any limits. You can travel the world, travel through time, and search your very neighborhood for style inspiration. Through all of the fads and popular wear, I believe however the best way to find your creative mode is through vintage finds. I personally love to go thrifting, search the closet/jewelry box of my mother and sometimes Grandmother if I really want to get fancy. I also find that flea markets and antique shops are a hit when it comes to picking up unique pieces.  

Here are a few vintage pieces that may inspire you to add some flare to your wardrobe:

So its summer time, and everyone is sporting all different styles of shades. But I must say, the 50s Cateye sunglass phenomana has rebirth itself, and I love it. Ladies cat eye shades are definitely a must have for the summer. They add chic to any ensemble, and if you are graced enough to come upon these lovely vintage frames, I'd definitely say you have found a vintage piece that may never leave your wardrobe.

Heart lockets are a great vintage accessory. This piece has an old bronze tainted style that bring an antiqued touch. Lockets usually have significance behind them. Maybe it once belonged to a Great- Grandmother or someone special in your life, but they can also work as simple statement accessories. Whatever the case I am loving this vintage find.

Wrist watches will never die as a trend, but what happens when it becomes a treasure? This gorgeous leather banned wrist watch is a great everyday-wear-accesory. The yellow face, roman numeral numbers, elegantly shaped hands, and wooden frame scream vintage. Whats great about this accessory is that it has a modern touch with the triple wrapped leather sequined banned. I would definitely count this as a successful vintage find.

Western cultures love to collect memories and keepsakes by the piece, and charm bracelets are the best way to do so. They are a staple that has yet to vanish. Now imagine finding this beautiful bracelet at a thrift store or flea market; my smile would be from ear to ear. I admire the bronze and warm hues and the embellishment of each piece. This bracelet is definitely a winner for the vintage scavenger.



Chanel is a fashion brand that women have cherished for decades. Now although the brand is known for being a bit pricey, that is where vintage shopping comes in handy. These gold quilted Chanel earrings are beautiful and were crafted as a vintage style accessory, however I have heard countless stories of women finding designer branded fashions at thrift store and vintage boutiques. Keep an eye out for pieces such as this one when you are on a vintage excursion, you never know what you may stumble upon.


Whether you want to embrace a vintage style or choose to weave it in and out of your wardrobe, it never hurts to add a little vintage flare to your closet. After all old is the new new.
