For The Love of Vintage

Don't get me wrong, I'm all over finding that perfect, NEW "blank". Otherwise, I wouldn't be in this business. But, I also love shopping consignment. Good consignment.

Totally scored this week and picked up a Nicole Miller, bias-cut skirt, an Isaac Mizrahi Dress and another '50's style sleeveless, black, wool dress. Each piece was immaculate and under $20.

Consignment shops are brilliant for the obvious cost-savings over full retail. Even better is that you'll be wearing something unique.

Vespucci in Calgary (new location is at Elbow and Heritage Drive SW) is a fantastic consignment store - you'll find tons of high-end labels there. Or try Fair In The Square in West Vancouver.
