vintage shop update and new hair!

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

Woah. I haven’t updated my vintage shop in almost 3 months. Where did that time go? So now I’m doing a massive update of all my summer stuff that I should have added months ago. tisk tisk Lara.

I also just realized I never posted a photo of my new hair colour. To be honest I’m not thrilled with the way it turned out. It’s a little temperamental. In certain lights it’s exactly the colour I wanted it to be, but generally it’s a more natural looking, dull orange.

1. Hippo Romper
2. Collared Floral Dress
3. Green Embroidered Maxi Dress
4. Denim Romper
5. Peach Dress
6. Halter Top and Sarong Set

More to come very soon!

I may have a little problem

I think I’m addicted to shoe shopping on etsy. I have bought nine pairs on shoes on etsy in the last year. Plus the several pairs I’ve thrifted, oh and my Top Shop clogs. Help. I have shoes coming out of my ears!


…but they’re all so pretty…

Friday, June 18th, 2010

We opened up our makeshift vintage shop yesterday. Our doors opened around noon and we were constantly busy until we closed around 8pm. There’s a lot to sell but it’s going quickly! I thought I would give you a little teaser of what I’m selling before it’s all gone and there’s no more record of these unique pieces!

We’re open 11am to 7pm everyday until Wednesday, June 23rd. Tonight we’re having an opening party from 7pm to midnight! Come stop by and say hi if you’re in the Montreal area! 5143 St.Laurent Blvd.

Favourite Etsy Items of the Week: London Calling

Sunday, May 9th, 2010

This thursday I’m leaving for London for two whole weeks! I’m going for an interview at a college and to visit family and friends. If I wasn’t so terrified of flying I would be super duper excited. For this weeks Favourite Etsy Items I though I would make it London themed. It actually turned out to be harder than I expected. I started out by hearting anything with a Union Jack on it but that was looking pretty lame. In the end I decided to make it a mod and punk themed grouping.

I’ve already started thinking about what I should bring for the trip. The weather in London is so unpredictable so I definitely need to bring some warmer clothes. For travelling, I’m thinking of wearing my leather jacket, skinny black jeans and ankle boots. I also want to bring some dresses and heels for nights out on the town. I probably won’t stick to a totally mod/punk themed wardrobe since I’m so into flowy florals but it’s a good starting point! I also need to think about what I should wear to the interview! I found this amazing late 60s three piece wool suit thrifting a few weeks back and was considering wearing that, but I think it may be too much. Maybe I’ll post photos of the different options and put it to a vote.
