In Hot Pursuit of Fabulous Vintage Fashions

Monday, July 19th, 2010

That’s right, vintage loving fashionistas.   The reason this blog has been neglected for a couple of weeks is because I’m on my summer buying trip where I search high and low to find  fabulous vintage clothing for my classy clientele.

Every year it gets tougher to ferret out the best condition, really stylish stuff. But I’m happy to say I was still able to amass quite an impressive collection. And I’m anxious to get back and start getting it all ready to list on the website. There is some amazing stuff I can’t wait for you to see!

In the meantime, here are some items that were recently listed on the site.  I do have  the dames  back at the office handling the shipping and customer service while I’m away.  So orders are processed as usual.   Also, in case you didn’t know, there is FREE PRIORITY SHIPPING on all US orders over 100.00 for the month of July.
