Purse On Us

Now here’s an online boutique that was “born out of a love for all things vintage, and a disgust for the disposable society we live in” — Salvage Life. Finding inspiration in all things vintage and retro, SalvageLife not only has fantastic vintage finds, they are also helping promote green living by discouraging wastefulness and promoting sustainable buying practices. It all sounds great…and it is! This shop is cute and below are some of my fav things they offer.

A totally girly “Sweet Army” trench coat ($58).

“Weighing the Odds” chunky gold vintage necklace ($12).

Super cute “black and white” organic print vintage tote ($32).

Handmade with a hippie chick vibe, Dottie Angel has the greatest handmade felted cuff and crochet bracelets, purses, slip skirts and brooches that are simply adorable! I’m particularly in love with her vintage slips that have been re-architected using vintage laces (from her grandmother’s stash) priced  at around $38; and linen purses that are quite possibly the perfect accessory for Spring (priced around $55-$75). SOOOOO cute!

If you’re totally into the chunky funky plastic jewelry reminiscent of the 80s, then catch up with what the Naughty Secretary Club has to offer. Taking some of the most random plastic pieces, the NSC has revamped vintage treasures and turned them into modern day classics.

They have a huge assortment of random charm bracelets and funky rings and big ol’ earrings that scream New Wave Goddess shoulda been. You can also tap into some really rad neckalces, brooches and accessories and purses made of some stunning fabrics–one of my favorites is the Juan Valdez  Messenger Bag (shown at right).  Another favorite is the “Red Hot” jingly charm bracelet covered in pop art like charms.
