Take it from Thandie

"It is grotesque how out of control manufacturing has become, and the excess, the pollution that's caused by it. Vintage is not only glorious and stylish, it's also the way forward in terms of recycling. Whenever I go into great vintage stores, I wonder why we ever buy new things." - Thandie Newton

My brother just sent me a link to an American website that combines beautiful photography and marvellous clothes to sell vintage apparel.

http://www.bluebirdvintage.com/

The company sells womens vintage clothing both on its website and via their ebay store:

http://stores.shop.ebay.com/BLEUBIRDVINTAGE

My favourite item they are selling right now is this 50's party dress! I think it would look really gorgeous with a black waistbelt and some black punky booties or without the waistbelt, a string of pearls and some nude shoes (like on the photo). I think this dress could be really versatile, and almost worth the $168 its going for!

Anyway, bleubirdvintage/bluebirdvintage not only sells vintage gear, it also has a blog which features either new products, interviews with fashionistas, music interviews and much more! Also on their blog is an amazon linked playlist of some great up-and-comers like She & Him, and older legendary bands such as Led Zeppelin.
Check out She & Him on myspace, they're really good! Zoey Deschanel is amazing!
