Savannah, Vintage
A Savannah local, and vintage blogger/lover is my old manager Jessie Matz. She lives in Savannah, Georgia with her fiance and is a slave to vintage and all it represents. She is the current manager at The Clothing Warehouse, one of the vintage stores I spoke of before, and used to be my manager. She is constantly thinking of vintage and the next thing she can find, mix up, or create. She is what I called earlier, a "collector" who not only buys vintage items for herself, but also purchases/finds vintage items with great value to add to her collection. While The Clothing Warehouse buys and sells both used clothing and hand-crafted vintage-inspired items, she often finds herself both purchasing and selling to the store. Her blog is all about the vintage clothing and items she has found and is selling on her website, "Time Traveling Empire". There is a range of dresses, t-shirts, sweatshirts, tops, bottoms, hats, bags, shoes, jewelry, belts, gloves, swimwear, etc.

where to find her stuff:
The Tweed Run
The Tweed Run is something I recently came across. It is basically a vintage-inspired bike ride, organized in London, England. The first one was last year in London. It is a few hundred people who are decked out in early 20th century British bicycling outfits and vintage bikes. It is a 12 mile excursion around the city that starts off at the Chelsea College of Art & Design. Here is a website that talks more about it... http://www.vidafine.com/blog/2010/05/tweed-run/
Vintage-inspired wedding rings!
I recently stumbled upon this amazing website that sells vintage-inspired WEDDING and ENGAGEMENT RINGS. How cool is that? One of my FAVORITE things are vintage wedding rings. Theres a feeling behind them that one cannot replicate with a new diamond. The website was started by Erica Weiner who started designing and making jewelry out of her apartment. As she travels around the world, she gathers what she calls "a collection of curiosities" and uses them in developing her line of jewelry. The emphasis is on craftsmanship and affordability. What's cool about her stuff, is that all of it is 100% recyclable. About half of the jewelry materials are vintage and re-purposed. While the jewelry lines started off a as hand-made items, they will continue to be so.

Vintage Online- SPANISH MOSS
SPANISH MOSS is another one of my favorite online retailers that sells vintage as well. This is mainly because they too, like NASTYGAL, take pride in handpicking unique items that are on trend and follow the looks seen in both the street and the runway. Spanish Moss offers amazing online look books that help the customer match one vintage piece with another. Spanish Moss also provides new clothing with brands such as WILDFOX and AMERICAN GOLD.
