2.) The best vintage treasure I've found is a detachable peter pan collar covered in pearls. I bought it when I was 15 for 50 cents in a small thrift store! They are soo in style now, It meant to be.

This shop is so amazing. I love the 1960s Frenchie dress.I would wear it with a camel blazer and some mary janes. My favorite finds are some Pendleton blazers in perfect condition from a Salvation Army in PA.
Thanks!

Ohh, I actually love this giveaway :)
My favourite item from the shop was a hard pick, but I do love this particular 80s cocktail dress (http://www.etsy.com/listing/67605573/on-sale-vintage-1980s-cocktail-dress-the). I usually loathe 80s wear, but this has the perfect sweetheart neckline and it reminds me of the 50s. I'd wear it with a pair of satin platform stilettos and a thick silver collar.
My best vintage treasure I've ever found is this beautiful wedding-type gown that I found when my partner and I visited Tokyo last year. It was hidden in a vintage shop in Shimokitazawa in a back alleyway.. It's so beautiful. It's floor-length and looks like it belonged to a princess with beautiful beading on the bustier with a gorgeous sweetheart neckline. I rarely wear it because it's material is so delicate, but it holds a place close to my heart, especially since my partner is the one who gifted it to me.

Best of luck to everyone and thank you!! <3
Love this shop! I'd pick up this amazing cocoon coat: http://www.etsy.com/listing/91273147/vintage-1960s-cocoon-coat-60s-velvet
I'd wear it with my AA riding pants.
Best treasure right now that I'm loving is my late 20s dress I got on ebay. Nicole pointed me to it, and it's the most beautiful dress in my closet.

Well, there are so many great options! but I am gonna go with The Kate(the 50s sea-foam blue linen dress)and I would style it with The 1940's art deco bird pin brooch from the shop, some cute light yellow sandals and some cat eye sunglasses. (someones ready for summer)
The best vintage piece in my collection is an old mans sweater with elbow protectors, found in an alley behind a thrift store in Seattle!
Thanks! Melody, melodyhirsch@gmail.com
1.) My favorite item in the shop right now is this 60s geometric shift: http://www.etsy.com/listing/94243674/vintage-1960s-suit-60s-geometric-shift
I wouldn't have to do much to style it; it pretty much speaks for itself!
2.) The best vintage treasure I've ever acquired is also my very first - a black wool tapestry frame bag with a big pink rose on either side. I found it in a vintage store on summer vacation when I was 18; I admired it on the wall and the owner gave it to me for free since the leather handle was cracked!
3.) My name is Alicia, and I can be reached here: clothdoll at gmail dot com. Thanks for the giveaway!
I love this shop, everything is beautiful but my favorite item is the 1920s leather handbag. I would style it with a long batik pattern skirt, simple blouse, crocheted copper wire wrapped hoop earrings and leather sandals.
Its hard to say, I have found several gorgeous items of many different styles. Maybe the rarest and luckiest thing I found was a pair of 1970s platform cherry red maryjane Famolares at Salvation Army for $3 and they were my size. I don't see that brand very often.

2.) What is the best vintage treasure you've ever acquired and where did you find it?
A 1960s dark brown leather clasp bag.
3.) Your name and email!

Ooh, yay!
1) I love the Dolores wool wiggle dress. The most important accessory I would have to pair it with, though, would be my Ragu shaping corset, haha! Then I'd roll up my semi-sheer thigh-high stalkings, pin my hair up into a Bardot-esque bouffant (or my best attempt!), give myself a slight cat-eye and pair it with my red-hot Dolce Vita heels.
2) My favorite vintage treasure is a gorgeous burgundy velvet 1930s dress, with a beautifully draped beaded collar. I found it at my favorite vintage shop in Atlanta, Stefan's. I still have yet to wear it (I feel like it needs the perfect occasion!), but every time I look at it in my closet, it makes me so happy!
3) Ashley little[dot]wonder[dot]me[at]gmail[dot]com
Wow this is a great giveaway, please count me in!
My favourite items (yes two, I couldn't decide which one is prettier) are the
"The Elsie Cotton Floral Blouse" and the "The Peggy 60s Printed Dress"
I would style the blouse with turned up skinny jeans, some red flats and a cozy cardigan for a lovely casual everyday look.
And with the dress I would wear a mustard cardi, a brown leather belt and matching brogues. And a cute bow hair clip and maybe also nerd glasses for the extra whimsical twist :)
My best vintage find ever is a chocolate brown 3/4 sleeve wool cardigan with a kind of wavy texture. It's superwarm, very versatile and gives all my dresses a little granny touch.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed, it would be great to win this!
my name is Carina btw and my e-mail badtastetoasttoast(at)googlemail(dot)com
What a beautifully curated vintage shop- everything is so perfect, it is hard to pick a favorite! I think I would go with the 1960s Silver Lurex Tunic. http://www.etsy.com/listing/82563079/vintage-1960s-tunic-silver-lurex-top-the
I would wear it with white tights, white ruffled socks, and black and white oxfords during the day, and change the oxford to my vintage black velvet heels for night time! Oh- I would also carry red envelope clutch and wear a red and pink floral 1960s headpiece. YAY!
Thanks for such a great giveaway!

1. LOVE the 50s Velvet Gown. Simple, but timeless and luxurious. I would wear it with simple black heels and a brightly coloured belt to add something extra.
2. My favourite vintage treasure is a red floor length maxi dress I found while digging through my mom's closet from 20 years ago. Super comfortable and perfect for the summer. I wear it all the time!
3. Marilyn: mphungi@hotmail.com
What a generous giveaway!
My favorite item in the shop is definitely the 1960s velvet cocoon coat. The colors are gorgeous - and it's so wonderfully dramatic! I would love to style it with a brown 1960s mini suede skirt, a black lace top, black tights and brown shoes from the 1970s with high wooden heels.
My best vintage treasure is a black 1920s vest, heavily beaded with tiny black and golden beads in a floral-like pattern. It's in wonderful condition - not a single tear or missing bead. I bought it last summer from a sweet old man for only 7 SEK (about 1 USD!) who told me it had belonged to his grandmother. I love it to bits.

1)Coats are my favorite article of clothing. The 1930s Marlene coat is my favorite, but since it does not fit, I will just have to dream about it joining my collection.
If I won, I would get the Francesca, velvet 1960s cocoon coat. I would wear my fake combat boots, jeans, red flower bakelite earrings, garnet pendaent neckalce, and black long sleeve with this. Dark wine or maroon shoes would compliment the coat really well. Everything would have to be sleek or simple It's such a statement piece, it would be easy to go over board.
2) Favorite vintage find is a black wool coat I got two years ago. It's a double breasted version of the Marlene coat, with dark-iridescent floral buttons and a big lamb's wool collar. It was my first non-REI winter coat. I got it in Santa Rosa, CA.
3)My name is Zari, and my email is mrs.splinter@gmail.com
1) I LOVE the 1960s blue lace cocktail dress called "The Annabelle". Its just perfect. I would wear it with red red lips and the perfect patent pointy-toed pumps. and some arm candy.
2) My favorite vintage treasure is a 1930s sheer black cotton organza blouse with dainty pintucks and a tiny bit of lace edging vertically on the front, topped with a peter pan collar, and buttons up the back! I got it at a flea market in the South of France, the label is Swiss. It is too small for me but I think it is the most gorgeous piece I own. It hangs on my wall.
3) Vanessa vbrutsc(at)gmail(dot)com
1) Definitely this dress: http://www.etsy.com/listing/76605540/vintage-1950s-dress-50s-full-skirt-dress. I'd style it with black t-bar flats and a lilac knit cardigan.
2) My 1950s school satchel that I nicked from the costume cupboard at my old school, making it $0! It looks just like a Cambridge Satchel but with more character.
3) Georgia Rose. georgianess at gmail dot com
1) I love the 1930s Art Deco Velvet dress and I would pair it with my mustard yellow feather headband fascinator.
2) My favorite vintage find is a quilted hostess robe I got for a steal at a Goodwill Outlet.

Eeeek, have long been a fan of your bog & shop - so many pretty things.
What is your favorite item from the shop and how would you style it?
My favorite item is the 1970's bright green sparkle pleated maxi skirt. I'd team it with a heavily faded black vintage boy's star wars tshirt I own, tied in a knot at the waste, with rolled up sleeves. Then with a pair of peep toe dusty toned wedges and my long thin silver chain, that holds a sparkly stone at the end & possibly my small studded, draw string pouch - silver studs.
2.) What is the best vintage treasure you've ever acquired and where did you find it?
My favorite vintage treasure is a 'carpet coat' with a massive faux fur collar. I got from Camden market, London, when I was 15 ( I'm now 28 ) - it's been relined, had some major restoration work and dry cleaned more times then I can re-call over the years, but is still with me and I love it.

My favourite piece is 60's geometric mint green shift dress.
I would style it with my black suede la rochelle loafers, dark green 60's pea coat and a light brown satchel.
My favourite vintage find was an aforementioned satchel. It has a cool structured front and a wooden handle and also looks to be anything from the 60's to 90's as it has no tag whatsoever. I have found it two years ago in Lithuanian market.

What a great giveaway! There are so many fantastic pieces in the shop, I'm always tempted to buy them all.
My favourite piece at the moment is the Fleur art deco velvet dress. I would keep it simple with some black tights and maybe some glitter kitten heels for a slightly dressy look. It looks perfect for dancing in the dark in backstreets in the autumn.
My favourite vintage find is denim blue Gunne Sax dress with lots of lace trim, a sailor collar and a big full skirt. It makes me feel like I need some lambs.
My name is Ron and my email is dressesonaclothesline@gmail.com
1. My favourite piece is the "Vintage 1930s Dress - Art Deco Velvet - The Fleur". This one caught my eye immediately. The colour, the material, the waist. It is just beautiful.
I would wear it with opaque black stockings, my vintage burgundy T-bar heels with a gold buckle, my matching vintage burgundy hand bag, my vintage ladies black and gold wristwatch with hand-painted roses and and my hair up in curls with a slick of red lipstick.
2. A gift my mother brought me home just today. It is a set of five 1950's different coloured shot glasses with gold trim, made in Italy. They only cost her a couple of dollars, and were in an obscure charity shop, but they are very special to me. They are my first set of drinking glasses and they strongly resemble the glasses that were given to my Grandma as a wedding present in 1952. She

3) My name is Joy, historycooky@yahoo.com.
1. Aw, gosh, I have to pick just one?! Okay, I wanted to be more grown-up about it, but I just adore that 1950s Basket Handbag with the wee bird and coral on top. I love how it looks like a picnic basket and I will buy anything if it is equal parts darling & goofy...I'd accompany it with a little shift I have made of repurposed vintage cloth and an antique lace collar. I'd add 1960s pink pumps, white pointelle tights and my great-grandma's brooch.
2. I feel like this is cheating, but the best vintage find was from my sister's (now) mother-in-law's vintage shop in Alaska. It's a sixties bright yellow handbag with bakelite clasp. It makes vintage lovers gasp, it's that pretty. F'real.
3. Mia! miabee@gmail.com
1. The vintage 40's Garnet Ring.
2. Mu Harper House Hamper I found when thrifting.
3. Debra Lee Distracteddebra@gmail.com

2. The most amazing things I have found at a vintage store were a caramel colored 70's purse and a brown drop-waist pleated dress with a scoop necked collar and cute buttons. I found them both at a local vintage store.
3. My name is Audrey and my email is audreypaoge@live.com :)
1. I really like the Vintage Fendi Purse - Envelope Cross Body - The Raquel. I would try to hide the strap as much as possible and use it as a clutch and I would wear something simple, like a neutral color cardigan over a white t/ tank with a pair of jeans.
2. I haven't found many great piece that fit me but I did find a nice pair of low heels at thrift town.
3. Julie - lilswtgurl85 at yahoo dot com
1. Hard to choose but I think I would go for the 30s Jeanette black lace dress and wear it with a red slip, teal tights and red shoes.

3. I'm Mairi, mairi.c.kidd@btinternet.com. I'm very happy to have found your blog!

Hello from far away!
I've been following your blog for quite some time now, both living in Stockholm and in Berlin. Your such an inspiration.
1. My best vintage treasure came out of another source of inspiration: The Royal Tenenbaums, and specifically Margot Tenenbaum. I've been in love with her and her style since I my first glance at her - and especially her fur coat.
Two weeks ago I found it. THE coat. On sale. In a vintage store. With the fur in perfect condition, silk on the inside and a waist belt.
I'm so much in love, I can hardly brief: I'm sleeping next to it.
2. I would love to carry the vintage 1950's basket in wood. It's unbearably cute with its fine details and the little bird on the top. I would take it on adventures, especially picnics, and befriend it with a pair of highwaisted dark blue shorts, a white sheer tunic with dark blue dots and nude ballerinas. And a bottle of homemade lemonade.
1. I looove the Peggy dress (and it's in my size, too — woot!) I'd wear it with my new black wood-heeled sandals that are just sitting in my apartment, waiting for the weather to get nice...
2. I bought an amaaazing silk dress at a vintage boutique round the corner from my house, and wore it around town biking and hanging out with friends...until I tore the crap out of the bust seams. Sigh.
(Witness the magic here: http://blog.modcloth.com/2011/03/14/thrift-shopping-try-everything-on/)

From Julia: (who found Margot's fur and dreams about the 50's basket) my email adress is
julia.grip@gmail.com
1. My favorite item is The Marchesa top. I would style it with some high-waisted emerald green pants and black patent loafers, and wear it on St. Patrick's Day!
2. The best vintage I've ever found is a cream and yellow 50's party dress that my Aunt got at an estate sale. It's linen and chiffon and tons of dangling pearls and rhinestones. Heaven!
3. I'm Frances, frances.vinlove@gmail.com
Hello there,
1. My fav. item is the 1920's leather handbag. I would luv to wear/use it all spring/summer long with flowy skirts/dresses <3
2. An authentic vintage LV speedy purse via an Estate sale.
3. Tye Crawford tcrawford18@verizon.net
Thank you! <3
I love the 30's silk and lace nightgown, the Cecilia, and I would style it with a beautiful vintage silk kimono and some delicate slippers for lounging about the house being fancy.
My best vintage find ever was a lovely late 50's/early 60's pink, gray, and white flower patterened dress with a built in crinoline and matching belt that I found last year at the flea market for $10. It was about 100 degrees out that day, so I barely even held it up to me to check for fit, but when I got it home and tried it on it fit perfectly!
