Just a little colorful eye candy on another frigid, foliage-less day!
These are but a few of the gorgeous, designer vintage dresses at online retailer Shrimpton Couture ‘Luxury Vintage Reconstructed Pieces and Couture’. There are so many beautiful designer dresses, headpieces, necklaces, shoes and bags with new pieces coming in all the time – and even if you can’t afford most of the prices, it’s worth a look to see some great vintage prints and cuts.

What do you get for the person who has everything? Everyone has everything so this question gets more tricky each gift-giving season. However, something that hangs on the wall is an idea – it doesn’t take up much space and doesn’t add to people’s clutter.

I found these on allposters.ca – an awesome site with thousands of art prints and posters. Another great idea for prints and posters is museum stores.

I love (some) online vintage shops! Boat People is two gals from Quebec City with an eye for coveted vintage. Cool site >>
