Whoa, VINTAGE clothing show? I wasn't aware. I know that there's a 'normal' clothing show though...
That's great though. I'll be sure to check it out.

You really, really should! It is so incredibly fun, and is quickly becoming one of my favourite traditions. I got both my red dress/coat and yellow gloves from there. Even if you don't actually buy anyway though, it is just so good to attend!
Here's the link...

A bit more expensive, but definately worth it! May I ask where you got those? I take it you're in Scandinavia, but still...

I have never seen anything of this quality where I go...!

scandinavianchic, I love your finds! You have a great eye!

I should take pics of my finds too but it seems like such a big job

ok, one word: EBAY!

Ebay has the most awesome selection of vintage wear, and the prices are fabulous!

I purchase my vintage items in two stores in Oslo, Norway, and the rest on ebay. The turquoise d'orsays I got for $10!

Look at this beauty: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...MEBWA%3AIT&rd=1

I have actually never seen a vintage piece go for that much except for old Pucci items!

That explains it then! I have also seen a ton of amazing stuff on ebay. I'm just too afraid to shop from them. I don't have a credit card and don't understand how paypal works. If anyone could explain how I could possibly buy off there though, I would start shopping in a second! As a matter of fact, I have their "Twiggy mod" page up on my favourites. I check it every one in a while just to drool.

I once saw this incredible dress from the 1920's that cost about as much. Also on ebay, of course. I think they do it just to make me miserable...

Visit www.paypal.com to find out. I think a lot of my american friends transfer cash from their account, so you don't need a credit card. And if you don't want to use paypal, most of the sellers accept money orders from american buyers...

But I recommend using paypal, it's so easy to use!

DON'T look at the accessories and background on this pick, it's the sellers pic...
