eVintage Blog Tag- Colour My World
Vintage or Bust! has tagged me for another round of eVintage blog tag!
1) WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE COLOR?
That's a tough one! I have a hard time narrowing it down. I've always loved purple, but right now I'm really into teals.
2) WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE BRIGHTLY COLOURED PIECE IN YOUR INVENTORY?
Right now it's a toss up between this darling purple mod mini dress and this 80's fuchsia and black polka dot prom dress.
3) WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE WAY TO ADD COLOUR TO AN OUTFIT?
I love colorful jewelry, especially bright bangle bracelets.
4) WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE COLOUR TO WEAR?
My mom always said I looked like a "beatnik", but I can't help it, I love black!
5) WHAT COLOUR ARE YOU WEARING RIGHT NOW?
Black, of course! With pink sparkly sandals.
6) WHAT COLOURS DO YOU DECORATE WITH?
We just recently moved into a home that needs a lot of work so we haven't gotten to do much decorating yet. Right now the bedroom is the only room I gotten painted. It's a gorgeous deep teal, with dark gray and very pale gray accents. Love it!

eVintage Blog Tag- Shoes
It's eVintage blog tag time again! This week I've been tagged by Pin-Up Glam to Groovy Kitsch to answer some questions about shoes.
1) SHOW US YOUR FAVORITE PAIR OF SHOES IN YOUR INVENTORY?
I don't sell a lot of shoes, but right now I'm really in love with these vintage 80's colorful cut-out shoes available in our store.
2.) What is you favorite style of vintage shoe to sell?
Like I said, I don't sell a whole lot of shoes as I just don't find them in great condition all that often. However I'm always on the lookout for anything CUTE. I love shoes in general so I just look for anything that catches my eye.
3) FAVORITE VINTAGE SHOE TO WEAR?
I have a bit of a fetish for Mary Janes, however it's very hard to find vintage that will fit my WIDE feet! :(
4) FAVORITE PAIR YOU OWN?
Sadly I don't own any vintage shoes at the moment. I once had a killer pair of vintage motorcycle ankle boots, but I completely wore them out I loved them so much. I'd looooove to find a pair like these from seller peak_vintage in a size 8.5!!
5) HOLY GRAIL OF SHOES?
If I could shrink my 8.5s to a 5 these AMAZING vintage 40s pumps from Ballyhoo Vintage would soooooo be mine!
