Home from Home

When vintage hunting for vic&lily I often come across the weird and bizarre. What I found yesterday proved to be the strangest (in the best way) one yet...

Scotland embroidered onto a blouse!
Why there is grapes in the centre baffles me. What I do love is the name on the label. Couldn't get more Scottish.

Nice when you find a little piece of home from home.

ps. I didn't buy it...should I have done?

Photoshooting...

Photographing all my latest finds in a sleepy neighborhood behind my apartment. There was the usual curious local having a sneak peak, I didn't mind though. All I kept thinking was I had to get this done before the rain came...when will Spring arrive?

Just something...

coming soon to ...vic&lily...

...I picked up.
I had a very successful day thrifting with Liz friend today. Lots and lots of dresses to add to my Etsy store. (yay!) I even found a couple for myself!

Thrifty...

On my recent jaunt to the US I couldn't pass the opportunity to search through the jumble that collects within the many thrift stores. As an avid lover of all things vintage I couldn't say no to this 20s inspired dress (I had just watched The Artist and Midnight in Paris) and an old Polaroid camera. The dress I will be giving up and selling on my Etsy store but as for the camera its too good to part with just yet...

Beaded Beauty...coming soon to vic&lily on Etsy.

Love in LA

Sunny Santa Monica, LA

For fellow Polaroid lovers the Impossible Project have a variety of films to choose from to use on your old cameras. They even have new Gold frames...those I am dying to use!

VM hearts Vintage Shoes

Like most girls I have a love for shoes and all things vintage. I couldn't believe my luck when I came across a pile of vintage shoes at the local antiques market. There was Dior, Bally and special 'Made for Lane Crawford' shoes. There is a downside though, they were all in a petite size 36 and under, too small for my feet...ugly sister moment when I tried to squeeze them on...sigh

But all is not lost, I am passing on my vintage finds onto others through my etsy store ...vic&lily...
They will uploaded soon, so watch this space.
