Here are all the goodies found on a recent shopping trip to Athens. My absolute favorite find is definitely the 1920s Tapestry Handbag. It's a rare beauty and I almost cried when my husband spotted it (for me)

small shoes to fill...

1950s English Garden Peep Toes

Finding the perfect vintage shoe is hard to come by... especially if your foot is a size 5~

I can't seem to remember the story behind this particular pair (besides the fact it was made by D'Alexis, an exclusive designer in the 1940s-50s...) however they are stunning, made with excellent craftsmanship and of course is a size 5.5M ... not to mention now available in the shop.

Rocket To Mars... vintage shop

Providence, RI

A few weeks ago I took a trip up north to Providence and found this adorable vintage shop just a few blocks away from my sister's apartment. I found gorgeous handbags from the 1940s -1960s decade...it's safe to say that I stocked up ! There were plenty of cocktail dresses that I now regret not purchasing... however I did have a hard time stuffing these bags into my suitcase :/

I stayed inside the entire day working on the shop and conducting various 'paperwork' tasks...all while sneaking in a few pages here & there from my latest summer read...The Castle House. I'm a little embarrassed to admit that it's now been more than 2 weeks and I have yet to finish the short book...I blame it on Mr. Rugged and Mod Human Vintage :)
Rugged & I are taking another road trip over the weekend... hopefully I will find the time to finish before then and if not, oh well.
side note: I don't really blame you honey...I actually THANK YOU for our wonderful dates ;)
