perfect mannequin...

For the longest I have put off purchasing a beautiful, antique mannequin for the shop, and I have now come to terms with the fact that I can no longer put this matter off any longer. Last winter, I came across a gorgeous Wolf mannequin that was in decent condition for about $70.00...I told the owner that I would have to think about it for a few days and unfortunately shortly after, his shop burned down. I still beat myself up for not trusting my instinct that day...wish me luck with finding the perfect mannequin...

Lately I have developed a deep love for beautiful furniture. Although I prefer not to spend too much on a single piece, I do love the thrill of buying gently used antique pieces and might I add, there is nothing like a good 'fix-er-upper.' I purchased a perfect little antique 1960s dresser to compliment my vintage bedroom set...I'm thinking about painting it black to match my desk...

Tres chic

Hi Friends,

I am terribly sorry for not writing lately :(

Life has been crazy... However in the mist of all the chaos, I manage the time to load new merchandise into the shop. I'm talking, 'Betty Davis sunglasses heaven'...These antique glasses are so' posh, I decided to keep a pair for myself :)

Please visit Mod Human Vintage to view all the great vintage inventory!

Antique Wallets & Tapestry Clutches

The shop is now fully stocked with gorgeous shoes, wallets and sunglasses. Another batch of exquisite vintage will also be added tonight. Please visit the shop and happy weekend shopping!

Monday Thought...

It looks like I will finally be able to purchase a new car soon. I took up a part time gig to help 'fund' my additional needs, retail splurges & travel habits :) Also, I am thinking about creating an online antique furniture shop. However, I am concerned about the shipping & pick-up issue. Will I be limited to local pick-ups only? Will shipping tremendously large furniture, be affordable for my customers?!? In the meantime, I'm going to do more research and If all goes well, hopefully I could get everything up & running by October/November...just in time for the HOLIDAYS!

If you have any advice on starting an online furniture store, please send me a message. I will love to get some insider's advice before I jump into it :)

Dainty Shoes 4 Me and You

Today was another eventful day of work...which involved a shopping trip, photo shoot and preparing for class finals. I am a student at a local University for those who had no idea :) I'm studying psychology, which is hard work yet I find it to be extremely interesting and worth pursing. The estate sale was a continuation of the prior event last week. This worked in my favor because I was able to purchase additional merchandise that I did not have the opportunity to make. Also, a huge lot of shoes have been added to the shop! Did I mention that I'm absolutely in love and have been very tempted to keep a few pairs for myself!?! Free shipping is now being offered on orders $124.00 and over. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Lucky 3...

Summer is almost over and many people are getting ready for that last summer trip.

I'm planning a vacation to Hawaii, for my birthday in December and think it would be a wise idea to stay home until then...But with airports and resorts on my mind, I thought it would be nice to add some fresh vintage luggage to the shop. There are 3 vintage 1960s Twiggy Weekend Suitcases now available for purchase.

I absolutely adore all 3!

Saturday Morning Scout...

I hope everyone weekend is off to a wonderful start! Mine is surely going well. Today my mom and I managed to venture off to this huge estate sale in Atlanta, Georgia...earlier this morning.

It was absolutely F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S! There were items consisting of the 1920s era to the earlier 1970s. This particular lady, who hosted this private event, has collected tons of alligator handbags, eel skin clutches, Italian made shoes, marvelous designer wallets and hand beaded cardigans from as early as the 1920s! It was definitely an event any fashion lover would have enjoyed...but no worries...Mod Human will be adding the fabulous pieces we scored, to the shop over the next few days.

Above photos are a 'preview' of the goodies to come :)

Prim and Proper....

I hope everyone is off to great start this week! Too bad I can't say the same for myself :( I have been terribly lazy and way to comfortable to accomplish anything today...except for mailing off the ton of orders we had over the weekend. As a matter of fact...with that being said...okay maybe I'm being way too hard on myself.

Also, a new section has been created and added to the shop today. The name?...'Prim and Proper'....which will feature RARE & LUXURIOUS estate items from the 1920s-1950s decades. The price points will begin at $124+. I find this to be very exciting and a new chapter for Mod Human! I hope you love the new inventory to come, just as much as I do :)

lunch with grandma

I had a lunch date with grand-ma today. We ate at a cute little 'hidden gem' called Oz Pizza in downtown Fairburn, GA...sooo' much fun and the pizza was delicious :)

Afterwards, we decided to browse a few antique flea markets too...grand-ma tried on some of the most amazing retro hats while I went back and forth on deciding to purchase this unique tapestry shoulder bag.

Also, I found a bunch of really cute vintage handbags, sunglasses and train cases for the shop today! I will be cleaning them up, taking photographs and adding each item to the shop tomorrow (Tuesday)...& through out the rest of the week...so please make sure to check to shop daily for new updates :)
