buying this wonderful poncho
http://www.lavintage.com/Murray-Plaid-Poncho-60s.htm
and maybe.. this cute bag?
http://www.lavintage.com/70s-Stevie-Striped-Purse.htm
oh yeah.. i want, i want to win!
amazing giveaway!
i love vintage cause it is unique and feels like you are in an other place of last years so romantic and chic feeling !!!!
i would spend it on dresses , dresses, dresses , dresses and dresses :)p
I love vintage because it is just so unique - there is such a small chance that you will ever see anyone wearing the same thing as you. I also like the fact that buying vintage is being a more environmentally conscious consumer. It's basically just really stylish recycling!
I would totally buy some of their boots. They have a great selection!
ohh, i love this site!
i love vintage so much because it feels like a part of history, as cheesy as it may sound, and they're one of a kind pieces that you just can't find at you're average place. and of course i love vintage because the pieces are just so stunning!
hmm, if i won i would honestly have a very tough time choosing what to spend the $100 on! i'm thinking a dress, because i collect them and the ones on there are just amazing, and a great pair of ankle boots :)
I love vintage because you are not only wearing cool clothes, but they have a story behind them. The person before you, who wore this article of clothing could have been a famous writer, poet, movie star, a queen, or maybe just a girl who was just like you. Whoever it was who wore it, they made this outfit special some how and they didn't even know it when they wore it that day.
I would spend the $100 on my mom, and my dearest friends and maybe, just maybe if there was anything left for me, I would buy a pair of new shoes, and spend the day thanking you.
~tati~
i love vintage because it's classic. there's nothing better than incorporating older styles in with the new ones to give off a polished look.
i think i would spend it one a really nice pair of wedges and a nice bag. too things that would compplete any outfit!
I love vintage because it allows for unique pieces to be blended with current pieces in many interesting ways. It allows for the great pieces from the past to be combined in today's world. Vintage pieces add artistic elements and varied aesthetic elements to show part of your personality. It takes an outfit to another level. Plus, I like the combinations of different elements in my outfits and vintage is amazing for that. I actually bought
http://www.lavintage.com/Red%20And%20Black%20Cowboy%20Boots%20Size%2011.htm
right out because I couldn't wait to see if I'd win the contest. I've been looking for red and black cowboy boots forever and this was perfect. So if I won, I'd get the below because I'm in LOVE with vintage dresses!! The polka dot dress is sweet, cute, and great for going out and the sweater would be a great combo with many of the pieces I already have.
http://www.lavintage.com/90s%20Polka%20Dot%20Marie%20Dress.htm
http://www.lavintage.com/80s%20Raphella%20Stripe%20Sweater%20Dress.htm
I love vintage, because most pieces are unique and because they usually have so much more character than the mass-produced clothing of the present. I would seriously consider buying the plaid poncho if I had $100 to spend there.
I love vintage b/c my wardrobe has more variety than it would if I only purchased modern clothes. In current stores only certain limited styles are available for purchase at any given time. Vintage expands the available styles. Plus, the quality of garments are better for the price, especially when purchasing items from the 60's.
So far, I've seen the Where the Boys Are mustard yellow dress from the 60's that I like on the LA Vintage site, but I'm only just starting to comb through the listing. I love that you can search by not just size, but specific measurements!
I love vintage because of the different look and feel of the clothes. You can put something together and know that no one else will have it. Plus, it looks historically conscious!
I would buy the shirts! I need shirts for winter, and this would be a cool place to buy them from!
tgbgbt[at]yahoo[dot]com
Great news! I love vintage!
XoXo
I love vintage because it makes you feel one of a kind. If I won this giveaway, I would probably spend it on dresses, they have a fabulous selection :)
it's fun! when you wear vintage, you stand out from the crowd. vintage clothing is also nostalgic and most of all, enable the wearer to create and maintain an original look.
if i'd get lucky and win, i'd buy vintage boots and dress :)
i love vintage because i love owning one of a kind pieces that no one else is wearing!
i'd spend it on one of their cute belts and a hippie dress!
i love vintage because every piece has a story behind it. ;) ...i'd probably spend the money on some really cool skirts, since they can be such stand-out pieces... or maybe something classic, like a trench coat.
I love everything about vintage. When wearing vintage, you never worry that you're going to turn the corner and see someone wearing the exact same thing you're wearing. The clothes are a throwback to those that have been fashionable before us; we're just continuing the legacy in their former clothes. Plus, I feel less guilty about shopping because I'm wearing clothes that would have otherwise been thrown out.
If I won the $100, I would probably buy this (http://www.lavintage.com/60s-Chic-Parisian-Cardi.htm) cardigan, just because I love the vertical stripes and the double breasted closure. I'd also purchase these (http://www.lavintage.com/90s-Fluent-Fluid-Pant.htm) pants because they are similar to the harem style that's popular, but don't seem too extreme.
I love vintage because it evokes a certain connection with history, with people and events that took place in another time and place, but at the same time, there's the mystery of not really knowing what people and what events, so the imagination can run wild!
I'd get a dress, couldn't tell you at this point which one though... but definitely something flowy, light, and romantic. :P
i love vintage not only because it's unique but because there's just something special about clothes from the past. (my my always said i was born in the wrong era).
I'm really loving all the things they have in my size from the 70s. In particular, I would want to buy the lola lounge dress. Gorgeous!
What a great website! I have trouble finding vintage clothing around my area, so this is a really helpful resource.
I love vintage because it is eco-friendly and unique. I have a minor in Environmental Studies, and I love the idea of reusing clothing instead of purchasing new things unnecessarily.
If I won, I would definitely buy a dress from the 50s. Perhaps the blue one.
I love vintage because of the high-quality craftsmanship and luxe fabrics! There's just no comparing vintage dresses with the low- to mid-range dresses (all I can afford!) available in stores today. I would love to have a gift certificate to find my perfect 60s shift dress!
i love vintage because it is unique and fun and adds so much more personality and character, and helps personalize every day things,
with a 100 dollar gift certificate to L.A. vintage I would buy
http://www.lavintage.com/60s-Ivana-Cropped-Blouse.htm
http://www.lavintage.com/80s-Vegan-Friendly-Bow-Tie-Clutch.htm
http://www.lavintage.com/80s-Sara-Swirly-Dress.htm
When you wear something vintage, you can't help but think about what things that particular article of clothing has witnessed throughout the past, which makes you feel like you're almost part of a different era. Not to mention the certainty that there isn't going to be anyone else there with the exact same thing as you, which is always a fantastic plus.
I'm not sure what exactly I would buy just yet, but it would probably be in the realm of sweaters and dresses and boots :)
I love vintage because of the "I just rummaged through my grandma's closet" type of feel. There's something so costume-y yet wearable about vintage pieces that always appeal to my child-like nature. Not to mention, when you wear vintage you won't see a legion of other people marching around in the same thing unlike when wearing a piece from forever 21 or urban.
After looking through the site, Id say I'm definitely being drawn to all the jumpsuit options. I have yet to buy one and when it comes to jumpsuits, vintage is just so undeniably superior.
I love vintage beacause you can imagine the whole life it had before,where it came from who wore it...
There is also a certain pride in telling people what you're wearing is vintage
If I won I would love
This amazing sequinned jacket it so beautful and such a bargain
http://www.lavintage.com/80s-Cougars-Night-Out-Blazer.htm
If I don't win I may consider getting it anyway.
These cool sunglasses, I've been looking for a nice pair of oversized sunglasses for ages.
http://www.lavintage.com/Darkness-Sunglasses.htm
I love vintage because it's so unique -- because often, it's beautifully made and well-crafted -- because I like my clothes to tell a story.
I would get the "laced-up riding boots," for sure. I currently own no knee-high boots, and I live in a cold climate (the Midwest). Plus, they're in my size!
xo
it's really hard to find good vintage items where i live - they're usually last season's over-priced things. but there's no better feeling than finding a true vintage gem that fits perfectly and that no one else will have!
if i won i would spend the money on things i can wear out when i move to the US in 15 days, because i'm hardly taking anything with me!
I like vintage because most of the time, you are buying a unique piece with lots of character. I enjoy mixing vintage with modern pieces to create a 'twist'.
All my favourite pieces are sold out! But I really like the peachy keen dress (http://www.lavintage.com/70s-Peachy-Keen-Dress.htm). You can toughen it up or keep it sweet and girly. How I wish the tiered wedding dress was still available (http://www.lavintage.com/60s-Multi-Tiered-Wedding-Dress.htm). I'm not getting married but it's a pretty cool find!
First of all, I love vintage because it is unique. Secondly, buying vintage is sustainable and thirdly, the materials 'back in the day' used to be a lot better than the plastic crap many mass retailers sell today.
That store is amazing!And you are right, the prices are very reasonable :)
Oh wishful shopping!
This skirt.. http://www.lavintage.com/60s%20Cajun%20Plum%20Skirt.htm
And this bag... http://www.lavintage.com/70s-Olive-Tooled-Purse.htm
great site!
I don't really know why i like vintage, I just always have. I guess it's because you can find so many unique kinds of clothing you just can't find in a mall. Some of my favorite pieces of clothing came from vintage places. c:
I could spend hours looking through the site finding a million things I would want haha. I especially like the 90s Korean Scene Dress because the color is so pretty. :)
I <3 vintage because it's not just clothing - it's clothing with a story. Every piece has been loved and worn before and you take a part in sharing it's history.
Ahhh man so many great things at LA vintage! All of the sweaters, outerwear and boots that I would buy are all sold out :( (rightly so!) but I would buy the following:
- Katherine Striped Jacket: http://www.lavintage.com/Katherine-Striped-Jacket-70s.htm
- Warm Boots: http://www.lavintage.com/Warm-Boots.htm
-uri (justplainweird@hotmail.com)
i love shopping vintage because it's environmentally and ethically responsible. and affordable, too! i also love the history behind the clothes and the looks of eras past.
and i love these:
http://www.lavintage.com/60s-Twiggy-Sweater-Vest-Dress.htm
and
http://www.lavintage.com/Tangerine-Momma-Dress-60s.htm
<3
The best part of vintage is that it is rare that anyone else will ever find the item you have. Also, finding the perfect vintage piece is pretty special.
I would feed my obsession with floral dresses and booties!
I like wearing vintage because number one, I like wearing things that likely no one else has...and two, because the solar Capricorn in me hates, hates, hates being wasteful and spending my hard-earned cash.
It's more eco-friendly and usually less expensive than buying new clothes. It also makes outfit making more varied and often forces me to be creative. I could go on forever, but I won't. :)
Ahhh, I would probably buy the Calista Crochet blouse
http://www.lavintage.com/Calista-Crochet-blouse-70s.htm
I love vintage clothing because it makes me feel so lovely and classy and I feel like myself when I'm wearing it. I've always felt as if I were born in the wrong decade and vintage clothing allows me to embrace and express myself.
I also love the wondrous thoughts of what the person who wore the clothing before me was like.
Was she ever in love while wearing it? Was she free, happy, adventurous? It's just so neat for me to think that what I'm wearing was worn before me, and will hopefully be worn after :)
And well, with the gift certificate I would most certainly buy a dress, I have such a vintage dress obsession lately :D
http://www.lavintage.com/70s-Angel-Cake-Dress.htm
like that one, so gorgeous!
I love vintage because it's so unique, just like everyone else said. And the feeling when you find the perfect vintage dress is always 100 times better than the feeling when you find a dress on H&M etc.
I'd probably want to buy the "80s Steppin Out Dress" or some nice 60s dress if I won :)
I love vintage because it makes me think about the people who wore the clothes before me, and because vintages pieces stand out.
If I won I would want a cute little sixties dress or some t-strap heels.
What an amazing giveaway!
I like vintage because you can find something unique that no one else has. You can find something perfect for you without having to worry that other people have the same exact thing. Also because its more sustainable. Rather than buying cheaply made new clothes you are recycling the old when you buy vintage.
If I won I would definitely get myself a pair of lovely heeled oxfords:
http://www.lavintage.com/Chocolaty-Oxford-Heels.htm
or a cute floral dress.
I adore vintage in every possible way. The originality that comes with thrift shopping is inspiring.
I absolutely love all things old. The styles that were worn are nothing compared to the fashion nowadays, and they're amazing.
If I were to win a 100$ gift card, it's guaranteed that I would buy floral prints. I love floral prints, they're gorgerous. Also, I would probably purchase some more oxfords. Vintage jewelry is often always the best too.
So many great things come from the past.
whats not to love about vintage? i just love the fit of some pieces on me. like 50s dresses are the best. i would probably buy something like that from the website.
Oh this would be soo cool!
I like vintage probably for the same reasons as everyone else - becuase you can find really unique patterns that don't look like you bought it at the mall. And its also exciting to think about the previous life that this garment had and the future life it will have.
I adore vintage because it makes it easy to stand out among other people. Plus, the prices are usually cheap (:
I would definitely buy the 60's floral sweater if I win!
I love vintage because it's always possible to find something unique and of excellent quality. If I won, I don't know what I would buy! Probably boots, but I also loved the Priscilla Faux Fur Coat, the Forest Love Hobo Bag, and the Beaded Betty Bag. Lovely...
love your giveaways! since I'm in dire need of new sneakers, I'd probably go for those gorgeous blue Oxfords...in my size! oh we were meant for each other! The lacey lace blouse reminds me of Stella McCartney's resort collection which I absolutely love.
I love vintage because it takes me on e treasure hunt:) And even though it takes some time to find the treasure, it's tons of fun when you do find it. Also kinda cool with all the weird, funky stuff you'll see while hunting;) I must also admit..I'm kinda broke. So vintage is my road towards getting something unique.
On LA Vintage I'd go for the "Jackie O flared coat", It's getting cold where I live and I could really use a pretty coat. Also adore the printed harems, especially the rose printed one:)
I adore vintage, and second hand in general because its recycles unwanted clothing. Anything that encourages environmental sustainability is awesome in my books, especially when it involves fashion.
I'd spend the $100 on 'Canvas Spectator Shoes', '80s Disco Ball Dress' and 'Vintage Coach Purse'.
oh vintage is beautiful! if i won i would buy lots of clothes... or maybe that $100 will only get me a shirt or pants o.0 idk. haha
What an amazing giveaway!
I love vintage because it's beautiful and unique and poetic. If I were to win (!!), then I would probably buy a dress because there's just something about vintage dresses that can't be beat. Or I would buy a pair of ankle boots because vintage ankle boots are A.MAZING.
Vintage clothing is the way to go. I avoid going to many of the high-priced trendy retail stores these days. I used to go in there, but it never failed: I'd see someone trotting along the street looking just like me with the same pieces on. I felt less unique and less like myself when this would happen. Now I just stop in there for the basic T's and tank tops.
With 100 bucks to LA Vintage I would definately get myself some shoes or dresses or awesome pants and shirts. It really all depends on my mood the day of shopping. Either way I'd get some awesome stuff that I'd rewear for years just like all of my recycled and thrifted clothes.
Vintage to me is an investment! Fashion always comes around again so you may aswell plan ahead! and if a piece of clothing has managed to last till now it has to be well made. With $100 and the whole of LA Vintage to shop from I would so invest in an adorable printed dress or romper suit! They have so so many I would love to own! So hopefully I could win this awesome prize!
I love vintage because it's so easy to mix up so many different ways.
Example: I can already think of at least 5 ways to wear both http://www.lavintage.com/60s-Darlene-Floral-Dress.htm and http://www.lavintage.com/70s-Vanilla-Sky-Blouse.htm which are the pieces I would start my shopping spree with, haha
I also love this blog and this is my first ever comment and I'm totally being that creeper girl who doesn't have her own blog....yet ;D
Ooh! I'd buy that Mickey Mouse top! Love MM! Also spotted a cute romper or striped dress I'd love as well :)
Haha, snap! My last post has me wearing a vintage batik print sarong...I love vintage because it the piece has a 'history', extra character from something 'brand new', and is also more unique...
xx
I love vintage because I have an embarrasingly childish imagination and love to imagine where the clothes have been before I got my hands on them :)
also the fact that when people sk where I got what I'm wearing, I get to say "it's vintage, darling."
I would spend the $100 on about everything in their 80s collection, including that blazer and the Mandy Blue Jumpsuit :) xxx
I love vintage because it's basically like recycling which benefits out world. When you have vintage clothes on you can feel like you're the only one with that one of a kind item, which is priceless.
I would buy whatever i can with my $100's. It'd probably take me five minutes. :)
I love vintage because it allows me to feel as though I am re-using and recycling! I love the notion that an article of clothing can have so much history attached to it! Also, because I tend to wear so much that my mom handed down to me (She's born in 1944 - 60's &70's outfits ROCK) I feel connected to the past in a really positive way. Vintage makes me happy.
If I were to have $100 to spend at L.A. vintage, I would definitely spend it on the perfect little romper! Ohh, and maybe that leopard-print butterfly purse... Being a curvier lady, it can be such a pain trying to find things which fit! LA Vintage takes away all that hassle, and THAT, more than anything, makes me super excited to have been introduced to it by you! Thank you so much!
i have loved vintge ever since i was a little girl... i used to scour them with my mom looking for halloween costumes and special little nick nacks for the house and i took it to a whole different level. in high school we used to live down the street from a salvation army and i would make weekly visits there to quench my thirst for new (well new for me!) unique things to mix into my wardrobe :) salvation army is still my favorite place to shop ♥♥♥
it is also the ultimate recycling!!! is there a better way to help our planet than reusing instead of creating more?
i just browsed the site and found quite a few things that i would buy... i love the leather checkered 80s drawstring bag, a black sweetheart neck bodycon dress and the faux fur patchy 70s jacket... but i'm sure if i browsed more i could find more, hehe!!
♥ sabella
i love vintage because it helps the enviroment and because it'a a way to give new life to the lives of the preavious owners! i would buy dresses. And boots. And bags. And dresses!
This store is amazing! Thank you for this amazing giveaway!
The reason I love vintage is that whenever i wear a piece of vintage clothing i feel im carrying a piece of history, a piece of story. I love the fact that there is a story begind each piece of vintage clothing. This makes me feel special~
I love the 70s Polka Dottie Dress, the 90s Ms Harris Dotted Romper, that amazing, breathtaking 90s Ms Harris Dotted Romper, the 60s Sweet Eyelet Dress, and the 80s Miss Santa Dress!
I love vintage because I love history. I like to imagine where something has been and who wore it before me. I also simply love clothes ... and vintage ones are nicer on my college student budget.
If I won, I would probably buy sweaters or shoes - something cozy and practical for school, I suppose.
I love vintage because adds an extra to your outfit, something that the rets of the people don´t have.
I would buy a cowboy boots, I really love them!
why i like vintage? it evokes memories that aren't even mine...i can feel nostalgic over times i never experienced!
what i would buy? hmmmm...possibly this dress (love the buttons at the back) or this skirt (love the colour):
http://www.lavintage.com/Stacy-Ames-Dress-50s.htm
http://www.lavintage.com/90s-Casie-Palms-Skirt.htm
I went to school for costume design, so I have a huge appreciation for fashion from all eras. I think it's incredibly interesting how fashion reinvents itself and changes throughout time, yet still holds on to simple staples and elements of design. I love vintage because it incorporates all of these things and allows a person to wear a piece of history on themselves. Vintage clothing has a backstory, a history, and I love that.
If I won the gift certificate, I would spend it on these three things:
Polka Momma Blazer: http://www.lavintage.com/Polka%20Momma%20Blazer%2080s.htm
Laine Splash Dress: http://www.lavintage.com/1980s%20Laine%20Splash%20Dress.htm
Denise Dottie Skirt: http://www.lavintage.com/80s%20Denise%20Dottie%20Skirt.htm
Vintage clothing have a timeless style to it.
I'd buy
http://www.lavintage.com/60s-Darlene-Floral-Dress.htm
http://www.lavintage.com/80s-Hot-Pink-Leopard-Belt.htm
Vintage is beautiful and unique, and often have more little details and quality in each piece than mass-produced chain-store stuff you can buy nowadays. Not only that, but it's eco-friendly and wallet-friendly too :)
Hmm... I guess I would spend the $100 on this crazy awesome skirt: http://www.lavintage.com/60s-Black-Spring-Tulle-Skirt.htm I'm scared of putting it up here in case someone else buys it!
Vintage primarily b/c they are individual pieces - I hate wearing what everyone else is.
I would def get the 80s swirl secretary skirt and maybe the huarache sandals for next summer!
Oh my gosh, I did NOT need to know about this site! I can see myself spending a lot of time browsing it as there is just so much on there!
If I had $100 to spend I would get the 80s In Living Color Dress for $54 and that leaves enough to also get the 80s Twelth Sailor Skirt for $41! Yay!
Thank you, I just had a good browse through there. I've never visited the site before as I tend to stick to UK based sites.
Vintage is amazing because you don't feel generic and the quality is usually so much higher than clothes today.
With $100, I'd buy the bicycles skirt and a bag/shoes, not sure which. And whatever was left over can pay for the shipping!
Oh wow, this site is fantastic!
I adore vintage because it's fun, unique and a bit more creative than just buying something from a shop.
If I had $100 to spend at LA vintage I'd buy one of the dresses I think, they're beautiful... and probably a classic houndstooth skirt like this: http://www.lavintage.com/80s-Marla-Secretary-Skirt.htm
Oh I love vintage because of the possibilities it presents for crafting a unique style. If I wont the contest, I would definitely put it towards the 60's Green Night Skirt and the 70s Tabby Prairie Dress.
I adore LA Vintage and am so excited that you guys are collaborating on this giveaway.
I really get tired of seeing the same clothes on everyone. Vintage allows you to be more individualistic, to create your own style and stand out in a crowd!
As for what I would get, it would be a toss up between the Bonnie Striped Dress 80s and the Donna Disco Dress 70s.
Thanks for hosting this awesome giveaway!
i love vintage because it requires you to be so much more creative. its different than just picking up a skirt and some store.
i would spend the $100 on dresssssses!
i love vintage because its acknowledging these timeless looks and and shapes, and has much more fashion permanence than whatever trendy thing that will look ridiculous in no time. there is a connection and timelessness also with the idea that someone has worn the garment before you, and someone may wear it after you.
less philosophically, really classic shapes look much better on my body than current styles.
i'd love to get a vintage shirtdress, so i would get something along those lines. there was a really great 80's dress that i saw. and i also love that mickey mouse sweatshirt. =]
I love vintage because it's experiencing history, a story. When you wear a vitnage piece of clothing, you sort of get an image of waht journeys the clothing went through.
And I'd spend the $100 on something floral, because florals can take so many forms and show different emotions.
I had never heard of LA vintage before, but I just spent near 30 minutes browsing through the website, and those clothes are beautiful! It would be awesome to have $100 to spend there. The clothes there are so unique and fun! I love the shoes and the bags and the sweaters and the dresses, so I would probably get one or a few of those! Awesome shop, thanks for introducing me to it haha
What a fantastic giveaway!!
I would use the $100 to buy as many of their cute dresses as I could. I can never have enough vintage dresses.
lululetty.blogspot.com
oohhh yummy giveaway Rebecca!
I adore Vintage as I have a nostalgia for the bygone eras and wearing vintage helps reflect my personality. Also I believe clothes are not made as well as in the past too.
big kiss
Marian
i like vintage because it's like going into the past. and i love wearing vintage and hearing old ladies complimenting my style because they've worn it before (:
Wow! Great giveaway. I would definately be heading into the 50's pages to get some nice dresses. I am a big fan of the 50's style of clothing.
I love vintage because the items are so unique and different to what everyone else will be wearing! Plus, the idea that someone else wore the item before you is quite magical... it's so much fun to think up what their lives were like and where they might have worn the items!
I would definitely spend the $100 on a beautiful, feminine dress :)
i dont have a lot of vintage clothing, but those that i have are evidently made better and the hardware and fabric, etc are of higher quality and most of all, they are the inspiration of so many newer fashion nowadays, so it never goes out of style.
Anyway, what i really love from LA Vintage is this fur coat:
http://www.lavintage.com/Ginger-Fur-Coat.htm
its so plush and makes any outfit so dressed up even with casual jeans and flat boots.
I like it because nobody else has it and I would buy shoes and bags...
I love vintage because everything is unique. The chances of finding the same thing twice is very slim and no matter what you choose no one else will have it. Also, I think the best clothing comes from past eras.
If I recieved the $100 gift card I would spend it on a dress because I love wearing dresses during all seasons and I could use some cute dresses for the wintertime.
Why do I love vintage clothes?
Because what's not to love!!!
I would buy a fantastic dress from LA Vintage if I won.
I once read a blog post asking about whether you opt for quality or quantity when shopping. The truth is that I love shopping and constantly unearthing new treasures for cheap. But at the same time, I'm reluctant to spend a lot of money on one great piece. Which is why I love vintage. It's the best way to nourish a shopping addiction without breaking the bank. The fact that no one else will have what I do is just a bonus.
As for purchases, it would be hard to resist these beauties;
http://www.lavintage.com/Simply-Green-Heels-Size-7.htm
Or these;
http://www.lavintage.com/Charles-Jourdan-Pumps-7.htm
i love vintage pieces because they have history, and they're one-of-a-kind. if i won, i'd spend the $100 on a cute sundress, a jacket, and a purse. those are the pieces i find myself wanting most when i go vintage shopping. cool contest, clotheshorse!
i love vintage for a variety of reasons, but mostly because it's so satisfying finding the perfect,unique piece after sorting through a trove of polyester.
lots of good options on their site, and decent prices! i'd probably start with this little sonia rykiel number if i won: http://www.lavintage.com/Sonia-Rykiel-Bolero-80s.htm
so good!
wow what a wonderful site! thanks for showing this to us!
i'd go crazy in the dress section. they have an amazing collection of kicky 80's dresses so i'd just take my pick!
thanks!
lisa
a girl can never have too much vintage! :) very cool giveaway.
oops.. was i supposed to specify which pieces i'd get off the site? i wrote general things. lol. i guess i can't get everything i wanted on the site cause everything's pretty pricey, but i'd def pick up this coat with $100.
http://www.lavintage.com/Penguin-Tan-Coat-70s.htm
soooo cute! i love vintage!
I love vintage because it makes the person more special and interesting if she/he's wearing something totally different than others. Because we all want to look a bit different from the others, right? And the feeling of finding something really old and cool at the bottom of a wardrobe is the same as finding a real treasure in a thrifting store. Amazing.
I think from the store, the dresses, the jackets/blazers and the skirts are just wonderful.
I'm officially obsessed. I love this site. So much to choose from but it would have to definitely go towards a dress or footwear. Everything is adorable.
I love vintage because you know your not going to run into anyone else with the same dress. Or sweater, or boots. Some of my favorite clothes are vintage.
I would buy a sweater and/or a dress.
The 60's Winona Floral Sweater is gorgeous.
Oh my god such an amazing giveaway!
I love vintage clothes because they give you an opportunity to look completely, totally unique. I know that when I'm wearing something vintage, nobody else will be wearing the same thing! I also love the feeling of wearing clothes with character - that somebody else ten or thirty or fifty years ago wore what I'm wearing and had amazing times in it!
I would buy the 80s Trudy Flats, the 80s Little Miss Sunshine Oxfords, or the 50s Stacy Ames Dress. So many gorgeous things!
The reason I like vintage is because I feel that each piece has its own history, or story to tell like a really amazing book, and when I wear it I'm able to add one more page to that book and become part of the history that the piece has. Vintage also allows me to simply go back to simpler times a feeling that is always wonderful. Sometimes I'll find something that reminds me of my childhood or a time I wish i had been born in and that's why I love Vintage.
i love vintage because its not something you can go to the mall and get in s,m,l
its something that you really have to look at and for
it gives such...individualism
and great conversation pieces
i would spend $100-easily-on some of the great patterns, especially on the dresses
xo
i absolutely love the ginger fur coat. i've been looking for a good fur coat for a while now, and it's so cute. and i'll only buy vintage fur, versus fur that is currently in production. so it's ideal.
way cute stuff...i would get the 80s bonnie striped dress and 60s green velvet purse. I like that vintage is usually one of a kind and that a lot of it is simple and classic.
Thanks for the heads-up. I've never shopped at LA Vintage, but I'm sure I'll start now!
I love vintage because it is usually one-of-a-kind! I really hate showing up to school or a party and having people tell me that they have the exact same dress from Target or wherever.
There is definitely too much to choose from, but I think if I had some money to spend at LA Vintage, I would definitely think about getting a cardigan. I have been looking for a nice mustard-colored one or maybe a red one for a long time. This lovely 60s Gold Rush Cardigan (http://www.lavintage.com/60s%20Gold%20Rush%20Cardigan.htm) might do the trick!
Hooray! Thanks for this post, I had no idea La Vintage existed!
I love vintage because you can find unique pieces create one-of-a-kind looks. Plus, I'm also a photographer and I love editorials that mix the modern with the vintage.
If I won... I'd spend it (and maybe my own money!) on at least a couple of these:
http://www.lavintage.com/Jackie-Plaid-Coat-60s.htm
http://www.lavintage.com/80s-Lacy-Lace-Blouse.htm
http://www.lavintage.com/40s-QualiCraft-Platforms-6-1/2-AA.htm
http://www.lavintage.com/70s-Dotted-Lucy-Dress.htm
vintage is great because it's individual and all that, but what I like most about it is feeling like I'm a part of someone else's past and to think that someone else loved it before you.
if i were to use spend $100, I would have to buy
this skirt because i love that bamboo
http://www.lavintage.com/90s-Bamboo-Boo-Skirt.htm
and these boots:
http://www.lavintage.com/90s-Lisa-Combat-Boots-8.htm
I love vintage because it gives you an amazing chance to have something really special that no one else will have!
I would spend the gift certificate on the 80s Wendy Garden Dress, this great brightly-colored floral dress which would go with so many different colors, and the elegant little 70s Navy Blue Purse.
i love vintage because its affordable and sooo individual! you will be able to go to a party knowing that you'll be dressed individually!
i would buy loads of sweaters from LA vintage if i was lucky enough to be the winner!
like you said, you can buy vintage without feeling guilty about the environment and rampant consumerism! I also love thrifting because of the thrill of the chase. After rummaging around for a while its so satisfying to find something radical!
Thanks for letting us in on LA vintage- what a sweet website. I love that you can browse sizes and colours.
Anyway I have been dreaming of some bright blue or aqua shoes! to my dismay some of the really cool ones are already sold, but I'm sure i can find something! xx
I love vintage because, quite simply, it is timeless and never fails.
I'm pretty certain that if I were to win such a wonderful prize I would purchase at least one dress and/or skirt. Then I would consider some form of accessory or a pair of shoes. I'm really fancying the Mary Francis Dress!
I think vintage is amazing.
It's a great way to express your style and you know no one else will have it.
There's so many things to choose from!
I would buy a dress, a sweater, or some of those oxford-type shoes that you have. (:
theprincessmelted@rocketmail.com
I love vintage because most things are so interesting and unique, and it can make you stand out! :)
Things I'd possibly spend that money on..... the 70's Charlie Girl Skirt, 90's argyle print dress, 60's where the boys are dress, 80's lady carol dress,70's heidi ho dress.... there's just wayyyyyy too much to choose from!!!

LA Vintage is actually a recent love for me. I stumbled across it after window shopping on modcloth.com. I go to a school with a lot of preppy kids who like to wear jcrew and polo and I love being an individual and breaking the norm. LA Vintage has so many cool things that nobody would have. Right now I'm eyeing a pair of doc martens.;)
I love vintage because it adds a unique perspective to every outfit, and it is usually more inexpensive, especially if you know what you're doing. I will be getting lots of great shoes if I win. I also love the green polka dot Peridot dress (http://www.lavintage.com/70s%20Polka%20Peridot%20Dress.htm) SO CUTE!
Wearing vintage is the best way to go if you want to have a one-of-a-kind outfit... everyday or special occasions!
<3
Wow many of those comments on this post really amazing, just wish me luck for winning it. I like vintage because it have many of uniqe patterns that seems alive, especially the boots , like a cowboy boots, It got me hypnotized
If I won , I would buy Doc Marc or just 90s Nine West Ankle Boots , ang some dress I think , because I don't have A dress , thanks :)
I love this store! I wish I had $100 to spend there, any day.
if I won I'd buy the 50s Stacy Ames Dress for sure. it's gorgeous. and I'd have enough left over to get the 70s hypnotic breeze dress on sale!
I would buy some black heels and look for a 60s dress...I love that store. I love vintage because you can create completely unique looks. Also because I have always loved old fashioned things, and I bless this vintage trend for making me not a dork for wearing them!
hmlewis75@yahoo.com
I love vintage because it's unique- if I wear a dress I found at a vintage store, I don't have to worry about running into someone wearing the exact same thing was me! Plus, vintage pieces are super versatile :)
If I won, I think I'd invest the money in one of the dresses, like the Annie Halter Dress or the Bonnie Striped Dress and probably a pair of shoes :)
Thanks for hosting this amazing giveaway!
atomic[.]unicorn[@]gmail[.]com
i love vintage because i enjoy knowing that when i walk into a room, not only do i have expertly crafted clothes but my clothes will also make a statement about who i am.
if i was chosen as the la vintage giveaway winner these clothes would immediately be added to my shopping cart:
1.) 70s tabby prairie dress
[http://www.lavintage.com/70s-Tabby-Prairie-Dress.htm]
2.) ferragamo button heels
[http://www.lavintage.com/Ferragomo%20Button%20Heels.htm]

[http://www.lavintage.com/60s-Patent-Leather-Perry-Purse.htm]
i'd inevitably end up spending more than $100 though...
xo.

I love vintage because its unique!
I love vintage because of its uniqueness! I don't consider myself trendy at all, but I like interesting pieces in my wardrobe, so vintage is usually the way I go.
I would love to own the Three Ring bag and the 80s Cougar Boots. I always have a hard time finding good big bags and boots, but LA Vintage did the job for me!
i love vintage simply because it is so different. most girls at my school wouldn't be caught dead in something *gasp* used! but i have so much fun taking old things, updating them into a look that is all my own. and the whole treasure hunt is pretty awesome too!
i would totallt buy this dress.
http://www.lavintage.com/70s-Minnie-Pom-Pom-Dress.htm
so in love.
i love vintage because, when you wear vintage, you are guaranteed that no one will have the same outfit as you.
i would spend money on dresses and cardigans. a billion of them.
I love vintage because it is unique, environmentally friendly and inexpensive.
I would buy booties! I've been looking everywhere for good vintage booties.
I love vintage clothes because to you it may be your newest, most loved treasure but to someone else it holds so much history and memories. Vintage clothes are also usually super affordable and shopping in a thrift store is always a fun challenge--digging through racks of clothes or piles of accessories to find bargains. That feeling of satisfaction and triumph of finding something is irreplacable. Vintage is also very rare, so you know that not many people will have the same clothes as you do, whereas if you shop at H&M and Forever 21, you should expect to find people wearing the same thing as you.
LA Vintage is so great. The website IS incredibly easy to use. I would probably spend the $100 on their bags and those yellow miss sunshine oxfords!
I love vintage because it transports you back to another era or time when you put a piece on and I think that is so magical!
I'll love a pair of oxfords (http://www.lavintage.com/Enzo-Oxford-Heels-Size-6.htm) and this amazing dress (http://www.lavintage.com/Polka-Dottie-Dress-70s.htm)!!!
I recently had the opportunity to choose a research topic of my choice for a school paper. I ended up writing about the effects of the fashion industry on the environment. I love vintage not only because it is unique and historical, but also because wearing vintage clothing extends the life of clothing that would otherwise be filling up a landfill. By investing in vintage, I am also preventing the need to buy new clothes. If everyone invested in quality vintage items, the fashion industry would pollute the environment much less because the demand for new clothes would fall and less of the cheap clothes made today would end up in landfills.
It just so happens that vintage is in style and fun to wear on top of all of that!
If I won, I would probably invest in a few timeless purses such as this one:
http://www.lavintage.com/60s-Patent-Leather-Perry-Purse.htm
It has a timeless shape but the patent leather makes it seem updated!
It's quite hard to browse the LA Vintage site without finding something wonderful, but since I have no money to splurge on any of the pieces, I only looked long enough to find one piece to use for this comment. I would definitely go for their 70's Pineapple Delight Dress. It's fun and light and probably could be worked in many ways. :D
I like vintage because it's a unique style and also has a rich history to the clothes. Some of the dresses I like were sold, but I really like the 80s tassle bag as well.
i love vintage because it makes me feel like I am doing justice to another persons history. That I am bringing that person back and recreating their piece with a new memory making that piece just so much richer and complex than before. I would buy this: http://www.lavintage.com/80s-Dear-Flora-Dress.htm
I love vintage because of how unique and intricately detailed some of the pieces of the past were.
If I had $100, definitely spend it on accessories or a dress....or...
oh, and my email address ^ is hrhcow@gmail.com
Vintage is so one of a kind and unique, it's easy to love! I would love to buy some sweaters for the winter and some lovely dresses and skirts!
I think the Bonnie Striped Dress 80s is really cute. And also the 60s Where The Boys Are Dress is so vibrant and lovely!
I got my vintage bug from my older sister. She would drag me along to Buffalo Exchange and all the cool hip hidden thrift stores and taught me the fine art of combing through the racks of clothes and finding the good stuff.
I love that the unique finds get to have a new home and new stories to tell with a new owner. :)
Vintage is amazing because it shows how truly cyclical everything is. Plus it reminds me of my grandma. Plus, it's environmental.
I would totally get some of the amazing vintage shoes and coats available at LA Vintage.
I love vintage because you can wear the gorgeous styles of yesteryears!
I can't choose between the 1980s Kylie M Dress and the 80s Wendy Garden Dress! They're both too cute!
I love vintage because it is always unique, and there is a story hidden in each piece of clothing. I might spend the $100 on the 80s Prima Rose Windbreaker and the 70s Stevie Striped Purse... hope I win!
I love vintage because no one else has what you're wearing. Also, many pieces are so much more well made than modern clothes are!
As for what I would buy: eegads I don't know. Probably shoes or a dress knowing me. Maybe something like this: http://www.lavintage.com/Stacy-Ames-Dress-50s.htm or http://www.lavintage.com/70s-Polka-Peridot-Dress.htm or http://www.lavintage.com/60s-Sweet-Eyelet-Dress.htm or http://www.lavintage.com/80s-Grey-Stripe-Scarf-Dress.htm ... I'm sure it would take me ages to decide. haha
I love vintage because I get to be creative when I'm choosing things--It's whimsical. And I know I'll be one of few people wearing my items. There's also something about wearing someone else's clothes from another era that adds a personal touch and makes my clothes, and me, feel special.
I would spend the $100 on the 70s Vanilla Sky Blouse and the Triangulation Heels!
WOW! Everything here looks great!
colormenana.blogspot.com
i love vintage (particularly the 60s and 70s) because it makes me feel like part of the age my parents grew up in.
i would love to use the $100 on the 70s Dingo Ankle Boots as well as the 60s Mod Mary Boots!
I love vintage because it's a small preserved piece of history. Also, you can always look lovely and unique in vintage!
I've been sitting around browsing this website for hours shouting "WANT!"
I adore some of these choices though:
http://www.lavintage.com/80s-Eber-Cute-Sweater.htm
http://www.lavintage.com/80s-Raphella-Stripe-Sweater-Dress.htm
I love vintage because the quality and level of craftmanship I can find far exceeds new clothing I could afford.
I love vintage for to many reasons! I'd spend a $100 on the really cute Heidi jumper.
wow so much selection!
well i love vintage because u can always find something completely unique at vintage stores plus there's always something reassuring to me that someone else loved this piece too.
looking through LA's site, i would probably spend the money on these cool platforms and that mickey jacket or something.
I love vintage simply for it's utterly nostalgic feel, It just brings me back to an era that I can only dream of living in. I suppose it's the only way I can do so.
I would buy:
http://www.lavintage.com/60s%20Shirred%20Sherry%20Mod%20Dress.htm
and
http://www.lavintage.com/60s%20Shirred%20Sherry%20Mod%20Dress.htm
and
http://www.lavintage.com/60s%20Fannie%20Brocade%20Dress.htm
and
http://www.lavintage.com/60s%20Sea%20and%20Sun%20Bandeau%20Dress.htm
ella/birdofthesummer@yahoo.com
i like clothes that make me feel pretty - and sometimes vintage things achieve that better than 'modern' ones.
my favourite things from the site are '60s goldrush cardigan' and 'terra boots'
teganacorker (at) hotmail (dot) com
wow... a lot of vintage lovers here :) I love vintage because it's everlasting.
I would spend all the money for bags. I love bag :)
I've always love love vintage because they're such unique pieces and that the designs and the stories they hold are amazing !
and these are what I would buy because they just gorgeous!
http://www.lavintage.com/Donna-Disco-Dress-70s.htm
http://www.lavintage.com/70s-Stevie-Striped-Purse.htm
I love these vintage bags! The leather across the shoulder bags would be my splurge.
i love vintage because it reminds me of my childhood and the time i spent with my mother. my mom loves rummage shopping so i grew up with a love for the 'hunt' buying all my clothes used and vintage at thrift stores and second hand shops.
if i had $100 to spend at LA Vintage, i would invest in a blanche devereux late 80s/early 90s print shirt dress like the Lanvin Biz Lady Blouse listed on the site.
hard to really choose though... xo
www.shewilldressherself.blogspot.com
what a great giveaway! love vintage cuz it's unique (not to mention most of the time the quality is so much better than what you can get now)
i'd probably start my $100 with some funky skirts like this one: http://www.lavintage.com/80s-Twelth-Sailor-Dress.htm
I LOVE vintage clothes because they remind me of happier times...
Just a whole different eras where there was more life and play instead of dreariness. When you put on something vintage, you get a certain aura around you, you feel special, even interesting. Not to mention it's fun to pretend like you're in a different time and the best way to do that, in my opinion, is to dress yourself in vintage clothes. I would spend the gift card on a vintage-inspired swimsuit or on a dress (I love dresses too)... maybe a cute purse or a bag...
Vintage is always so much fun to play with!
From the LA Vintage website, I would defiantly get any bright and colourful dresses. There are so many options I can't just choose one answer!
As generous as this giveaway already is, but for the matter of shopping no amount is ever enough!! But I would spend my 100 wisely if I win..these are my picks :
80s Black Corset Belt
and
70s Charles Jourdan pumps
I like vintage because its fun and unique! I love the bright orange Lilli Ann Coat 60s.
Elaine R
emrosser@shaw.ca
Oh, great comp!
I love vintage because you get something unique and the quality is just so much better than you tend to fine nowdays in stores.
I would spend the money on an adorable summer dress or two (it's just coming into summer here in Australia) and possibly some vintage brogues (there are some fabulous white ones on LA vintage).
I love that micky mouse sweater. its something a young michael jackson would wear. so cute! :)
xoxo
natalieoffduty.blogspot.com
either a dress for the holidays (i'd really like to find something different!)or something in an animal print ~
thanks for a great opportunity! (: and especially for opening this up to international customers!
i love vintage clothing because i simply love that feeling of digging through stuff and finding something that is so unexpected yet exactly, uniquely you.
and if i get the $100 giveaway i would use it on the awesome vintage dresses, such as these:
80s jean bouquet dress
http://www.lavintage.com/80s-Jean-Bouquet-Dress.htm
70s peachy keen dress
http://www.lavintage.com/70s-Peachy-Keen-Dress.htm
80s island sailor dress
http://www.lavintage.com/80s-Island-Sailor-Dress.htm
I love vintage because it's giving new life to something that's been abandoned. It's also really helpful for the environment, and as a vegetarian, I don't feel bad about buying vintage leather items.
Without having checked the size, I like the Tangerine Momma Dress, and I also liked the Flapper Fay bag. Very cute!
I love vintage simply because i like to be unique and not feel like i'm wearing something a thousand other people have. With vintage, of course, someone else HAD it, but it's on 'IN' and when i go out i won't have to worry about being caught in the same dress!
Oh and of course, i'll be lovely 50's style dresses from LA vintage :)
Vintage fashion is timeless. It's able to transcend beyond "what is in" at the moment and become special to the individual. I would probably spend $100 on this 70s MCM bag they haven't yet sold out of **cough cough** =)
Vintage combines the thrill of the hunt with the reassurance that no one will have the same thing as you (at least no one you know). I also love wondering what kind of life a peice of clothing had before it came into my possession (as silly as that sounds). Basically, vintage is more satifying than mass produced retail.
If I won, I'd get the 80s Savannah Garden Skirt, the 80s Heather Huarache T Straps 8, the 80s Hot Pink Combat Boots 8 or the 70s The Wild Pair Ankle Boots 7 1/2. SO many cute shoes! Very hard to choose...
FANTASTIC GIVEAWAY!
why i love vintage.. because it is unique, beautiful and classy. <3
their shop is amazing, i love all of the dresses, but most of the ones i want are sold.
oh my.. shoes... *drools*, they are all so LOVELY :D
and the sweaters are divine. seriously beautiful and vintage and just lovely.
every single item of clothing is beautiful and well, lets just say i want it!
xx
Look at your comments! Unbelievable! I love vintage..and while there are great recycle shops here..it's not like home. So much better! Guess you figured that out when you were here. I would spend the money on shoes and accessories..perhaps a few cool shirts for fall. It's starting to get quite cool here!
I got exposed to vintage reading your blog. Honest. And since then I'm on the lookout for vintage inspirations to incorporate into my wardrobe as well :)
I lke vintage cuz the handwork there is often much better than the mass-produced clothes we have nowadays. And who can say no to vintage dresses that cut perfectly to your body? Riggghhhhtt???
I'd be spending the $100 on the 1980s Laine Splash Dress. http://www.lavintage.com/1980s-Laine-Splash-Dress.htm
The colours just grab me! And ohhh would you look at the laidback style of the dress! Yums!
I love vintage because there's a story behind every piece. I love the attention to details, the handwork, and how timeless some of them are.
I would spend the $100 gift card on one of the amazing dresses. cannot make my mind yet. :)
Vintage is so great! I love it and can never get enough of it. It's so unique and classic! What's not to love? Not sure what I'd purchase because there's too many fabulous choices!
i love vintage, because it gives me the chance to feel like my mommy did. and my mommy was such a cool chick then!
I'm not sure about my purchase. i think i would order a big sweater, a flower-patterned dress or a a really cool shoulder-padded blazer.
nothing can compare to the craftsmanship of vintage clothing! I would definitely buy myself some nice skirt.
Vintage, like me, is irreplaceable! I'd love to buy all the accessories with that gift card!
Awesome giveaway!
I love vintage clothing because it takes me to another time. I feel as if I wasn't supposed to be born in this decade. The '40s seem to suit me more, clothing wise. Besides, shopping for vintage means I get to treasure hunt through goodwill!
mellogreem(at)yahoo(dot)com
I feel meself a little different when i wear vintage, its like you dont belong here but somewhere in the past. Vintage never bores me :)
This shop is wonderfull, i would be in heaven if i won this giveaway..
Best wishes,
lara530@hotmail.com
Vintage is quality - these pieces didn't survive throughout the years because they were mass produced and sold at Walmart! Vintage is DIFFERENT - I don't want to dress like everyone else. Vintage is anti-landfill. I love to embrace the environmental cause by shopping for fashionable clothes and accessories!! I love vintage because I believe inanimate things can hold impressions of the past and each item may have a story behind it!
I love vintage because:
1) I am from a typically working-class background, and it can be difficult to afford unique clothes- this is where thrift stores/charity shops step in!
2) I am what you would kindly call 'curvy'- vintage dresses are often cut perfectly for my shape.
Should i win, i would buy a gorgeous coat, as i am from Scotland where it rains/snows constantly and so i'd have plenty of opportunities to wear it :)

i love everything about vintage, how well it's made, the unique fabrics, the fact that no one else owns the exact same thing! i would more the likely buy a dress. vintage dresses are my absolute favorite.
I like wearing vintage because I know:
- no one else will be wearing it
- an interesting piece will make everyone ask about it!
The parts of the web site for LAVintage, I'm getting a syntax error, so I can't search for what I would purchase if I won. But I am sure it would be dresses and skirts!
Thanks for the giveaway!

I love vintage because most items are flexible. You can incorporate them with anything and you end up with great fashion statements.
If I win (crossing fingers), I'm definitely buying a pair of boots or pairs. I can't choose! Aaaah! Make me win!
Vintage makes you look real: your clothes look like they're part of you, never like you're trying. It's easier to look like you've always looked this amazing when you wear vintage. And vintage dresses are always more flattering: I want this one! http://www.lavintage.com/Stacy%20Ames%20Dress%2050s.htm
I think I was born a few decades too late - I love vintage because it's nearly one of a kind, allows you to stand out in a sea of UO and F21, and is generally better made!
I'm looking for a great pair of lace-up black boots - or something with a peplum. Thats where my $100 would go!
I love vintage because it has a history. Whenever I look at it, or wear it, I think of who it was that wore it last. I think about how that person's life played out and what they did. I like to imagine what the previous owner was like.
If I won, I would definitely scout out some nice vintage boots and a comfy oversized sweater for winter... but if I find a unique dress in my size, I simply might not be able to resist! =P
Amanda
i <3 vintage because stuff isn't made the way it was made back in the day...
i would spend the money on some cute dresses and accessories!
I love vintage because all the clothing is unique and rare and chances are, no one else will be wearing what you are. I would spend the $100 on some cute dresses and maybe some vintage shoes/boots!
'Cause it's unique, what else?
I love vintage because it makes me feel individual and unique, and knowing that no one else (i know) has this particular item makes me feel pretty and special :)
I would spend it on:
http://www.lavintage.com/90s-Bamboo-Boo-Skirt.htm
and
http://www.lavintage.com/70s-Navy-Blue-Purse.htm
I realise these items dont match but i love the skirt because I've never seen anything like it before

It's a little of everything! The fact that it's one of a kind, the cuts and silhouettes are cuter, the quality of fabric and sewing is so so much better. Everything's a little better when it's vintage.
With $100, I would definitely snag a pair of ankle boots!!
I love vintage b/c the clothes tell a story and are one of a kind. I would so go and buy a rocking dress and a handbag!! xx
Love Vintage because each piece is unique and sometimes a piece of art. When you wear one of them you can be sure that you're wearing exclusive and original stuff.
I love vintage clothes because it's perfect for my budget and healthy for the environment.
If I'll win I'll pick 80s Karen Floral Dress, it's so pretty!
I love vintage because when you go shopping at a vintage shop its like finding a surprise. The clothes are unique and I feel like they have a story :P
I had a look at the store and I would definitely buy a nice dress or a sweater for the fall. The purses are cute too :)
I love vintage because I like the thrill of hunting for great hard to come by pieces.
I would love to have the 90s Ms Harris Romper! http://www.lavintage.com/90s-Ms-Harris-Dotted-Romper.htm
Why oh why do I love vintage?
Let me count the ways:
1. You know each and every piece is unique and one-of-a-kind fabulous.
2. The thrilling treasure hunt to find "the one."
3. The ability it has to help you find a style all your own (in a day when trends abound)
What would I buy? Well, I'm starting a new shopgirl adventure where vintage-y is the vibe and would love nothing more than to perfectly fit in and 'look the part.'
Fantastic prize. So glad I could throw myself into the running ...
~BB
Hi
I love vintage because it is revival of the past into a contemporary piece that nobody else owns. I love vintage with a contemporary pieces
I been shopping on LA Vintage and the next piece I can't wait to have is the 90s Fluent Fluid Pant to match some of my other tops.
Thank u for this contest!

I could write a whole book based on the many reasons why I love vintage and why vintage loves me back...but one of the major components is that vintage allows for styles that have gone to the way side, to be embraced and valued.
I would probably go for the 1950's selection of dresses... gotta love shirt dresses :0)

I love vintage because is more easy show my individuality with vintage clothes.

I LOVE vintage shopping and clothes because my great-grandmother always would take my sister and I to thrift stores!
I love vintage because it makes me dream! I try to imagine how life was at that time.
I guess I would spend the 100$ on a flowery dress...
1st. thank you for giving me a lovely new place to "window shop" at. If i had a gift certificate I would immediately buy

and then save the rest for the next beauty that comes along.
I love vintage because it's unique and uncommon on my campus. I also love the thrill of the hunt--coming through the racks of clothes at my local thrift stores until that one item pops out. I love the different ways a vintage item catches my attention--the texture, the color, the print.
Lovely blog,

Oh vintage is such a friend :) I love vintage dresses, with lots of ruffles and frills. The girliest of vintage so I can pretend the piece was once worn by a lady of the house!
I love vintage because its unique. I'm an individual and I don't like wearing the same clothing as others. I would probably buy some cute dresses!
PS I might have entered twice. So sorry if I did, I couldn't find my comment above and I didn't write what I wanted to buy before.
I love vintage clothes because they are often quite different than clothing you would find at the normal store. It allows you to express yourself differently than most other people. When ever I wear something that is vintage it makes me feel kinda special. I love having something that is for the most part uniquely my own :)
If I won the $100 giveaway, I would probably use it to buy a new jacket. What better thing to have as winter approaches?
I love vintage because I hate the mall! I would spend the $100 on a cozy knit dress, maybe a great leather purse, and some practical boots.
Thanks!!
