Style Bytes

This time I will take you guys window shopping at the same store, but over different weeks. I have been taking pictures of this store’s display, but have been too busy to do anything about it. So here they are all at once. This is Fretex next to where I live. Too bad to waste a chance at window shopping, right? I can imagine I’m not the only one that is broke after all those Christmas gifts purchases.

Colorful tights are so right. Animal prints as well.

Tulle and knits for snowy days. Black dress touched up with a little color.

Green winter outfit with snow boots. Yellow dress for spring with colorful leggings underneath.

Since we’re in a very vintage mood here at Style Bytes these days, be sure to stop by Debutante Clothing as well. They give 15% off on all items until the end of the year for all customers that has signed up for the newsletter. If you haven’t signed up already you can do so here.

I’ve come across a few more affordable vintage stores since my last post on the topic, so here they are:

The Bees Knees Vintage

Nice prices, great design and fun pictures make this a store worth stopping by.

Drop Your Drawers

This store, with the funny name, doesn’t have anything for sale at the site at the moment. In the meantime you can shop Ebay for their stuff. Starting prices are between $10 and $15.

Peppermint Vintage

A great selection of beautiful items, all at prices that make you smile! Dresses are around $30.

The Vintage Vault

A store with a pretty big selection, but with a lot of the same pleasant prices as the others. Some things you will have to pay more for here, but you can make many bargains as well.

Fashionista Vintage

Many goodies here. Check out this fun Frye leather vest for $35.

Vintage Treasures Galore

Also a pretty big store, and you can get some awsome dresses for $20.

I’m impressed by the number of great stores out there, and if you know of more that deserves some attention, let me know!

…so now take a look at Yesterday’s Moment. Spend $30 and get $10 off, spend $60 and get $25 off. Two days only so hurry up. We are loving the sales!

The sale is only good for those who have signed up for the newsletter, but you can of course do this during the sale.

Today I got the stuff I ordered from Vintage Amore. What a nice surprise after coming home all tired after my final exam! The pictures don’t do the items justice, and the dress has a lot of details that can’t be seen.

The dress:

The earrings:

I will wear the dress with really high heels allthough it might not go with the 60’s style. The reason is that I want to make up for the strict look and make it sexy. The earrings with the rhinestones and the black stones have a little rock and glam kind of style which I adore. Loving contrasts at the moment!

The items were shipped fast, wrapped in nice paper and the they were even nicer than I expected. The affordable prices just made the whole experience even better. Needless to say I will shop from Vintage Amore again.

…and this time it’s Sveet Couture that offers a great deal. Get 20% off on orders over $30 until 17th of December and free shipping until 31th of December.

One of my favorite online vintage stores, Vintage Amore, is today offering free shipping on all items. You don’t want to miss out on this! They offer a nice selection of vintage clothes and accessories at an affordable price. The free shipping offer is even good for international buyers. This is a one day offer, so hurry up!

Update: If you missed the sale you can still get a $5 discount on orders that are $30 or more. This is good until 4th of December.

This weekend I ended up with a bunch of silly things, like a hat that folds into pocket size…

…sunglasses that make me look like a crazy person…

…and a pink shower cap with polkadots.

All of which I bought cause I though they were funny.

The only nice thing I ended up with was a Burberry jacket for my boyfriend. I paid $3 for it so it was quite a bargain. If it hadn’t been too big for me I’d have kept it myself; he already has a Burberry trenchcoat. Life isn’t fair.

So now I sit here looking like a mental patient practicing tricks with my foldable hat.

Wearing a scarf is an easy and unexpencive way to update an outfit. There’s no ends to how you can wear the scarves. Here are some ideas:

Buying a designer scarf is cheaper than buying a designer outfit, and you can still get that right look. But for girls like me secondhand stores is a blessing. I have found many great silk scarves and even a couple of Chanel scarves.

For those of you that don’t have any secondhand stores around, or simply want a better selection to choose from, I have gathered a few online stores where you can buy vintage clothing and accessories without spending too much.

I’ve already mentioned Sveet Cotoure, which is an incredibly affordable and beautiful webstore. $15 for a vintage Oscar De La Renta; you can’t beat that!

Adore Vintage has a wider selection, and is also supplied with lookbooks which help you choose your style. Here you can keep track of everything from street style to celeb style. The prices range from about $20 for necklaces to about $40 for jackets.

At Yesterdays Moment you can also make some great deals. Here you can get a necklace for about $5 and a dress for about $20, allthough prices vary a lot.

Ninja Vintage sells skirts for about $15 and purses for $10.

At Vintage Amore you can get a nice pair of silver Steve Madden shoes for $30 or a dress for around $25.

Debutante Clothing is a bit more expencive than the others on some things, but you can also find some good stuff here. Dresses costs down to $20 (but also up to $110) and accesories around $20.

Some people sell their own wardrobe online as soon as they’re sick of something. Here you can scoop in and make some good purchases. Shop My Closet is one of these, and here you can get everything from designerwear to vintage clothes. Prices range from $10 for a vintage shirt to $80 for a Marc Jacobs jacket.

A similar webstore is Clothes Captioned. Here prices are bout $5 for a t-shirt and $15 for a pair of shoes. They’ve got stuff for both guys and girls.

This is just a selection. If you know of any good ones worth mentioning, let me know!
