Embracing The Wave

Already being a huge fan of the curling iron, I've been really digging the retro wave lately. It's a great way to add variety from the modern curl. Here are a few styles for you to recreate your vintage hair style of choice.  I'm planning on trying ALL of these fab looks, eventually.  They're all so great it's hard to favor one.  

Glam the look up even more with costume vintage jewelry.

Vintage In Action

Love my vintage necklaces!  I always mix and match vintage accessories with contemporary clothes. It's the perfect recipe for a unique and current look. Get yourself vintage jewelry online at - Rack and Sack.

A Rose Bowl Experience

Shopping around in Los Angeles to find new products for my online vintage store typically includes a monthly visit to the Pasadena Rose Bowl flea market. I've made it a point to habitually attend and yet I still find myself somewhat overwhelmed when I arrive to a welcoming of thousands of vendors (literally over 2500 booths, I asked). Needless to say, making this an all day event is the only way to cover enough ground to leave satisfied and feel like I found the best of the best products to add to Rack and Sack. With an array of costume and fine vintage jewelry to select from, I always manage to find products I feel good about and get excited to share with my customers. 

Although it's always fun, running around searching through thousands of booths is never an easy task. I can see why some people get turned off by the idea of flea markets and steer clear of the overwhelming feeling that's almost inevitable. Your thoughts: Where do I start? How do I buy? How can I tell if this is vintage? What vendors carry the best products? Is this priced right? -- And that's sort of how the idea of Rack and Sack was born. An experienced hunter with a great eye (me) does the searching for you. Now get to it and start SHOPPING!
