This past weekend I went vintage shopping at Village Gate with my mom. Most of the building is filled with artist studios, but the first floor is home to two of the only real vintage shops in Rochester, Far Out Vintage and Ricky's Place. I always love going there because it is such a unique and inspiring spot, filled with artwork and color and light - so *not* typical of Rochester! But honestly, the pictures showcase it better than I ever could, so I'll let them do the talking!
And now, to announce the winner of the $100 gift card to Shopbop! I really loved all of your responses - it was so hard to pick just one! But in the end, the gift card will be going to...... Megan, of Mallrat Couture! Megan wrote this awesome poem I have to share with you all:
What's in a name?...
Elizabeth and James;
from uptown chic
to downtown freak,
they've got you covered-
after you've discovered
their Hand Bar rings,
suede sandals perfect for spring,
you'll see my favourite-
I would wear it out every bit-
Triple Pocket Blazer covered in gold,
one look and you've got me- I'm sold!!
I love it! Congrats Megan, and be sure to come back here and let me know what you buy with your $100 gift card! And for the rest of you all, I have yet another amazing giveaway coming up, that you all must come back and enter - I'll be posting it later this week! :)
