Online Vintage

I always have found that vintage shopping can be a bit tricky. Not only is finding a good boutique where you can find gently worn items is a challenge but you never know if you are getting the real deal. So when I saw that vintage shopping was available online with companies that guarantee authenticity, I was intrigued. Its always fun to locate some discontinued styles, hard to find brands or just that item you love and don't want to pay full price on. Some online boutiques like 1st Dibs offer so much more then fashion including vintage furniture, art, jewels and so much more. However if luxury brand bags and accessories are what you are looking for I like to browse Tradesy, Portero, Fashionphile, Shopbop and Piperlime. Check out a few of the pre-owned designer luxuries you can make your own below.

Splurge Vs. Steal

Let's face it, trends change everyday and while we may love it right now, will we adore it as much down for years to come to justify the splurge??? Well now you don't have to decide, with these dead ringers for the more expensive version you can get the look of the high end designs for much less. Can you tell the difference between the steal or the splurge??? If you can't, go ahead and treat yourself by picking up some new Spring fashions without the guilt or the depletion of your checking account!
