Spring cleaning playlist

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">With the weather being like it has in the past week here in Winnipeg, we've spent a lot of time inside cleaning    and purging! It feels so nice to get rid of stuff and make room for new things! We made a little playlist of some of our favorite songs to get you guys in the cleaning mood!

What's in our bags?

<div style="text-align: center;">Recently, our friends over at <b><a href="http://iconemesis.co.uk/artworks" target="_blank">Iconemesis</a></b> were kind enough to let us each pick a new iPhone case from their shop to add to our spring wardrobes! (<i>Yes</i>, we count our iPhones as accessories because they are <i>always </i>by our sides!) There were so many cute cases to choose from that we had a hard time just choosing just one!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Our new phone cases arrived in the mail last week and we instantly fell in love! They look even better in person! We were so excited that we decided to share them with you and do another <i>"What's in our Bags?" </i>post.

60's hair inspiration.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This week we have hair on our minds! Stef bravely chopped off a good foot of her locks last week and next week i'm going to chop mine as well! Summer is the perfect time for a change! Naturally we were drawn to the 60's for hair inspiration. The first half of the 60's were known for the flip, bouffants and beehives, and pixie cuts and later on it shifted to longer straight hair with classic middle parts! These are some of our favorite looks!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AAJC-qoR5ZQ/T7-SZxDJueI/AAAAAAAAF50/5DWjLixFfjw/s1600/colleen_corby_1960s.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-AAJC-qoR5ZQ/T7-SZxDJueI/AAAAAAAAF50/5DWjLixFfjw/s1600/colleen_corby_1960s.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Susan Van Wyck and the iconic flip! </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4m7f9EtnoQY/T7-SaBcNGKI/AAAAAAAAF58/hm8kUxVlJwQ/s1600/mad_men_megan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4m7f9EtnoQY/T7-SaBcNGKI/AAAAAAAAF58/hm8kUxVlJwQ/s1600/mad_men_megan.jpg" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Megan Draper looking fabulous as usual!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RuFJ04JVYn4/T8EsTy8-EMI/AAAAAAAAF7Q/w7JPU6d24zM/s1600/brigitte_bardot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RuFJ04JVYn4/T8EsTy8-EMI/AAAAAAAAF7Q/w7JPU6d24zM/s1600/brigitte_bardot.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Brigitte Bardot had some of the most iconic hairstyles to this day!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S8L-CpdJ2lI/T8E_J8CveII/AAAAAAAAF7s/aikVwkZ4dIM/s1600/vintage_60's_hair_flip.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-S8L-CpdJ2lI/T8E_J8CveII/AAAAAAAAF7s/aikVwkZ4dIM/s1600/vintage_60's_hair_flip.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/France_Gall">France Gall</a> looks picture perfect!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.cnn.com/2012/05/09/showbiz/vidal-sassoon-obit/index.html"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ilJnMe1qKSw/T8JWsZhmlUI/AAAAAAAAF8I/dNLVDyMkguQ/s1600/mary_quant.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.cnn.com/2012/05/09/showbiz/vidal-sassoon-obit/index.html">Mary Quant getting styled by the late Vidal Sassoon</a> in the sixties.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pcFuTgHr8WM/T8JYbtRUgmI/AAAAAAAAF8Q/qUSFzax272w/s1600/twiggy_pixie_cut.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pcFuTgHr8WM/T8JYbtRUgmI/AAAAAAAAF8Q/qUSFzax272w/s1600/twiggy_pixie_cut.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Twiggy and her perfect pixie cut.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uK77whvPaYA/T8JaGftCK3I/AAAAAAAAF8Y/huSK-KbV5I8/s1600/getting_her_hair_done_in_the_sixties.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uK77whvPaYA/T8JaGftCK3I/AAAAAAAAF8Y/huSK-KbV5I8/s1600/getting_her_hair_done_in_the_sixties.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Getting all dolled up, back in the day!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Happy Sunday!</div></div>

We just thought that we would check-in and give you a little update on how things have been going at our vintage boutique. It's hard to believe that it's already been six months since we first opened our doors! Seriously, it's been half a year already? Wow, time sure does fly when you're having fun! We were really lucky to have an unseasonably warm winter this year, which resulted in quite a bit more foot traffic than we had originally anticipated, and now that the snow has melted we have been busier than ever! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We also recently received two very exciting press mentions that we wanted to share with you: First, a local newspaper called <b><a href="http://www.uptownmag.com/news-and-views/features/The-Best-of-Winnipeg-2012-153218105.html" target="_blank">Uptown Magazine</a></b> took a poll and we were voted #2 for <i>'Winnipeg's Best Vintage Shop'</i> and we were also voted #2 for <i>'Best New Shop in Winnipeg'!</i> Forever 21 beat us for best new shop, but really, being second to Forever 21 is still a<i> huge</i> compliment!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Secondly, we recently did an interview for a Swedish newspaper called <b><a href="http://www.svd.se/" target="_blank">Svenska Dagbladet</a></b> which we were told is Sweden's version of the New York Times! What an honor! The interview was primarily about our mobile shop and will hit news stands next Saturday. We can't wait to get our hands on a copy!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Speaking of <b><a href="http://ohsolovelyvintage.blogspot.ca/search/label/olive" target="_blank">our mobile shop</a></b>, we have our first event of the year booked! We will be participating in the Canada Day festival again this year and that takes place on June 30 & July 1st in Osborne Village in Winnipeg. So, if you live nearby feel free to come by and say hello!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Alright, that's all for now lovelies, we hope you have a fantastic weekend!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">XO,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Stef & Erin</div>

Thrift Store Hunting in Walnut Creek, CA

This week I was happy to have my best friend and soul sister, Kat, visiting me from San Diego.  We traveled down the freeway to Walnut Creek to find upscale and downscale thrift and consignment shops and we were not disappointed.  Our first stop was <i>Labels</i> (1367 N. Main Street, Walnut Creek, CA), an upscale consignment store that has beautiful clothes, purses and shoes for everyone's budget.  Kat found a pair of velvet Manolo Blahniks heels for $150.  This may seen steep to some, but considering that the same shoes would cost $700-$900 at a department store, it was a HUGE deal.  They were in perfect condition and she was very happy to get them.  I also found many shoes that I wished had fit me that were under $50 and by many well-known designers, but unfortunately I went home empty handed.  <i>Labels</i> also had bins of shoes and purses for $20 and lots of sale items that were 50% off.<br /><br />Our next stop was an old favorite of mine - <i>Main Street Rags </i>(1380 N. Main Street, Walnut Creek, CA), which is across the street from <i>Labels</i>.  <i>Main Street Rags </i>is a consignment store that has a variety of contemporary clothes for work and evening wear.  It also has a shoe department that is not too extensive and purses.   I used to shop here for office clothes, but I have also bought Betsy Johnson dresses here for about 75% of the retail cost and in perfect condition.  It is worth checking it out if you're ever in Walnut Creek.  Nothing in the store is over $100, so clothes here are definitely affordable.<br /><br /><i>Rainbow's End</i> (1389-E N. Main Street, Walnut Creek, CA), described as an "upscale thrift shop" is another store to check out.  Proceeds from this store go to a non-profit nursing facility on Castro Street in San Francisco.  It not only is a great charity, but is also filled with clothes, art and even a grand piano - all at rock bottom prices.  Kat bought a Kenneth Cole purse for $7 and it was 75% off.  I scored a Gucci glasses case for $2.50.  There were many more items that I captured in the photos below.<br /><br />Finally, we visited the <i>Discovery Shop</i> (1538 Locust Street, Walnut Creek, CA), which also has a variety of contemporary clothes at thrift shop prices.  They will be having a Vintage/Retro event on July 21st.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
