My friend Alysha loves shopping and sustainability, and while I saw all the L.A. fashion I thought to myself of all the interesting vintage finds that looked as good or better than what was in the stores right now. I love Etsy.com for their great handmade finds, but they also have really neat Vintage sellers, as well.  I wanted to take a moment to show some of their finds that are very fashion forward.

Mod Caramel Drop Waist Coat- I love this coat, you may have to resew on that one button that is a bit droopy, but I have had brand new coats that I had to resew on a button for, no big deal.  It would fit but would not leave a ton of room, if I had the extra money to spend I would buy it for someone I really liked, like my friend, she would look awesome in it.

I saw an uglier version of this gorgeous Royal Blue Jacket in a store in L.A.  This version is 80′s cool, not 80′s bad… you know you like it.

This is a great belt.  I have one similar one in brown that I love.  This one has a pretty small waist, but would be wonderful to cinch a great white shirt.

I love this VintageBlue Dress.  It would be so cute for a holiday party with a skinny silver belt and some nice rhinestone or diamond jewelry.

And this one would double as beautiful work wear.  Now I think Dorthy Draper would really like this.

This Yellow Dress is a little summery, but sooo Michelle Obama.  Really classy, and to make it a bit more FLOTUS you could pair it with a cream or white cardigan.

A casual belted dress that would be so comfortable!  Love it for summer when I want to throw on a dress and start the day or have an interesting beach cover up.

So I am not allowed to have any more White Sweaters as my collection is quite large, but if I could this might make the list.

And this dress has an amazing print.  It is so cute, really nice attention to detail.  I have a friend that had an online handle of SunshineandBeauty and this dress is sunshine and beauty.

And to top it off, a Neat Print Dress that is sooo J. Crew or Tory Burch, for a fraction of the cost.  My sister in law would love these colors.  She could share it too…

And can’t find or afford those fantastic electric blue pumps in the stores, well check these Pumps out, they are rocking.

So don’t worry you can be eco-friendly, fashion forward and save some money.  That’s a win-win-win.  And if you make an Etsy Account you can create a favorites list and export it (great for X-mas).

She was tasked with a sustainable Christmas too, I might have some ideas coming her way soon…
