Its so beautiful <3

This was a really tough choice, but I think my absolute favorite item has to be the Vintage 1960s Taupe Safari Duster Shirt Dress. The 1980s Cutout Sheath Dress is a close second…what an amazing shop!
loove the Vintage Grosgrain Navy Blue and White Pillbox Hat with a Bow…

It's all so lovely, but I'd have to go for the 'Vintage Grosgrain Navy Blue and White Pillbox Hat with a Bow', it's so adorable, and would look great with a nautical style playsuit!

The Sea Blue Sailor Jacket stood out to me. It reminds me of reading Paddington Bear as a kid. A cute little rain jacket in such a bright color and with toggles — how whimsical!

That jump suit is pretty fascinating.

Love the Vintage 60s Ivory with Neon Pink Flowers Mini Dress! Cute shop!
I'm a sucker for anything classic and conservative, which is why the plaid pleated skirt caught my eye. In a world where people wear sweat pants in public, dressing conservatively has become provocative. That blouse is also a perfect compliment to the tones.
ooo i LOVE this romper!!
