this week, we’re back with our regularly scheduled giveaways to offer you the opportunity to win a $45 store credit to clever nettle vintage. this beautiful shop is run by the lovely anja louise out of portland, oregon, where she travels by bike scouring the land for vintage treasures. i have been a huge fan of her shop and blog for a long time now, so i’m especially happy that she is a sponsor this month and is offering you a chance to win some cool vintage duds.
see something you like? clever nettle would also like to offer you a 15% discount to the shop through september 7! just enter the code “calivintage” in the note to seller at checkout to be refunded after purchase.
and we’ve got a fun twist this time! anja has uploaded a bunch of her shop inventory into this collection on polyvore and we’d love to see how you would style up some of her beautiful vintage pieces for fall.
to enter:
create a polyvore collage representing your fall inspiration using any item(s) from the clever nettle collection and post the url to your collage in the comments section below! we’ll select two winners on september 3rd to win a $45 store credit to clever nettle vintage!

i love that backpack up above the leggings on the first big picture… i didn't see it in the inventory. i've been looking for a bag like that everywhere (for my laptop) but they're so expensive.. do you know where i can find one?

My favourites are almost always her skirts, so I basically made a set with the skirts I would love to own, and a whole lot of approximations of things I already own.

I decided to go with the bright reds that are so big for fall, mixing bold, fun, vintage-y prints and bringing in some turquoise and blue accessories to play off of the colors in the skirt. Plus, those loafer heels are ah-mazing.

The last one, Day to Night, was the one I had most fun building. I took the same dress and transformed it from day wear to evening wear.
I like to keep outfits plain (with few accessories) because I think it gives each piece more significance, but that's just my style.

I created a look inspired by a fun printed skirt and incorporated menswear pieces for some masculine/feminine contrast. I call it "Safari Picknick".
