Etsy Update

Running an Etsy shop is very much a part-time thing for me - I wish I had more time to put into it, traveling around rummaging through op-shops and thrift stores is my dream! However, a full-time university course gets in the way, plus a part-time writing job...sigh* Anyhow, here are some new items I have added to my store. The best bit? They're all under $25! Bargain :)

Blog Love - Doris Anne: Feathers & Things

I stumble upon a lot of wonderful blogs every now and then, but I have to admit, I've absolutely fallen in love with Doris Anne: Feathers & Things! This lovely blog is run by the super stylish and sweet Kala Noel, an extremely talented young woman who can sing, dance, make awesome jewellery and thrift shop like a professional! Not only does her blog provide me with inspiration to continue working hard towards my own Etsy shop, but she has also become a bit of a style icon to me. I recommend you check out her blog, I'm sure you will be equally as inspired and in awe :)

Snapshots

I've absolutely adored looking at Instagram posts from many of my favourite bloggers, so decided to try it myself. Hopefully I will continue doing Instagram posts frequently from now on! Let me know what you think :)

Tea and Tulips Boutique

I recently came across this beautiful vintage boutique called Tea and Tulips, and instantly fell in love with it. The one-of-a-kind, delicate vintage items look picture perfect - I would happily love to buy them all! The shop is run by Stefanie, an incredibly talented fashionista based in Miami, and she also has a lovely blog called Steffy's Pros and Cons which I strongly suggest you check out!

Blog Love: Unknown Pleasures

Today I happily stumbled upon a wonderful little blog find - Unknown Pleasures. Ally Carey, a model and fellow Australian, runs the blog and describes it as "a narrative of my musings and observations on the Fashion Industry." I also happily discovered that Ally is the owner of Who Killed Bambi, an online boutique which specialises in customised vintage and awesome new clothing. If you're like me and you love your vintage, then I strongly recommend you check out the site here. I know I'll be adding it to my favourites :)

New Vintage Items Under $20!

Many of you lovely readers probably already know this, but for those of you who don't, I have my own little vintage Etsy shop called PeacePendant Vintage. Yesterday I added and updated the items above, all of which are under $20! If you would like to check out my shop, please feel free to visit it here. I've started to update it more frequently so hopefully you will find something you absolutely love! 

Blog Love: Foxtail + Fern

I've been following this blog for a while now, and looking at these lovely photos above, I'm sure you can see why. Foxtail + Fern allows us to enter into a world of antique objects, vintage and thrifted clothing and gorgeous, scenic locations showing nature at its best. Being described as "a fashion and lifestyle blog with a modern take on vintage clothing", I highly recommend you explore this wonderful blog further. You can even check out the Foxtail + Fern Tumblr, as well as Flickr and Polyvore - I guarantee you'll be so inspired that you'll even feel like going out and exploring nature in your most favourite, vintage clothes. (I know I do!)

Lookbook: Littledoe's Wedding Collection

 Littledoe's whimsical wedding lookbook features Theodora Richards, the daughter of Rolling Stones legend Keith Richards, as well as a lot of dreamy accessories and outfits. The location is absolutely breathtaking, like an isolated vineyard in the early hours of the morning when a soft fog has settled in the near distance. The lacy, cream parasol and the tiny sprinkling of daisies in her hair makes this one of the most perfect shoots I have had the pleasure of viewing in quite some time - wedding inspiration at its best!

Pretty Journal Love!

There is nothing better than beautiful words with beautiful pictures to match. These notebooks from Typo have taken out the top spots on my wishlist, not only are they all extremely affordable (less than $12AUD), but their aesthetic value is out-of-this-world! To see more of the collection you can head to this website. With frequent sales on stationary, you may even find yourself a bargain (or two...or three...)

Etsy: Rouge Pony

Have you ever stumbled upon such whimsy and beauty?! Rouge Pony is an Etsy Seller from Britain who makes handmade pretties for your hair such as flower garlands and Indian chief-like crowns. The photography is absolutely amazing, as you can see, and makes you want to adorn your own lovely locks with nature's gifts and go wandering through a forest. You can view the entire collection (including prices and shipping information) here.

Vintage Pastel Blouses

Since I've been struck down these last two days with a case of food poisoning (not very pleasant, I know) I have been trawling through Etsy to try and cure my boredom and cheer me up a little. I have a bit of an obsession with vintage pastel blouses, all the better if they have collars as well! Above are a few of my favourite finds and below I've provided the links in case one tickles your fancy and you wish to purchase it.

Peacependant Vintage Lookbook

I've been a bit of a busy bee today taking photos for my new Etsy shop. I had lots of fun trying on all the different vintage clothes I've collected to sell and mixing and matching them with one another. All I need to do now though is to take proper photos of each item to upload that show the item from the front and back etc. I didn't realise there would be this much work involved! Over the next few days I will also be visiting places to try and find more unique and lovely vintage clothes to sell. Thank you all for your kind patience :) I've been looking forward to this project for a very long time so am trying to make it as perfect as possible!
