Spanish Moss: online vintage fashion
Sorting through the racks at op and vintage shops can be tiring, right? Given time is money, and you and I have little of either, shopping for one-off vintage finds at Spanish Moss makes sense. With a few clicks you can connect with the beautifully curated collection of amazing ’80s jumpsuits, ’40s kimonos or ’70s caftans as well as their signature range of new clothes – American Gold.
The range available is fantastic – from special occasion pieces, with commensurate price-tags, to affordable gems. And if you thought things couldn’t get any easier – you can search by size, brand or clothing type and they ship anywhere in the world!

1985 Summer/Spring Argos Catalogue on Flickr
I must have seen hundreds of photo sets on Flickr, and even though this one doesn’t contain the original work, I’d struggle to find one that evokes such nostalgia. Many an hour was spent searching the Argos catalogue for the latest toys, walkmans, hi-fis and the like. Now we can do it all again. Read more

Cider is the new beer. Everyone knows this. But the problem is, just like beer, now the market is flooded with the full gamut of low and high quality drinks in a variety of appetising and not-so-appetising flavours. So how does the discerning cider drinker choose? One brand remains true to its roots — Henry of Harcourt, who produce traditional apple ciders and perry (pear cider) an hour north of Melbourne.

Pat and Stick’s Icecream Sandwiches
As the weather heats up, queues outside ice cream parlours and gelaterias grow as everyone’s minds turn from warming up to cooling down with their ice confectionary of choice. Strangely, given their tantalising combination of biscuit and icecream, the humble ice cream sandwich is an often overlooked option in the quest for the big cold delicious. Good friends Pat and Stick are bringing this forgotten treat of old back with their handmade gourmet icecream sandwiches, made fresh in Sydney. Read more

Um hello- every new store in the world manufacturers in China for $3 and resells for a profit. Forever21 all the way to high end brands like Anna Sui. It’s called business. I much rather pay a little more for a rare one of a kind piece myself…plus Spanish Moss is way cheaper than most of the brick and mortar vintage stores we have in LA and with wayyyy better stuff and I don’t have to pay for parking.

I pity the soul of anyone who doesn’t have a Value Village in their city.
& I don’t really have the option of buying clothes directly from sweatshops for 3$ a piece.
I still think that anyone who shops here & isn’t a millionaire is stupid.
If you think that this is the only way to get “rare one of a kind pieces”, then someone is lying to you. The people who run this site raid moderately priced second hand stores & claim all this crap is “rare & one of a kind”. If this is cheaper then I’d hate to see what’s expensive.
HAVE YOUR SAY
What would it take to ensnare a Williamsburg hipster? Not much, by the looks of it. Jeff Greenspan and Hunter Fine have set up a series of Hipster Traps in Manhattan and Brooklyn, with some sure-fire lures to entice even the most wary of tattooed baristas. The bait? A Holga 120N camera, some fluoro sunglasses, a yellow bicycle chain, a can of PBR, and a pack of American Spirits. Damn, I’m getting tempted myself. Read more

Who says the Swedes have got a monopoly on seasonal ice hotels? This one in Kemi, northern Finland, is the world’s largest snow castle, standing seventeen metres high and with walls that are 1,100 metres long. It has restaurants, an art gallery, a hotel and a chapel. In fact, since opening in the early 1990s, it’s been quite a hit for tourists to get married at the snow chapel. Hmmm, now that would be a frosty start to any marriage. Read more

TheStar69 track So What Is The News is the very personification of great pop. In fact, it takes bits and pieces of the best music the The Cult, Hall & Oates and The Steve Miller Band ever recorded and messes it up with a well-honed, Scottish sense of mischief. We like.
The Virtual Shoe Museum was initiated by Liza Snook in 2004. Once the idea was born, a long search began for designers, photographers and publishers connected to shoes. New friendships developed and their mailbox filled with loads of material on fantastic shoes, art and design on shoes. The Shoe featured above is the Electric Light Shoe by Strawberry Frog.

This is ridiculous. It’s all the shitty websites & trendy shops like this that ruin vintage shopping for everyone. Go & buy something for 5$ & sell it for 60$. I can’t believe anyone is actually dumb enough to waste their money on this. They’re selling a crappy fucking KISS t-shirt for like, 75$. I still manage to find cool shit at second hand stores, but these assholes really do eat up a lot of the nice things. This should be boycotted.
