Top This, Topshop!



For girls who walk into Topshop for inspiration more than purchasing purposes, I have got good news for you! Here's a true vintage floral print dress that somehow manages to look even edgier than its Topshop counterpart thanks to its unique black straps. Too good to be true, no?

De-lec-ta-ble

Aren't they just? The combination of colours and the prints are just so lemon-twisty-fresh that I almost wanna turn to them and say "good one!" (winks and clicks tongue, points two index fingers at them).

Please buy them and remove them from my sight!

A vintage blouse that is NOT oversized. Tailored to fit with a refreshing colour mix of checkers and the cherry on top of the cake - a sweet little bow! Wear it prim and proper with high waisted shorts or rock it out with black cigarette pants.

I bag to differ...

Laptop bags are pretty much boring, and the standard black ones are not only horrid but also gives away the "Hey I'm carrying a laptop, why don't you come steal it from me later" vibe.

But hey, here's an alternative for you vintage lovers! With its masculine and strong character, this looks like the perfect vintage carry for your beloved laptop. Now all you need is that preppy get up with vests, argyles, and oxford shoes... small price to pay for rocking out this vintage gem!

I'm Ole School

Loving these two vintage blouses. Definitely not too OTT but nevertheless unique in a way only vintage clothes can be. Subtle but effective detailing and a shocking colour coupled with a great cut. What else can a girl ask for?

Lace, Lace, Baby

Have been spotting lots of lace appearing on the runways lately. Which makes sense as these are somber times but sexy times too (ok, I made that rationale up but the runway thing is true, think Prada). So we at Thriftbook have decided to bring you a more affordable batch.

Tuck in and wear with bandage miniskirt for an updated look.

The Temptation



Oh darn it. I'm at it again. I told myself I'm off online shopping for a few weeks. So far, the time has been chugging quite painlessly along. UNTIL I SAW THIS!!!!

Ok, the only reason I'm reviewing this is so that you girls can go snap it up quick so that temptation will be removed from my sight!
