We have been doing a lot of traveling lately, which in turn means a lot of buying of vintage items. If you see a blue vintage 80s Diesel Mercedes that smells of tempura, then you are probably behind us (it smells of tempura because it runs off of our restaurants used oil saving us on gas bills). Last weekend we attached our mountain bikes to the back and the top our car, 2-20 gallon containers of oil were stored in our trunk and one bag of clothes each as well as an empty roof bag for any vintage treasures we might find along the way.
We made an excursion to Eastern Oregon, into the Wild West of our state. Inspiration was all around us in the form of High desert and gorgeous western waterfalls and mountains. I really notice how different regions influence my buying experience. From colors of the High Desert in all it's brown, tans, taupes and sage greens to Falls dressed in whites, deep blues, and pine greens. The styles that eminate from this landscape tend to be, rustic, campy and influenced by westernwear and ethnic indian flavors.
The garments I picked up also reflected these feelings :
-cowboy ankle boots which are a great twist on traditional cowboy boots
-suede moccasins in great ankle boot styles
-CHAMBRAY CHAMBRAY CHAMBRAY- shirts, dresses, jackets,--anything chambray
-prairie dresses in autumn colors

I checked out BAYLY and found such a variety...very pretty necklaces.
