On the Radar: Good as Gold Pt. 2

This fabulous color continues to present itself to us. Just a few days ago, we bought a great mustard hat and some groovy floral curtains with golden fringe. Those are soon to be listed, but while you wait, here is what Etsy has to offer for that perfect touch of yellow in your home:

The Blackbird girls are suckers for ice buckets, so we had to pull one for this post. Oh, and did I mention that we also collect vintage fondue pots and typewriters? I'm drooling for that Olivetti!

For a classier, less overtly vintage splash of color, try a cool print or delicate piece of blown glass:

Normally, I don't go for painting perfectly good mid-century credenzas, but this one is perfectly wonderful. I love the yellow and gray--one of my favorite color combinations--and check out the fabulous coordinating knob that I found in another shop!

On the Radar: Good as Gold Pt. 1

There are trend-setters in this world, and there are trend-followers, and it doesn't matter which category you belong to as long as you do the trend justice. And vintage is always a great way to fall in line with the herd while still maintaining your originality. I mean, how many other people in your circle are going to have the same dress, or necklace, or belt? So, as we see these trends pop up in magazines, malls, and boutiques, we also see the same conversation happening in the vintage world. For the past few months, this beautiful golden yellow has been popping up everywhere, and our savvy Etsy compatriots have made their own contribution. And while we normally incorporate modern iterations of trends in our On the Radar blogs, we've decided to highlight nothing but vintage this time around. Like this AMAZING dress:

Sometimes, all you need is a little spot of color to stand out in a crowd, like this funky patterned scarf:

 And jewelry is always a girl's best friend!

There's nothing better than versatility, especially when it looks good. Check out this reversible bracelet:

May your world be filled with sunshine and great yellow vintage!
