It’s quite exciting to buy pieces from an authentic vintage shop. The thrill of finding that perfect coat and getting a bargain out of it is one of the best feelings in the world for the ultimate fashionista!

Searching through a treasure-trove of hidden fashion finds may be a daunting task for some, but we’re sure that with enough patience and determination, you’d be able to find that perfect vintage accessory or clothing! While there aren’t really rules to follow when you go on your first thrift shop experience, there are a couple of things that you need to keep in mind, so that you’ll be able to enjoy each minute of searching through rows and aisles of vintage goods.

  1. Time is important – Remember, thrift shops aren’t like your department stores where everything is organized and orderly. You may have to literally dig your way into finding that dress or top, or use ladders to reach that piece of jewelry hiding on top of the shelf. It’s best that you have a lot of time on your hands so you will not miss anything in the thrift shop that may be worthy of your money.
  2. Use your networks – Finding a thrift shop worth your effort and time is hard to come by these days, so make sure that you ask references from friends who share your taste for fashion. By doing so, you’d be able to save a lot of time and energy, and not be disappointed at the end of the day.
  3. Check the material. – If you know your fabrics well, you’d be particular about the material of each shirt or dress. To save time, look over the racks of garments, disregard the clothes whose material doesn’t really interest you at all, then go for the remaining ones with styles and designs that catch your eye.
  4. Bring a thrift shop buddy. – They’ll keep you sane, trust us. Plus your buddy will be the best judge in helping you decide on whether or not you’re making the right choice of spending $6 on that tutu.
  5. Polish your bargaining skills. -  This may be the most important reminder of them all. Vintage and thrift shops are abundant with deals, and with proper timing and execution, you can bargain your way into buying that lovely vintage military jacket for only $10. It takes skill and practice, but it’s always worth it!

Remember, vintage shops are a whole lot of fun! We hope that these tips may help. Til next time!

madonna Truth or Dare by Madonna

Ever wonder what the Material Girl is up to these days?

It seems that music icon Madonna has stepped up her game by creating her own fashion line intimately called “Truth or Dare”.  Truth or Dare by Madonna is an entire fashion collection that includes handbags, perfumes, footwear, accessories, and intimates.

With Madonna’s recent success with “Material Girl”, a fashion line that targeted the youth—she came up with a brilliant idea to cater to women 27 to 50 years of age. Women armed with class and a profound understanding of timeless fashion complete Madonna’s vision of turning her dream of creating her own brand into reality. Furthermore, Truth or Dare by Madonna aims to showcase the modern woman—powerful, stylish, feminine.

To kickstart Madonna’s Truth or Dare brand, her first ever fragrance line will launch on March 2012. Promotions are currently underway, with Fabien Baron leading the Truth or Dare fragrance’s  ad campaign.

When asked about Madonna’s personal vision and inspiration when it came to the thought and creative process of behind creating the fragrance, she was quoted saying:

““I have always been obsessed by fragrance and for years wanted to create something personal that was an expression of me, but that other people could relate to as well. Something classical and timeless and yet modern. My oldest memory of my mother is her perfume. I carry it with me everywhere… Something honest and yet daring — hence the name Truth or Dare.”

Expect the coming years to be a big for Madonna. With the launch of her fragrance line, a new album in the works, and the full launch of her brand Truth or Dare in 2013, we are only sure that Madonna has nowhere to go but up. We’re proud of what Madonna has become, and it’s great to see her empowering people from all across the globe, regardless of race, class, and gender—almost effortlessly. She truly is an icon worthy of all praise and respect. Well done, Madonna, we can’t wait for Truth or Dare!
