This is one of several vintage dress rails in Lost and Found Vintage, Toronto, where it was almost impossible to retrieve the clothes as they were so tightly packed but look at the glorious colours.

VINTAGE CLOTHING IN TORONTO

Vintage clothing is very popular in Canada and America and this shop in Toronto, aptly named Lost and Found Vintage, is one of many. I love the way they use chains to hang the clothes from and if you think the window is a little overcrowded you should see inside the shop.

CHARM BRACELET

Whilst clearing out a cupboard yesterday I came across this pretty silver charm bracelet that I had as a teenager. There are over 20 charms on the bracelet and most of them were given to me for birthdays, Christmas etc by friends and family. My favourites were the little church with the opening door revealing a kneeling bride and groom and the tiny pair of slippers. I can remember not being allowed to wear it when I was an office junior as it made a jangling noise on my typewriter keyboard.

With hindsight perhaps the mirror wasn't the best place to photograph this fantastic purple party dress but I just had to do it straight away so you didn't waste a moment in seeing it. As you can see it has very unusal sleeves and looks amazing. Come in and try it on before accepting any more invitations!

CARNEGIE DRESS

This beautiful Carnegia dress in stunning red and black came in to the shop yesterday and is a great contribution to the store. It has a divine black velvet bow at the neckline with black buttons on the front. It is a size 8 to 10 and will be a wow at any Christmas event.

A striped cheesecloth shirt and an Eric Clapton record was all a man needed to get a girl in the 70s.

Capes are very much in fashion this season and this one in Vintage Vision is a prime example. It has striking metal buttons and is made of wool and therefore very warm.
