I found this very cool vintage wicker bag at Beacon’s Closet a few weekends ago. Will be perfect for the many picnics this summer will hold.

I broke it in at the Japanese cherry blossom festival this weekend. I think this will definitely be a fave.

Yesterday was such a gorgeous day. I slept in and sipped coffee while reading almost the entire paper. Then, I got dressed and went for a walk, it was just too sunny not to!

I always try to choose new streets I haven’t walked before, just to discover new things. This time, I found a little vintage shop with a great selection of stuff. Three things got to come with me home. I’m very happy about them all, but more on that later…

Dessa fina klackar hittade jag på second hand (Beacon’s Closet) i helgen, för $24.95. Märket är Kathryn Amberleigh och de sitter som ett smäck! Tack du fina person med lika stora fötter som jag som tröttnade på dessa. Jag kommer ge dem ett bra hem.

I found these pretty heels at Beacon’s Closet this weekend, for $24.95. The brand is Kathryn Amberleigh and they fit like a glove! Thank you pretty person with feet as big as mine who grew tired of these. I will make them proud of their new home.

Hejdå rosa DvF jacka från 80-talet, hejdå Adidas provkollektionsbyxor i galen färgkombination, hejdå tusen andra saker… Har rensat garderoberna ännu mer, med järnhand. Oerhört svårt för mig eftersom jag hatar att göra mig av med saker. Men, det var det eller leva med lådor överallt, så dessa kassar kommer idag lämnas in till Beacon’s Closet i hopp om att de vill köpa det mesta och ge mig pengar att shoppa nya gamla kläder för. Håll tummarna!

Bye bye pink DvF 80s jacket, bye bye crazy colored Adidas sample collection pants, bye bye thousand other things… I’ve cleared out my closets even more, with a firm hand. Very difficult for me since I hate to get rid of anything. But, it was that or living with boxes everywhere, so… these boxes will today be left at Beacon’s Closet in hopes that they will want to buy most of it and give me money to buy new old clothes for. Keep your fingers crossed!

Beacon’s Closet är min absoluta favoritaffär i NYC, det är vintage, väl utvalt och framförallt billigt. Ett måste att besöka om man är i New York. Den största ligger i Williamsburg och det finns även en mindre i Park Slope. De säljer även utt urval online. Beacon’s köper också, så man kan lämna av en påse kläder, gå runt och kika och sen hämta en check som man kan betala för sina fynd med. Det känns ju liksom gratis! De betalar 35% av säljpriset om man vill ha cash och 55% om man vill ha store credit (och det vill man).

Beacon’s also buys, so you can drop off a bag of clothes, do the shopping rounds and then pick up a check to pay for your finds with. It’s like it’s free! They will pay you 35% of the sale price if you want cash and 55% if you want store credit (and you do).

Last weekend I went vintage shopping at Beacon’s Closet. I showed the nice Helmut Lang denim jacket I scored, and more will come soon. But this is what didn’t get to come home with me. Girl Scout dress (a bit too Halloween-y), pink romper (too small), suede fringe jacket (too big and heavy), leather skirt from Barneys och a nice floral summer dress from Reiss (both too small). Some lucky person will bring these goodies home I’m sure!
