I'm interrupting my Smart Art series with a very important news bulletin: I visited some of my vintage pal retailers on Mount Pleasant Rd. in Toronto today, and I have all sorts of great updates for all you deal divas out there: great seasonal deals at the best designer vintage consignment shop in Toronto, Act Two at 596 Mt. Pleasant Rd. (you just have to go so no phone nos), where selected vintage fur coats on the deal rack are $20! Owner Inga knows her stuff - she consigns locally but also buys ultra special vintage pieces from France when she can .... the labels are true Euro designer and and the prices are more than decent.
North on Mt. Pleasant at my absolute fave vintage accessory store, The Bead Goes On (256 Soudan Ave), owner Cindy has amassed a hoard of swanky vintage purses and jewellery - the ultra cool thing is she's got items like vintage croc bags for a few hundred bucks and the odd Hermes scarf for under $200, but then you can find the neat fashiony items like I did for under $70.The boho-chic carpet-tapestry 70s (?) clutch with short chain, above, was $45, and the costume jewellery ring that looks like a cross between a mood ring and a white opal was only $15 - it has something engraved on the inner band but I can't read it .... must invest in a magnifying glass for bauble scoping ....
