with fall just around the corner and armed with the “back to school” shopping excuse, (no, i’m not actually going back to school.  shhh.) i’ve been trolling the interweb for fantastic, low-cost, (read: steals) vintage finds.

there are quite a few.  (who would have guessed?!)

i thought that maybe, because i’m a nice person under certain circumstances, i might share some of these finds.  (scoring sweet-ass vintage goodies is NOT one of the above-mentioned “circumstances” that i tend to be nice in.  consider yourself lucky.)

ramonawest is kind of my girl-crush at the moment.  

i’ve been lurking on her blog for the past week (or 12…) now, every once in a while piping up with some awkward little comment like, “hi!” in hopes that she might think i’m cool too.  (“hi” being the key word to cool-dom.)  

her blog is fantastic though, full of adorable pictures of drool-worthy clothes, and cute little updates about her shop.  also, that fantastic header she has going on there?  apparently she drew that.  (i learned that from reading her blog.  you can actually learn a lot from reading, as it turns out.)

anyway, as if you needed more of a reason to check out her etsy, i’ll give you some visuals as well:

can i say “i told you so,” now?  

please?
