Hello Kittens!

Now, it has occurred to me that I am not particularly gifted in terms of wit, charm or wisdom. I wouldn't suppose that anyone might find me as fascinating as the next girl. However, one does get asked by friends and acquaintances on a regular basis for the sources and inspirations for my, shall we say…eclectic style. This is how my blog, Vintage Verve was born.

I am always drawn by the romance of yester-year, particularly the first half of the 20th Century. I love to search out treasures, with my favourite hunting ground generally being eBay and the fab little Op Shops found in and around Melbourne.

I find that when it comes to Vintage lovers, most fall into one of three camps: The Purist (who only wears or collects genuine vintage), The Enthusiast (who likes the style of vintage and wears reproductions) and The Fusionista (the blending of the two).

I believe I fall into the latter. I wear both genuine and reproduction vintage, but I love to incorporate individual pieces into modern everyday wear.

In in the multitude of same-ness fashion that we see in public and in our stores, vintage pieces (and outfits) lifts our clothes from the mundane everywhere to the creative and individuality that gives us true style.

How do you incorporate vintage into your wardrobe? Do you go all out and dress in a single era outfit or perhaps your passion is for a particular fashion item like shoes or handbags? Tell me all Kittens!
