We recently shared some online specialty vintage stores with you, but we also wanted to hear about your favorites. Check out some of the great sites our readers turned us on to!
I'm partial to Kitty Girl Vintage
. They have mainly 50s through 70s but it's always well edited. Lili Ann and bigger name designers pop up all the time.
And for fantasy (or if you were getting married and wanted to wear a vintage gown) go to The Frock
- always well curated and priced accordingly.

I am the blog editor for The Budget Casa and there are a couple sites I frequently go to when looking for a vintage piece or look. First off, Ilove Kanibal Home
.Reestore
is a little different. They take vintage items and repurpose them into fabulous designs for the home.
Of course, absolutely nothing beats a garage sale or a thrift store.

A spin-off of the popular FashionFollower.com web zine, 28 Crash!
specializes in superstar vintage clothes with a special focus on styles inspired by rock 'n' roll and pop culture icons. Always with a fashion-forward edge while paying homage to the past, garments are often modified to fit the modern figure making these vintage goodies surprisingly wearable.
Secondhand purses are given a new lease on life with a few whimsical strokes of the paintbrush while adorable appliqués are crafted from remnant fabrics leftover from other redesign projects. What could be more eco-friendly than that?
