Sunglasses
With all that sunshine you’re bound to have a sunny disposition! Sunglasses are a great vintage option during this time of year. Like any other accessory it’s easy to switch up your whole look with one selection. Not sure what shapes complement your face? Or how to take care of a retro find? Check out our helpful post for all the answers to these questions and more.
Add some color
While this is easy to achieve via textiles and bejeweled accessories, don’t forget about “Spring cleaning” your home. (And I’m not talking about tackling those pesky dust bunnies!) Find some retro fabrics to make a new throw pillow or get that painting you’ve been eyeing. Don’t be afraid to embrace color in all aspects of your style as we march into Spring.

Try new makeup ideas
Makeup is a fun way to personalize your everyday look. There’s plenty of retro inspiration out there, so grab a few friends and have a makeup night. Try out that signature Brigitte Bardot look to get started in the right direction!
Accent with flowers and prints
I know, I know – Coachella is calling. But all festival references aside, a nice floral brooch or a pair of earrings are great ways to pay tribute to nature’s bounty during this season. And prints are another way to incorporate florals and whimsy into your daily routine.
