I found this one vintage store that seemed like a gem though I didn't buy anything: Nana's on Kensington. But seeing as it's pretty much the only place I managed to find in the market, for all I know it could be the worst of them all.<BR/><BR/>I would definitely love to go with you when I visit next. My next visit will be so much fun!!<BR/><BR/>I found a really nice faux-fur coat at the salvation army last week (and by really nice I mean the silk lining was in <I>perfect</I> rose gold coloured condition) for $30 but it was a knee-length and I don't know, I felt like I'm not petite enough to pull off the knee length fur so I'm looking for something blazer-length and I think I would love to find a real fur piece. After seeing that one SongofStyle was wearing (that I posted) I just fell in love.....Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12880385720195215219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2601370595864120972.post-32629002289534756862009-02-18T22:32:00.000-05:002009-02-18T22:32:00.000-05:00thanks for the compliments ladies, looks like i'll...thanks for the compliments ladies, looks like i'll put this kind of look together again! as for your questions, yes they sent me some items for free. i was completely surprised and overwhelmed by their response. included was, the grey hoodie i'm wearing, that i talked about in my christmas list, which is why they contacted me, apparently they read the blogs :). as well as, a burnout pocket tee which is in the link on this post and a black jersey scarf. more then i could ask for. i love the company, the are not related to american apparel. you should check out their website because their stuff is made out of nicer fabrics and is similarly priced. not that i don't love american apparel too ;) you just can get something from alternative that is less common with more attention to detail. the hoodie is not the one worn in twilight but it is the one is was wanting for xmas. the twilight hoodie is yet to be discovered, i'm hoping it is mentioned in the director's behind the scenes book which is suppose to discuss wardrobe.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08267555656018820570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2601370595864120972.post-59104313458550070922009-02-18T19:16:00.000-05:002009-02-18T19:16:00.000-05:00love all your plaids :)) what do you mean by a 'ca...love all your plaids :)) <BR/>what do you mean by a 'care package'? <BR/>they gave you freebies? :OOOO <BR/><BR/>by the way, Alternative is so similar to american apparel!Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11446061957537162092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2601370595864120972.post-8889981983584863832009-02-18T15:17:00.000-05:002009-02-18T15:17:00.000-05:00cute outfit!

That vest with the colour of that plaid top look really great on you.<BR/><BR/>Alternative Apparel's Orange label is all desireable and the other pieces you highlight here are like a much nicer american apparel!
