Pick of the Week

This week's pick features these cozy handmade moccasin boots and black quilted Chanel bag lookalike. These two would look amazing with a chunky sweater/scarf combo to help you battle the cooler days ahead. Not to mention, they are just too cute to pass up!

Merry Thriftmas!

From now through the Holidays, all the Hill-Valley Girls will be posting their gift picks-from personal wish list to thoughful ideas for their loved ones!

HVB Thriftmas starts off with Lisa! She is all about the "date gifts" and "experience gifts" you know, instead of buying me a record, take me to the show:)

The things that would make me oh so happy this winter...

2. A PONY!!! Collectible Vintage Toy Pony $12

 

 

3. Girls night in with my best palz! Vintage Twister $12 

 

 

Ideas for my one and only's!

Autumn Arrives

We're Back!

After a long blog timeout, we have decided to bring it back! So crazy to think we have been open for a year and a half! I can't wait to share all the things we have been working so hard on and all the big plans we have for Fall and the Holidays! Stay tuned, more posts, parties and vintage goodies are just around the corner!

Here's a quick look at some of the behind the scenes candids of the Fall 2012 photo shoot...

Watch for the green skirt in the lookbook or come in and see for yourself, vintage YSL, it's gorgeous!

This is actually our backyard, yep, rough life we live..

Thanks to Tristan for being a good sport and adding male model to his resume!

Love Me Tender

It is so crazy to be coming up on one year open!!! Posting here on the blog has become a little few and far between, but fear not! We are busy bees over here at H-V-B! We are working on a new website due to be active very soon! Until then, look here and on our facebook page for specials, sales and loads of pictures. We are also looking forward to our next event which will take place in St. Paul at the March occasional Junk Love sale! More info on that very soon! Here are some of my fav pics from our Valentine's party last weekend. Check out http://www.facebook.com/Hill.ValleyBoutique for all the pictures! Thanks to Jessica Fjerstad for all the great pics, to all the Hill-Valley Girls for pulling together a fun party and to all our friends that came out to dance, kiss and shop!!!

Ooh La La

In the spirit of Valentine's Day, I have been pouring over pictures, thrifting and hunting online like crazy looking for some of these lingerie looks from decades past. I am partial to the baby dolls of the sixties and again in the nineties and also the tap panties that were popular in the thirties and forties. The eighties are another story all together, good lord-that 10 year span is in a league of it's own. The lace and gloves and veils remind me of bad dance line costumes.
