Fresh Picks: Softer Side

Boho style is taking a decidedly feminine turn this season, with cooler colors and ruffles everywhere, but retro prints and embroidered fabrics still lead the trend. Make your own beguiling fashion statement with these true vintage finds, that give a softer edge to this casual, comfortable look.

Welcome New Members: Lady Lux Vintage, Vintage Biffann and Vintage in Bloom

Lady Lux Vintage (Etsy id ldylux) is the shop of best friends Nancy and Bri of Houston, and offers vintage clothing and accessories with a midcentury focus. If you love vintage as a wardrobe staple, you will delight in the wide array of vintage day dresses! I especially like this maroon plaid 50s dress with pleated skirt and sweet key detail on its belt.

Vintage Biffann is all about the finishing touches that make a house a home--vintage and antique china, silver and glass, plus paintings, pottery and ceramics and so much more. This fine porcelain baby shoe by Herend would make a stunning, heartfelt gift for a mom-to-be. In fact, I recommend this Massachusetts shop for Mother's Day, weddings or any gift occasion.

Vintage in Bloom offers "baubles, treasures and pretty little things." The eclectic fare of Amy from Connecticut includes lovely porcelain and glass, tiny toys and even vintage supplies for artisans. But her specialty is vintage and antique jewelry. I was immediately drawn to this gorgeous brooch with its intricate hand painted porcelain center.

We're thrilled to include these fine shops in the Etsy Vintage Team. Welcome!
