The Moptop

YOU GUYS! TODAY IS THE DAY! MOPTOP VINTAGE IS OFFICIALLY OPEN FOR BUSINESS!!

If you have been following for a few years now, you might remember my vintage store from back in the day. But then I started college and I just didn’t have extra time to put into the shop. There’s nothing I love more than looking for vintage clothes! Seriously though, there is this thrill into finding cool pieces with a past and being able to style them with current pieces. And also being able to have something that no one else probably does! So I am really excited to get back into that passion of mine and to share it with you all again!

Please give me any sort of feedback! What’s your favorite piece? What would you like to see more of in the future? How are my prices? I priced things depending on condition of the piece as well as rarity. Also, I am trying to focus on being low waste and eco conscious with shipping so all of the packaging will be recyclable and without tissue paper. On occasion, if I happen to have extra tissue paper to use, then it will be included. So please recycle any packaging if you order. AND make sure to tag me and include #moptopvintage if you buy and wear anything! I would love to see how you style the pieces!

Alright, well I hope you all love the shop as much as I do!! <3 HAPPY SHOPPING!!!

HEAD OVER TO MY SHOP HERE! 

I am so excited to share this blog post with you for a number of reasons! First off, Acne Studios is now available to shop at Farfetch! Have you checked out Farfetch yet? It’s a website that has a ton of incredible brands you can shop in one place. I love being able to shop on places like that because I can easily look at multiple options, pair them together and then ship them all together! Sometimes it’s a lot easier to shop on these sites as well because the shipping costs are cheaper. But anyways, make sure to check out their site! Especially if you’re an Acne Studios fan as well.

Second, I am ecstatic to share these photos with you all! Don’t they look like they’re straight out of a dream or fairy tale?! I know it’s a lot more photos than I usually post but it was hard for me to edit down to just a few. SO HERE IS A BUNCH! haha These photos were shot by Emma Jane Kepley, a photographer I have been following on Instagram for years now and been admiring her work for just as long. She just recently moved to Portland so we finally were able to take some photos and she DID NOT disappoint. I love being able to get out of my comfort zone and trust the photographers vision. It usually turns into a work of art. And these photos are just that!

I hope you all enjoy! Also, I just want to say, I know I talk a lot about investment pieces as I think they’re so important! Getting a piece from one of your favorite designers from that season is such a great way to treat yourself. I know that budgets don’t always allow for that, but pairing designer with vintage and thrifted pieces are perfect! These trousers/suit set is a vintage set I got while thrifting in Reno. Anyways, just want to encourage the balance of pairing high and low pieces together! <3

The more I think about it, the more I am realizing how much I love Spring styles. Pastels and neutral colors start to break out of the darker winter shades. Finally, I can pair my denim with dainty blouses without the layer of a coat and hopefully start to wear dresses again!

There are so many brands that have caught my eye for upcoming Spring styles so I thought I would share a few with you! I do love neutral tones but I am loving all of the colors that are showing this spring! Lots of bright and vibrant colors that I think will be so fun to wear.

(Starting from the top left corner and going clockwise)

1. SEA – One of my favorite brands since I first discovered them in a Steven Alan in Portland a couple years ago. I always love the interesting silhouettes and fabrics they use. This top is such a fun color and I have been seeing so much green everywhere, which makes me so happy because it’s my favorite color!
2. Clare V. – They never cease to amaze me with their bags every spring. They’re a little different than your typical basket and woven bags which is why I love them so much. This style has such a vintage vibe to it as well and would be the perfect accessory to those floral and patterned dresses.
3.  FAITHFULL THE BRAND – This has been a go to brand of mine for Spring and Summer styles for a couple of years now. They’re collections are always so beautiful and make me want to travel somewhere warm.
4. Tibi – How cute are these sandals?! They’re at the very top of my wishlist and I think they would pair so cute with the pale yellow jeans also feature on this list. A good pair of sandals are always a must for me when the warmer weather hits!
5. Apiece Apart – This. Dress. Is. So. Good. I love the print, the colors, the smocking. All together the makings of a dreamy spring dress. Paired with sandals or sneakers, such a great easy outfit.
6. Khaite – I hadn’t heard of this brand before but these jeans really caught my eye! The color is such a great twist from the usual white denim that is popular for spring, but it’s subtle enough that it would be great with tees and lace blouses.

Well there you have it, 6 brands that are on my Spring wishlist! What one is your favorite? And what brands do you have your eye on for Spring? Let me know!!
