Best Vintage Shops in Brooklyn: 10ft Single by Stella Dallas

Located just a few blocks from the ever-popular Bedford Ave, 10 ft Single is the place to shop for vintage clothing in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Similar to it's East Village sister store, Stella Dallas, 10ft single's walls, ceilings, and floors are packed with glorious vintage pieces for both men and women. Their extremely extensive collection has landed 10ft Single on Brooklyn's best vintage lists since it opened five years ago. If you are a vintage junkie, it would be a disservice not to visit this ultra-hip gem located right in the heart of Williamsburg. 

10 ft Single's collection represents every era imaginable. One can find a full collection of 80s band t-shirts, a rack of WW2 military jackets, and a room full of vintage dresses from the 20s to today. Easily organized by color, era, and size, 10ft Single is surprisingly easy to navigate. Often it is difficult to find what you need at a thrift store but here, it is certainly not the case. Need a floor-length fur from the 20s? Allow a super-trendy employee to lead you to the fur room of course! 
10 ft Single is divided into two main rooms. The first room is dedicated to hats, boots, jewelry, and the bulk of the women's vintage dress collection. In the rear, one can find the "American Vintage Room." 
If you are looking for Levis denim, broken-in boots, American varsity jackets, vintage hunting gear, old cable-knit sweaters, or US military garments, you will never leave the American Vintage Room at 
10 ft Single. Classic, vintage American is an aesthetic Williamsburg locals wonderfully embody on the streets of Brooklyn. The location of this shop couldn't be more appropriate.  

Next time you are in the neighborhood, make sure to stop by 10 ft Single on North 6th and Metropolitan Ave. We promise you will enjoy what they have in store. 

Because we're obsessed.

Little House on the Prairie: Take Two

m- Billie and I had such a blast styling Sabrina and Savannah the other day. The past couple of months, I've been hunting high and low, across backwoods America, for cool vintage pieces. When you venture off the highway and deep into the frontier, you find some interesting finds. We live in America, ya'll and there is no better evidence of our roots in our dress in the past. We obviously wanted to coincide with our farm surroundings with the outfits today and dressed the girls appropriately. 
So take a gander, y'all. 



Bam, bam, thank you ma'am. This hat and Sabrina were made for each other. Sabrina is rocking everything from the closet of Billie Jolene and I love the way Billie styled this look. The necklace under the blue collar did it for me. The hat was everything. 

We jumped back in Courtney's sister, Michelle's jeep and took further into the farm. 



Both of these insanely intricate shirts are from Lucky Strike Vintage in Raleigh, NC. Lucky Strike constantly brings in phenomenal pieces...this has been detrimental to my bank account....but worth it. Both Sabrina and Savannah's shirts don an animal on the chest. 
Roosters and velvet Cowboys. Details of denim, horseshoes, and lassos. Yee-haw. 
Billie had these vintage skirts at home and they couldn't be more perfect for what we had going on today. THESE SKIRTS. So amazing. And fer sale. 

This shirt, too, is from Lucky Strike Vintage. I found all three of these at separate times and I now will be starting a collection. They make me so happy. I mean an eagle, rooster and a cowboy? Yeah ok. 

So thats, it folks. A great day on the farm with my southern gals. God bless America. 

Because we're obsessed.

Denim and Gingham- Fashion Farm Take One


m- Billie and I ventured out to the farmland to channel our inner-little house on the prairie the other afternoon. It was glorious, to say the least. Today, Billie and I styled our stunning blonde-bombshells- Savannah and Sabrina. This is perfection on a platter ladies and gentlemen. 
Try not to get lost in their eyes. 
Or do... let's take a look. 

Savannah. 
Sabrina. 


This is just take one. We piled the bombshells in the jeep and ventured further into the mud.

Because we're obsessed.
