Let’s go thrifting in LA!

As the editor of a vintage mag you get to meet lot’s of lovely people (yeah, it’s a hard life!), and last week I caught up with Rachael, owner of online vintage shop ‘It’s Vintage Darling’. We had a great time chatting away about our favourite vintage decades and her amazing stock of vintage goodies, but best of all Rachael has let me in on where to go thrift shopping in LA!

Tell us a bit about yourself!
Rachael: I graduated with a degree in Fashion Studies in 2005. When I started researching my own vintage-inspired handbag collection I found so many vintage handbags that I loved.

From there it took me about six months to get the website together and launch ‘It’s Vintage Darling’. Initially I only sold bags but now I’m stocking pretty much everything! I just love vintage and the whole vintage look.

So do you wear vintage every day?
Rachael:Definitely! I usually mix vintage and high street. To go out in the evening I always wear vintage though. There’s nothing worse than turning
up at a party only to find another girl wearing the same dress as you.
During the day I am really into stretchy 80s dresses.

I remember my first ever vintage buy when I was sixteen. It was a pair of yellow stilettos from Topshop Dolly Rockers Vintage.  I wore them until they fell apart!
