So happy for my friend Lauren Lail. Her vintage wears shop, Library: Archives of Fashion, was just named one of Coastal Living’s Best Online Boutiques! And rightfully so. Her shop features looks sourced from vintage shows and shops around the US and beyond. Wanna see some of my current favorites?
And I’m kicking myself a little that I missed this Gianfranco jacket.
Lauren has a showroom based out of her historic downtown Charleston home (fitting), but luckily she keeps her website up to date for out of town shoppers. So if you get weak in the knees over rare, storied pieces be sure to check often because she regularly gets in “new” items.
By a show of hands, ahem comments, who would like to see a Q&A a la Lauren with some tips on vintage shopping?? I bet I can twist her arm ;)

I would love a Q&A! Going to the NY Vintage show this weekend and always get overwhelmed! Tips would help for sure.
