YOOX.com has curated a collection of vibrant, pristine vintage

Unique Vintage--they range in price from $65 to $200 and most of the options are flattering to array of figures. I'm especially into this
flirty '50s look (just $68!)

bug spray to bed, I'm considering a
glamorous mosquito net for my bed.

-First
Michael, now Marilyn: A selection of Ms. Monroe's clothes and personal effects will be auctioned next month in L.A. Which begs the question: Is it morbid to buy items of the dead? I know I'd be interested in MM's umbrella (left), but not so much

- This week blogger
Molly Cake introduced me to a fun little Etsy store called
Instant Vintage. I'm especially loving this snake bracelet ($16!).
- Last, I'm going to kick off the weekend by sharing with you perhaps my favorite blog of all time.
No Good For Me is an awesomely good site that talks aboutA
many things I love: puppies, freakyA retro-style-icons and, of course, vintage clothes. They currently have a fab roundup of stuff from an eBay store called Noir Ohio Vintage. These women are unstoppable.A
The entire world cannot stop talking about Scottish singing sensation Susan Boyle's potential makeover...I, for one, was kind of feeling her vintage-esque Wednesday outfit, a combo of a floral print dress, heels and leather jacket.
This is cool news: In an effort to be more earth-friendly, Barneys New York collected unused jeans and had them re-purposed by top designers like Stella McCartney, Derek Lam, and Rodarte.

OMG. It's happening this weekend! Finally! The Grey Gardens movie starring Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange debuts on HBO tomorrow night. Check out the behind-the-scenes story on the film's iconic costume designs—I seriously cannot wait for its vintage goodness.
Also, I found a new store to go completely insane over: Have you checked out Adore Vintage? If not, you're missing out. It sells vintage and vintage-inspired jewelry, bags, clothes, and shoes, and they're all pretty great. Right now, I am enchanted by this Diane Fres dress. Pricey, yeah, but so beautiful.
Lucky favorite shop Lullie Vintage just launched a cool new blog, Everything Style. This week, the writers are loving artist Julie Verhoeven, and trust us, you will too.
On a final, completely random note, one can't help but glean inspiration from the gorgeous website Copenhagen Cycle Chic, which features—you guessed it—incredibly stylish folks on bikes.
