Ever since I was a little kid I've had an obsession with vintage clothing. Vintage skirts, high waisted jeans, jumpsuits - I love it all! Whenever I break out my favorite retro finds I always get the same questions - how do you know which pieces are worth purchasing and how do you integrate those finds into your existing wardrobe? Read on for my tips + tricks and get details on the grand opening of Peaches Vintage Collective this Saturday! All the pieces in this post are from Peaches Vintage Collective and, trust me, by the end you'll be wishing you were already there shopping!

I had the chance to meet Tara, owner of Peaches Vintage Collective, while attending Strawberry Swing's Spring Swing a few weeks ago! Tara is one of those people who instantly knows how to work your best features. Less than a minute into our conversation she'd gathered up a stack of clothes for me to try on. I was shocked that nearly everything in the stack of clothes she picked for me fit and ended up buying two pairs of cutoffs and the cutest polka-dot top! I think it was at that point that we knew a collab was in our future.

I hate when I pick out a room color and end up not loving it. This happened a couple of years ago when we decided to paint out bedroom a super dark green. I didn't mind the color, but I wanted it to be a more black-green as opposed to the jewel-toned green instead. Like I said, it wasn't bad but it wasn't we'd been hoping for. After two years of living with the color, I decided to go the absolute opposite direction courtesy of a gallon of primer and two gallons of Behr's Ultra Pure White paint. Poor Corey.

Before and after!

It's one of the most wonderful times of the year! No, not Christmas. The Victoria's Secret Semi-Annual Sale! I scored some incredible deals in store (six sports bras and two body sprays for $76) but there are lots of amazing deals online too! I've rounded up some of my favorite picks below. Oh, and right now VS is offering free shipping on orders over $50 with the code "SHIP50"!

Did you score any awesome deals during the sale? I'd love to hear about them in the comments!

Shopping, savings, sips, and snacks - this is what you'll enjoy next Thursday evening when you join me for the Legends Outlets Passport to Style event from 4:00 - 7:00 pm!
