Cool Vintage Finds - Pumpin' 80s

Most people remember the eighties for some of the horrendous fashion trends that arose during the period. However, it wasn't a complete disaster of an era as there were some interesting trends that managed to actually still look rather cool.

One such trend in my opinion is geometric colour block pumps. I'm all about unique, interesting and funky accessories and these shoes easily fit the bill. What's also great is that I found these ones on Etsy all for US$30 and under!

Now I know these aren't for everyone, so for those of you out there like me, hope you like these shoes as much as I do!

Cool Vintage Find - Playing with colour blocks

I realize I've been posting a lot of colourful stuff lately but I love how wearing bright colours can instantly lift my mood and make me feel more energetic and playful. Put them on a cute dress and I'm bound to be bouncing and skipping all over the place...on the inside.

This 70s colour block sundress is so fun and funky that it puts a smile on my face just looking at it. Also, you won't be able to resist the urge to give the wide skirt it a little twirl although half of the urge may be due to the fact that it costs under US$30.
