Why, hi there! Today on Wendy’s Gem’s we have a pretty feature. This is the story of Amber, owner of Ety’s Vintage Vanity. Enjoy!

For hundreds of years, the human race has been obsessed with color. Some say that certain colors have a weight; some say they evoke memories of long time past.

Earrings, bracelets, necklaces…they’re all equally exciting. But whatever happened to the brooch? It may sound a bit old fashioned, but don’t let that distract you from their awesomeness.

Konnichiwa, my friends. Today on Wendy’s Gems I’m giving you all things Tokyo-inspired. That means Harajuku, Shinjuku, Geishas, Sushi, Kokeshi and Maneki Neko galore. Perhaps this post is motivated by my recent trip to Japan. Or maybe I just want to hop on board the “I Love Tokyo” Train. Either way, know that I love [...]
You have to admire those women with an eye for clothing that has vintage appeal. After all, there’s a big difference between that dowdy brown smock and an uber-chic 80s ensemble. Give a round of applause for these vintage dresses, eh?
