Gotta Love Vintage

Really excited to be taking on this new project, can’t wait to share some of my favorite findings and give you guys the best of my love.

I recently ran across this awesome vintage t-shirt company called, MATE Vintage, and not only are they the coolest, comfiest, and affordable vintage t-shirt company in LA, for every vintage tee they sell a brand new cotton tee is donated to a youth in need! Or as MATE likes to put it “In with the old, out with the new”.

Im obsessing over this sky blue t-shirt they have that says Dallas on it! The great thing about a vintage t-shirt is that you can rock the hell out of it DAY and NIGHT. You can dress up a vintage t-shirt to go out in, or wear it running around during the day, heck you can even sleep in it.

I’ve spent a lot of time in Vintage stores and believe me, its not easy finding a great vintage piece. These girls take all the greatest things and put them in one place!! Who run the world? Yes, I said girls, the company was started by two best friends Kayti O’Connel and Kelsey Tudor. If you don’t want to do all the leg work, and want some adorable vintage t-shirts to add to your collection check them out!!

best of my love… dakota

  10. Donating tee-shirts to kids in need is a thoughtful gesture. Bless you for thinking of others.

    :::rolls eyes::: No we are not best friends but Shayne calls her that so I assumed Dak was just what most call her. For example, my name is Jacquelyn but most people call me Jackie. Just figured that’s what she normally goes by. It weirds me out when people call me Jacquelyn. I only hear that when I’m in trouble lol.
