vintage finds for a modern world: black is the new black.
oversized sunglasses, via apricot baby baby.
i guess it’s pretty clear by now, i’ve got an obsession with black going on. i don’t think i’m the only one though, i’m seeing tons of black accents in all kinds of decor everywhere i look. i went looking for some modern, vintage finds on etsy, and tried to keep it pretty affordable, too! here’s to black!

ohhh can I have those sunglasses? I promise I’ll take care of them! haha…fabulous finds! xo
I adore those sunglasses. I do love black. I always try to move past it and fill my closet with more color, but why fight a classic?
Seriously. My husband and I just painted an accent wall in our bedroom black and now I’m kind of addicted to turning a lot of things in our apartment black. How does that happen as Summer is just starting?
I want one of everything here.
especial love the black sunglasses toooooooo much cute ;d
GAH! Those are like the Chanel shades I’ve been jonesing for since I saw the movie Brothers Bloom!!!
haha, black is the new black, i had to laugh out loud by seeing just your title at the right of my blog! oh and that butterfly chair, sometimes i even forget it’s on my wishlist, but you reminded me!
I was at Crate & Barrel this past Sunday and saw a dark wood ampersand bookend like the black one above. I thought it was really cute, but none of the displays had price stickers on them, so I don’t know how much they are there. I think they make a great statement on a bookshelf or mantle. :)
That wee umbrella is precious, oh my!!
Love the ampersand! I have been looking for something like that for one of my living room walls. So bummed it’s sold out.
oh i looooove this post. especially as i have black paint under my finger nails at the moment from my painting my bedroom! fab collection.
black and white is my favorite. from my wardrobe to my dog to my blog… all black and white. c’est très chic, n’est-ce pas?
“black is the new black”
oh, thank goodness!
i swear i could just have black & white *everything* in my house.
love the ampersand.
