Rumors Boutique - Buy/Sell/Trade Preloved Clothing

T magazine’s Spring accessory shoot features Tati Cotliar covered in flowers, fruits, veggies and designer jewelry. Photographed by Richard Burbridge.

I love these plastic lego bricks that have been placed in worn areas of buildings in Bocchignano, Italy, a village close to Rome by Jan Vormann.

Shot by Nyra Lang for Deutsch Magazine, Vanessa Cruz models almost all of our current favorite looks in one cohesive editorial spread.

Today started out with a Boom. One things that I love about working in Rumors is meeting awesome new people from around the world. These two lovely dudes are from Bristol and they are visiting America to shake things up in the Thrift world. The hottie on the far right is from Swansea Wales (one of my favorite countries) but has settled in Bristol and works in a Thrift store in Glaucester Road called Chic Sargeant. So if you are ever chilling in UK and you want to find some killer threads check out this shop.

CLIC Sargent support and fundraise for families and individuals across the nation) the fact that they are capitalising on the current trend for all things vintage will be key to it’s success. Along with Cotham Hill and Clifton Village, Gloucester Road is a hotspot for some of the city’s best charity shops and it is fantastic that CLIC Sargent have identified what savvy shoppers want from charity shops.

CLIC Sargent already have eight charity shops in Bristol but Shop on Gloucester Road is their first dedicated vintage clothing shop. The staff are young and stylish, though this isn’t a prerequisite for volunteering, and the stock is regularly updated, and promoted via their Facebook page. There are knitted jumpers, strings of acrylic beads and furniture too, as well as handmade goods by local Bristol craft makers, all at reasonable prices.

If Shop proves to be a success CLIC Sargent may well roll dedicated vintage stores out across the country so make sure you check it out next time you take a wander along Gloucester Road.

COME OUT AND GET BLOWNNNNN AWAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

MAY 25 STRANGE MATTER 929 WEST GRACE STREET RICHMOND VIRGINIA

Dressed up in 1960s-inspired, full-skirted cocktail dresses, the wardrobe is something straight out of Mad Men, but the final touches—macabre skeleton jewelry and leather harnesses—are more Tim Burton-esque.

Wrestling is a strange beast. I completely thought wrestling as a kid was the end all and that the cast of over-the-top characters were my friends. I would catch the shows every week, the cartoon every weekend and had the oversized Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage dolls. I would use them to rain fire on my sister’s Barbie crew and it was sweet. Looking back, how awesome was it to be a happy kid and have these bad-asses as your idols. Many days were spent picking fights and wrestling till someone cried “uncle” or just started crying. Maybe that isn’t PC now but back before the interweb it was just part of being a boy.

Then you grow up and the world isn’t so black and white. You find out wrestling is mostly fake theatrics and that your heroes are paper-thin scripted actors. Talk bout jading you a bit and making a teenager cynical.

I just found out that the Macho Man has passed due to a car wreck. Admittedly, I harbored some love for the guy and genuinely hate that he passed. My cynicism has small cracks. I still kept up with his career, not in a big way but I would still pull for him. Even listened to the album, which was horribly funny but not on purpose.

I am guessing for many in our readership this probably doesn’t matter much. That’s cool. But to the people that grew up watching Macho Man and felt his impact on popular culture, give a minute to watch these videos and laugh again with the craziest muthafucker to ever be on TV. The guy had issues and you never knew how anything was going to play out when he was around. DYNAMITE T-N-T !! Randy Savage and Mean Gene were a comedic version of Howard Cosell and Muhammad Ali.

Anyway, RIP Macho Man, you lived up to the name and there will never be another like you.

FRIDAY NIGHT IS GOING TO BE NUTZZZZZ> YOU KNOW HOW WE ROLL!!! THE PARTY WILL BE SOLD OUT ABOUT 10 minutes after it starts so don’t be late. You might not get in. 

beaded jewelry, hand crafted earrings fair traded from Africa, Rich fabrics that carry culture and strength 

Somewhere lost thinking about string theory, geometric space age gladiator sandals and a metallic dresses. 

crop tops with high waisted matching skirts. Disrupt the pattern with tons of mismatched jewelry

The Goddess Josephine. You can wear furs in the spring in EUROPE. I love the all white. Purity in Cotton and abstract belts

Well you can’t wear the parachute pants without the mile high heels. I love grabbing mixed prints and combining them. You will surely be noticed for your style. 

I don’t know if it gets better than that. It seems I need to add candy to my shoes to steal this look.
