fall is here

Here's a preview of what's coming soon to the Etsy shop! Fall is finally here, so that means lots of sweaters, jackets, and coats. New items will be added later this weekend as well as next week.

Have a happy weekend!

colors and prints

Some fun vintage clothing has just been added to Ninja Vintage, with more coming soon. I'm loving the color scheme that's going on in the shop right now. Check it out here!

hidden fortunes

This vintage wrap sweater from the Etsy shop had these fortunes hidden in the pockets. I wonder if they proved to be true for whoever owned this sweater 30+ years ago...

summer etsy update

Added some new clothing to the Etsy shop last week. I'll gradually be adding more until the shop is brimming with all kinds of vintage goodies for summer! Keep checking back, as I'll be doing small updates every few days.

better late than never

Working on that long-delayed Etsy shop update. Soon soon soon!

shop sale!

I'm finally moved into my new home, though there's still so much to be done before I can really get settled in. The cable was just installed on Tuesday. Half of my things are still in boxes. Life is a little bit hectic right now, but I'm doing my best to get organized so that I can start working on an Etsy update. I'm hoping to have a lot of new items up by the end of the month. Until then, everything that's currently in the shop is 25% off.

shop update

A few new items have just been added to Ninja Vintage. Someone please buy the heart skirt before I decide to keep it for myself. Seriously. It's awesome. I still have a couple more things to put up in the shop this week, so keep checking back!

I love vintage

Another Ninja Vintage shop update coming this Wednesday. So much good stuff!

art in the streets

Busy week! 10 new items are up in the shop. I'm still working on the rest. Sometimes I underestimate how much time I need to get certain things done. I have the tendency to forget that my meticulous nature means that it takes me twice as long to get stuff done, which can be both a good thing and a bad thing (in this case, kind of a bad thing).

The photos above are from the "Art in the Streets" exhibit at the The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA. The exhibit chronicles the entire history of street art, from the mass production of spray paint in the 1960s (I loved the wall of vintage spray paint cans) to Shepard Fairey's Obama "HOPE" poster in 2008 and the release of  Exit Through the Gift Shop in 2010. So many fun and inspiring things to see. Next Monday is the last day of the exhibit, so I'm glad I got to see it just before it ended.

I recently decided to join Pinterest and, as I feared, I've become a little bit obsessed. Pinterest is a site where you can save and share images from all over the web and organize them into different categories, or "boards." The items above are from my "orange" board. I also have boards for red, yellow, green, blue, stripes, and neutrals. Yeah, I told you I was obsessed.

You can check out more of my orange finds here and see the rest of my boards here. If you'd like an invite to join Pinterest, feel free to email me and I'll send one your way.

happy skirtday

A few vintage skirts have just been added to the Etsy shop! Just a small update today. Now I'm off to get ready for my birthday dinner. I'm turning the big 2-6 today. Yikes! See you next week!

flower power

Here's a little preview photo of this week's Etsy shop update. I'm in love with this 1960s mini dress! Today I decided to break out my trusty mannequin and doll her up in some Ninja Vintage fashions. I'll be updating a few shop listings with new photos later today.

sneak preview

I just got back from yet another lovely trip to Seattle. The weekend was filled with food, fun, more food, and absolutely perfect weather. Luckily, I was able to squeeze in a bit of vintage treasure hunting on my last day in the city. The Gunne Sax dress above is my favorite find. Look out for an Etsy shop update later in the week.

rainbow

Hello! A few colorful skirts were added to the Etsy shop this weekend, and I'll be adding another (amazing) skirt tomorrow, along with couple of other things. I'm really loving bright, colorful skirts for summertime. I'm also loving the longer and fuller skirt styles that I've been seeing around lately. They're so elegant and easy to wear.

On Thursday I'll be heading to Seattle for the Fourth of July weekend. Very excited! I go to Seattle every year, but this will be my first time being there for July 4th. I'll be back next week, hopefully with some vintage goodies in tow to add to the shop.

Also, I just started a Twitter account for Ninja Vintage. If you want to stay up-to-date on the latest shop updates, sales, and promotions, follow @ninjavintage on Twitter.

See you next week!

After a very long hiatus, Ninja Vintage is officially back on Etsy! There are only a handful of items up for sale at the moment, but I'll be adding more things in the coming weeks.

shop update

Pretty new dresses up in the shop.

kittens!

So, the kittens have pretty much taken over. I don't really mind. The little one has had a few name changes since the last time I posted about him. Right now it's a toss-up between Charlie (as in Bucket) and Nibbler (as in Leela's pet from Futurama). Nibbler is a very appropriate name, since this little dude loves chewing on anything and everything, both edible and non. I was eating a bowl of cereal the other day and he literally tried to climb into the bowl while it was in my hands. The only thing is, I've always given actual names to my pets, not pet names. So that's why I'm leaning toward Charlie. Maybe Nibbler can be his alias, in case he decides he wants to join the mob or be a paid assassin when he grows up.

Anyway, I've been sick for the past week. Being sick + 90-degree weather = not cool. Not cool at all. But I'm on my way to recovery. Hopefully this bug will be gone by tomorrow.

I'll be adding some things to the shop in the next few days. A pair of boots are already up. I know that the shop's been pretty bare lately. A lot has been going on since summer started (the new kitten, lots of family activities, and an impending move - just to name a few). There might be some new and exciting changes coming up soon, but I'll post about it when the time comes.

shop update!

Ninja Vintage update tonight! A few tops and a pair of shoes are now available. The rest should be up tomorrow. Click here to visit the shop!

dressing up

I didn't have much to do today, so I decided to play dress-up with one of my favorite items from Ninja Vintage, the Zipper Dress (I ate lunch right before taking these photos, so please excuse the post-meal pudge). I experimented with a few different outfits, but these are the ones I liked the best. In the first outfit, I wore the dress over a vintage slip and added a grey cardigan. In the second outfit, I wore a black cotton tee underneath and changed the silhouette with a vintage wool pencil skirt and my trusty faux patent belt. Of course, there are many other ways to wear this dress. I'm certainly not the most innovative of dressers, so I can't even imagine how great this might look in the hands of someone far more creative/stylish than I.

I also wore the dress with this awesome coat from my shop (and oh, hey, you can kind of see my face - oops.). Someone needs to buy this soon, because it doesn't fit me and it's too good to go unworn and unloved. Every day it hangs there, taunting me with its adorableness.

And while we're on the subject of Ninja Vintage, I just added a sassy little Betsey Johnson dress to the shop today. More things should be up within the next week or so.
