Unique treasures - Retro crunch

Unique Treasures is a feature that showcases unique hidden gems and celebrates all things hand-made. It's where I'll try to bring you everything from the most beautiful vintage clothes to hand-crafted accessories and custom-made dresses from places like Etsy and eBay.



While the credit crunch continues to bite, it's becoming more and more desirable to invest in good quality handmade items, and vintage clothes, which give you a unique look and don't break the bank either. With this look I was going for retro, but fresh student look, the perfect weekend antidote for serious weekday work clobber.
