Fashion! Freebies! Contests! Sweet Deals and a "get out of trouble free" card... what more could you want on a Wednesday?
First the fashion. Adore Vintage is great site that combines a detailed look book along with a store that specializes in helping you achieve that vintage look. Personally, I usually think "vintage" stuff is ugly. This site, however does it right and to date is my favorite vintage fashion site.
Cool Contests Thanks to Coutorture

Ebay's All-Stars
So, I'm not a big ebay shopper, but Agathe Bjørnsdatter of StyleBytes has put together a great list of some of her favorite ebay sellers... Definitely worth a look!

This site will e-mail or call you in the future. You may be asking why you would need such a thing. I suppose a lot e-mail programs will do this for you already-- not like I would know anything about using that to get myself out of trouble 4 or 5 times-- but I thought I'd share just in case. The calling program calls and speaks whatever you type in the message in a creepy automated voice. I'm sure you can think of many creative uses for this... or not (honestly I haven't thought of anything good but if I do I'll be sure to share).
I'll be "trend spotting" on the Cape for the next couple days... until tomorrow!
