The Lazy Girl's Guide To Vintage Shopping

Hiking round back streets, rummaging through thriftstores, exhaustion from elbowing fellow fashionistas away from rough diamonds in the dust... Some people treat vintage shopping like it's Sports Day, we say treat yourself instead!

It's time to kick off your high heels, chillax and take some lessons from the lazy girl on how to bag the best thrifty finds. Try these four fabulous online boutiques from around the world, as recommended by our friends at N.E.E.T. Mag , because life's too short for all that sweating, panting and rummaging

ADORE VINTAGE

From The Sunshine State of Florida, AdoreVintage.com is run by Rodellee Marie. The site features a wide range of vintage clothing and accessories plus a forum for fashion inspiration and advice - and there's gorgeously shot editorials, the most recent entitled 'Belle Epoque', inspired by Art Nouveau antique lace and gilded jewelry.
Look for: Cute clutches, patterned blouses.

MINT AND VINTAGE
Sweden's Mint and Vintage combines vintage with independent designers in one supercute webshop. If you're ever in the Land of the Midnight Sun, check out their retail stores in Helsingborg and Stockholm, but for the lazy shopper, get over to their soon-to-be released new site (with international currencies and a full English version).
Look for: 1970s tan boots, print neckscarves, patchwork handbags.

TASTY VINTAGE
For a proper piece of history head to Tasty Vintage, run from the home of Harriet, a self-confessed "relentless magpie", in Lincoln, UK.

Look for: Fifties floral dresses and one-of-a-kind LBDs.

MAMA STONE VINTAGE
California's Mama Stone Vintage mixes Charlie's Angels-style pussybow blouses and plaid jackets with 80s leather and leopard print ruffles - selling only on eBay, their über-popularity can command high prices so get bidding!
