BoxVintage on eBay
Exciting news! Brisbane's favourite vintage parlour, BoxVintage, is extending its sequinned, shoulder-padded wings to the world of online shopping. That's right - BoxVintage is now on eBay! While the store itself is - and will remain - always a fun place to visit (with its rack-upon-rack of vintage gold and wickedly-cool sales staff), sometimes time and reality just get in the way.
Annerley Op Shops
They say Annerley is the new West End (albeit a slightly sloppier and more suburban version). Sure, it does have that same community feel, bohemian vibes, and organically-minded cafes, but let's face it: Annerley's main claim to fame is its op shops. Four second-hand treasure havens exist within just steps of each other at the top of Annerley Road (well, five if you include the huge Antique Shop as well).

The last of the Brisbane Vintage Fashion Fairs until the end of November. I went to my first the other weekend and it was everything I'd hoped and more. If you're a vintage fashion fanatic, I warn you - prepare.

Paddington is a suburb as renowned for its vintage shopping as its cafes, bookshops and parades of SUVs. Sure, there's the usual clusters of op-shops and antique stores (still always worth a visit), but if you want to bypass the digging and head straight for the treasure then Retro Metro is your best bet.

Brisbane Vintage Fashion Fair
For many of us, op-shopping is one of life's simplest (and greatest) pleasures. Not only is your money going to a good cause, but also you can come home with box-loads of treasures without even breaking a note. You can find yourself that amazing vintage dress or tee that fits perfectly though accompanied by a one-digit price tag.
