How to Clean & Dry Clean Vintage Clothing, Lace, Crochet, and Sweaters


You can find some really unique vintage clothing that will require some extra love. I've written up this guide based off my own experience over the past year in cleaning clothing. I will cover how to hand wash a variety of fabrics, when to dry clean, and taking care of antique/delicate fabric.

Fashion's Night Out Grand Rapids Event! One Girl's Treasure, Urban Exchange, freebies, and sales found!

I attended Fashion's Night out in Grand Rapids. It had a modest number of shops that were participating, but friendly atmosphere, free treats, and sales made for an awesome night.

I started out with my favorite resale boutique in Grand Rapids, One Girl's Treasure on Lyons St. and the owner had chocolate covered strawberries, cheesecake puffs, and champagne for shoppers. Live music played in the background, and overall was my favorite store to visit for this event.

My roommate Michelle, picked up a super cute vintage printed shirt.


We continued on and took to trolly from lee & birch to Urban Exchange on Fulton St. which had some amazing 50% percent off sales a good number of items. They had cupcakes and white wine. I had the raspberry cream cupcake which was delicious.


I picked up a long free people blouse from urban exchange for half off!


Afterwards I went and visited some friends. It was an awesome night. Next year I'd like to see how Fashion's Night Out is in a bigger city like Chicago.

Mondays & Wednesday are the longest days for me. I have studio classes from 8:30 am to 9:30 pm, so I want to be comfortable. Today I put together an all brown casual boystyle look. Mind my hair and makeup, it's been a long day.
