Business Cats

listen to: business cats by mika miko

vintage sequin jacket: thrifted, ON SALE SOON!
shoes: vintage, little boys dress shoes
shirt: (not visible but a cat graphic) h&m
skirt: charlotte ronson
headband: thrifted (though it was actually meant for home decor, not a head, hah)



So I've been doing a lot of shopping for new vintage items and going through my closet because within the next couple of weeks I will be opening a vintage shop online. I probably will only be able to manage doing it through summer (until september) since school takes up so much time, but I figure it would be a good way to ease up some of the closet clutter as well as make some money so I can make it to NY for an internship this coming fall.

My main problem right now is coming up with a name! I am totally stuck! Everything I can think of already has a shop on ebay or etsy (though mine will not be tied to either, still wouldn't do that!) So I'm asking for suggestions when it comes to names! If you suggest a name that I decide to pick (or use a variation of), then I'll give you $25 credit to the shop when it's open as well as a little feature on this blog!

I'm partial to names that are "adjective noun vintage" or "noun & noun vintage" or maybe just dropping the word vintage all together? ahhh. just so braindead! All I know is that I don't want my name to be in the title. Any suggestions you have would be wonderful!

I'll show you guys a preview of some of the other things I have to sell in the shop in another post this week!

Definitely going to sell this jacket but it will probably be one of the pricier things I list since it's in really good condition still, we'll see though. Plenty to do in terms of setting the site up online before I get there!


xoxo,
Rockie

Gracie said...

Ooo how exciting! I bet you have loads of vintage to sell 

Hmmm... ideas. I’m opening an etsy shop and I’m going to call it ‘Goosie gander’ but that was easy because my sister used to call me that. So I see how this could be hard.
Here are some random things that popped into my head that I liked the sound of

Honey and jam
Honey jar vintage
Honey pie vintage (I seem to have a thing with honey)
Lovely lovely vintage
Birds and buttons vintage

Can you thieve a title from song lyrics? Well not thieve, but pay tribute to the song writer by using their lyrics in your song 

Salty sea vintage
Beetle shell vintage
Milky moon vintage

(now that I think of it, most of Joanna Newsom’s song titles are very shop nameish)

I read the words 'braindead' and 'vintage', so I thought:
Braindead Vintage!
Okay, maybe it's not serious enough and it's not a typical name for a vintage shop, but I like it anyway.

Here are a few:

1. Pretty Bird Vintage (I think that was the name of your etsy, but I still like it)
2. Red-ily Vintage (I had to pay homage to the red hair)
3. Peaches & Cream Vintage
4. Simply Vintage Shoppe

Those are a few to think about.

Finally decided to check out your blog!
