street sweeper.

every now and again you spot someone who might not follow fashion but exudes their own sense of style. this man spotted in Bangalow had that. everything in his outfit just worked in a way that no one else could have pulled off, from the black and white brogues to the polka dot neck tie, white cowboy hat and vintage wooden saints bracelets. he was a welcome relief from the grey of winter, and considering his bright outfit was surprisingly shy when we asked to take his picture. our only wish was that we had a better camera on hand iPhone's camera doesn't seem to do him justice.


apart from 'street sweeping' unique and fashion forward looks we are so busy and excited here at GI jones our very first vintage and statement accessories collection is almost ready and should be online next weekend. we cant believe that this is finally happening and we are so glad you could all be a part of it. here's a sneak peak of another piece from the collection which seems to be right at home with our Bangalow mans look.

Splendour in the Grass kicks off the winter music festival season this weekend with a killer line-up. we recommend the best way to stay warm but still look chic is to channel your inner Kate Moss or Alexa Chung, hose off your gumboots, or lace up your chucks/docs team them with faded denim, tailored leather jackets, anything military or khaki and polish off your look with statement vintage (remember they should be hardy but lightweight ) so you stand out from the crowd.we also suggest that you protect your look from sudden downpours or mudslides with a peruvian style poncho.
here are our favourite festival staples from GI jones' up coming collection





 





- vintage VUARNET PX aviator sunglasses made in France


 
- vintage black suede leather belt with etch detail 'brass' buckle

hello.

introductions are always hard. where to begin? we are sisters. we live far apart. but we are all engaged in a love affair with vintage accessories and statement jewellery.we aren't always arty. we don't only wear vintage. far from it. we shop in chain stores, department stores, high end fashion stores and second-hand stores. we believe that they are all the perfect partners for timeless statement vintage and all have their place in fashion.


blogging is the perfect excuse to do our favourite things continue sourcing chic vintage and keep in contact with each other. this blog is also an ideal partner for our vintage accessories ebay store. we hope to fill 'GI jones' with our new vintage finds, latest buys, (hopefully) entertaining stories and rambling thoughts. we hope you enjoy. we hope you follow us.
