Eat Your Rice and Beans--Vintage, That Is

Friends tell secrets--and since we're friends and all, I'm willing to share one of the best kept secrets in designer deals. Forget Ebay! Rice and Beans Vintage is the online spot for both contemporary and vintage designer clothes, shoes, handbags, and jewelry--and at the most reasonable prices, to boot.

Each item is carefully selected by owner Sarah Korsiak Cellier, who understands that "vintage is all about fun and self expression, mixing the old with the new." Her understanding of classic styles and current trends is fully evident in the store inventory. And for those of you who stray from the world of PETA, there's even a fur salon--ooh la la!

To get the flavor of the site, allow me to give you a small serving of Rice and Beans: a dash of Chanel, a pinch of Vitadinni, and just the right amount of Gucci. Delicious is a total understatement, obviously.

So if you're in the mood to consignment shop but are stuck at the office (like too many fashionistas that I know), your luck is changing: handpicked designer bliss is now just a few mouse clicks away! The only downside is that items sell quickly, so you need to act fast. After all, no one likes cold rice and beans. Bon appétit, darlings!
