Do you enjoy quality clothing? Do you like spectacular vintage fashion? If you answered yes to either of those questions, make your way as fast as possible to Dear Golden – an online vintage shop with a store front in downtown Ypsilanti.
However, if you get slightly aroused/salavate at the sight of lovely clothing, proceed with caution. I tell you no lies – this is the cream of the crop as far as curated vintage shops go. You get a little weak in the knees entering the store because you feel like you’ve traveled back into the dressing rooms of the classiest ladies from every decade. Wall to wall vintage wedding dresses, cocktail dresses, shoes, handbags, jewelry, coats and hats .
I was searching for a pair of shoes to go with a custom dress made by THREADBEAT (who is a first class seamstress and a magician at making very specific clothing dreams come true in no time at all). I brought a photo of the dress to Dear Golden’s owner – the quick witted and brilliant Lauren Naimola .
After briefly looking at the entire wall of gorgeous shoes, within moments I was handed the most perfect pair of black kitten heels to go with my dress (they were just my size!!)
Viola!
*sigh* (they’re so comfortable, barely worn and they were a bargin!) I want to buy them all over again.
Okay, you’ve been sent on a mission – experience Dear Golden for yourselves. <3

Here is a beautiful array of henna art in many forms off the body! Showcasing artists who have taken the allure of henna designs and used them on other mediums.
A great example of henna design off the body, but still lovely traditional design, is Carry The News’ mehndi-inspired wedding invite. And what’s better? You don’t have to wait for these to be shipped to you because they are PRINTABLE! When you send your info, Carry The News emails a file for you to print and email to your guests. How awesome (and green-friendly! الربح من الانترنت مجانا )
I really like this henna-inspired peacock by Sometimes I Swirl because of the bold colors and the fluidity of the motion.
But the embroidery by Sometimes I Swirl is equally as impressive.. I don’t know which one I like more.. !
Lime and Purple! Such a hot combination. <3 Then add a high heel and henna design into the mix and you have one radical shoe! العاب كازينو اون لاين These yummy heels from Kezbirdie make me drool a little on the keyboard….
Like elephants? Like vividly colorful elephant paintings? Me too! That’s why this next painting by Masala Memories is a favorite.
From fellow Michigan Henna Artist Be*Henna*ed we get this great “Iceberg Blue Canvas Henna Mandala” – Perfect title for such a saturated, deep blue and stark white design.
Oh! Did someone say hand-painted pendant glass necklace with a henna design?!? Because that’s right up my alley. العاب ربح الجوائز حقيقية Awesome design by Mehndi Glass with a antiqued copper frame.. yes!
And last, but certainly not least, we have an adorable painted tea cup and saucer by Heather with my favorite : flowers and paisleys . I love her description here, too : “Spot of tea? Oh, live a little – impress your grandmother with this hand painted porcelaine tea cup and serve in style.”
