The style wolves always come out at the Silver Moon vintage boutique. Liz Meyer, wardrobe stylist to Aerosmith, has hit the nail on the head with her keen and discerning eye for vintage taste in clothing and beyond.

Silver Moon features women’s vintage collected pieces (early 1800s to 1960s formal and daywear, accessories, plus designer pieces and a bridal collection); men’s vintage (casual, formal, and hats); a vivienne westwood collection to drool over…literally; and house wares.

During my time away from Vintageista, I still had a chance to see what is “on” in the vintage fashion scene. Here are the top 3 picks of the week.

www.Anti-Factory.com

This site has the most adorable and original designs in sweaters and tops out there. Stephanie Syjuco makes all the merchandise by hand with vintage recycled wool, angora, cashmere, jersey, and other fabrics.

www.Poshvintage.com

This site is really for the vintage fashion aficionado. With everything from day/evening dresses to menswear to several private label links — POSH Urban, POSH Reconstructed, POSH Designer, POSH Nouveau, POSH Gift Shop, POSH Lingerie, and POSH House. Whew, that’s a lot of looking, but some things are just worth searching for.

www.Vintagetextile.com

For anyone who considers themselves a true arbiter of vintage style, this site is right up your alley. Though the price range is very much on the expensive side, you can just browse through the site to get a true appreciate of fashion past or if the tax refund came a bit early…there is nothing wrong with treating yourself. This site sells everything from early pieces (i.e. 1770) to pieces from the mid 1980s. Such a range of vintage fabulousness. My favorite link: Treasure Hunt ( you can find some really unique, one-of-a-kind items)
