Hey! I’m Jen.

I’m a cook, writer, and designer. I love vintage, foraged items, and creative living.

Great Vintage: Bootleg in Chico, CA

Great Vintage: Bootleg in Chico, CA

Over the years, I have found some of my favorite vintage items at Bootleg. It’s a magical place and I could spend hours every single time I visit Chico perusing and trying on incredible items to bring home with me.

Two of my favorite Bootleg items and links to similar items online:

1) This crazy (incredible) sweater, above, with Angora shoulders and gorgeous sequins that is one of my all-time favorite pieces in my wardrobe:

This is the same exact sweater, and this is a very close match. I am OBSESSED with this embroidered one, so you better grab it before I do - look at how beautiful she is:

2) Vintage Leather Dooney & Bourke bag:

Truth be told, I’m not typically a big Dooney & Bourke girlie, but I fell in love with this bag the second I saw it. I love that it’s all leather, it is in perfect condition, and it matches my Everlane loafers for when I want to wear my “teacher outfit.” It has an easy vibe and is well constructed.

I did also carry my new D&B bag to Honky Tonk night, with my Lonesome Rose tee-shirt, an old belt buckle we found while cleaning out my grandparent’s house, a pair of wide barrel-leg jeans (similar high and low options here), and a vintage faux fur jacket.

Here’s the exact bag on Poshmark. And one in a different shape that’s also really good.
