On Monday, July 11th, I had the pleasure of visiting a brand new Vintage boutique in the Hintonburg area called Royal Palm Vintage. I was asked to style and “model” a few pieces for their instagram with my friend.
My first impression of the space is that it’s unique and different than any other vintage store I’ve ever been in. The concrete details with open-exposed ceilings give the space an industrial- modern feel.
It is a beautiful space with funky and fun decor, and it is a place where you don’t feel overwhelmed by product. I find this is a good thing when thrift shopping or vintage hunting because it can be easy to give up and walk away. However, at Royal Palm, everything is separated by style so you have an area of more casual wear, and then some fancier items etc.

 

The owner, Rebecca, is very friendly, welcoming, and has an eye for picking unique and special items. This makes you want to stay longer and have a chat all while looking for that piece that’s meant to be found just by you.
A piece i was drawn to was this “Toronto” tee. I decided to go out of my comfort zone and style it with another baby pink item. An added bonus is that these pants are Ralph Lauren (queue Rachel from Friends fan girl moment). Overall this is a comfortable and casual outfit that stands out from the ordinary

The second look was styled around this GORGEOUS Betsy Johnson skirt (that I ended up taking home with me). I love how the purse adds a pop of color and makes certain details on the skirt stand out, plus, the jean jacket makes the whole outfit casual and daytime appropriate. However, you could take it off and add a dressy top and you’d be good to go for a classy and elegant evening look.

This concludes part 1 of my collaboration with Royal Palm vintage.
Stay tuned for pt 2!
In the mean time go ahead and check out the boutique and everything it has to offer, if you do, let them know I sent you over!

Big thanks to Rebecca for being so kind and having me and Sonya for being my partner in styling and an awesome photographer.
