When I think about what "vintage" smells like, the most pleasant things don't really come to mind; moth balls, mildew, and sweat to name a few. Kate Moss however, has a different take on what vintage smells like, and she's put it into her new perfume of that name.

Unlike real vintage, Kate Moss' Vintage smells like pink pepper, freesia, mandarin, heliotrope, jasmine,vanilla and musk. The fragrance meant to invoke a feeling of history more so than the actual smell of vintage. The bottle design adds the effect; it's art deco influences include an uncanny resemblance to an Asscher cut gem. The color of the bottle is even vintage, lifted from Kate's favorite vintage ring.

Vintage was just released in the UK, but Yankees will have to wait for early 2010 to get their hands on the fragrance stateside. If Kate's first two fragrances (Kate Moss and Velvet Hour) are any indication, Vintage should prove to be sexy, feminine, and mysterious. I can't wait to smell for myself!

It's one of my favorite times of year again, Oscar season! I go to the movies much more often in the fall because that is when the best movies of the year come out, and a lot of the time, they are period movies with insane vintage costuming.

The 2009 season gave us perfectly costumes movies like Milk (70s & 80s) and The Changeling (30s). This year there's Amelia (20s & 30s) , Coco Before Chanel (most of the 20th century), The Lovely Bones (70s), and Pirate Radio (60s). Nothing quite as epic as lasy year, but plenty of opportunity for style inspiration. Is anyone else suddenly dying to get their hands of the perfect pilot's bomber jacket?

You know those new Microsoft commercials where the person expains how Windows 7 was their idea? I feel exactly the same way about Wishpot! This online service makes it possible to put anything in the world on a wishlist...literally, anything. Any item for sale on the internet can be added to your wishlist with just the click of a button. All you have to do is install the Wishpot button on your browser's tool bar and click it when your find something you want to wish for. Oh and did I mention that all of this is free?

Before now, you could never really make a wishlist for vintage items because private sites don't offer them, vintage pieces are one of a kind so you have to keep checking to see if it was sold, and with the infinite shops online it would be impossible to keep track everything. With Wishpot, you don't have to do anything nearly as much work. Not only does the service keep everything in a nice list for you, but you can set it to alert you when the price of an item goes down.

You can send your lists to friends and family so that they can buy you the items as gifts, or even contribute a portion of the price of a gift. Wishpot has so many possible uses beyond just wishlists, you can make holiday shopping lists, registries for weddings or baby showers, or set up a joint gift. I 've started my lists and can't wait to see how they play out. In addition to getting more gifts that I actually want, I have a feeling I will also be getting a lot of people hooked on Wishpot too.

A giant leap for vintage kind has been made; Goodwill Industries has an online auction site! Shopgoodwill.com has all of the good stuff you would spend hours digging around for in one of their stores, but with the advantage of shopping Goodwills all over the country at once!

You can find anything from shoes, to fur coats, even fun grab bags of items on Shopgoodwill. There's even a "Retro/Vintage" category for searching. Just like eBay, all items are for same by auction, so you have to compete for the really good stuff. This makes the prices go higher than they would in an actual Goodwill store. Unlike eBay, the money goes to a non profit (Note: although the profits go to the charity, they are not tax deductable).

So if you get stuck home with a cold, the flu, or the dreaded H1N1 this winter; remember you can still shop for vintage things you love without ever leaving your cozy bed!
