Unfortunately Cards: Send more rude mail.

 Looking to send something rude in the mail? Check out this shop, and it will fit all your needs. Unfortunately Cards is based out of Toronto. They are "Two friends who decided to make some cards." There is not a whiff of Hallmark saccrine sweetness to be found here. Their cards are sardonic, biting, and witty. I especially like the..."HAPPY BIRTHDAY...(you have a drinking problem!) Happy Birthday!" card. However, the following is my fave. It's an incredible line, which I hope to find an occasion to say to someone, with my nose in the air.

Rachel: My shop is called Ande Mönster, meaning Spirit Designs in Swedish. My shop is about supplying you with one-of-a-kind vintage kind apparel. I started the venture of owning a shop because I love the hunt and it gives me reason to do it and send my findings world wide.

Nora: What do you love the most about Vintage clothing?
1950's Mustard Yellow

Rachel:
I love the fact that vintage clothing has a story behind it, that someone kept it around for years and years and now it is traveling to someone else's closet to start another story.

Nora: Is fashion political? 
Rachel: Fashion can be political if you make it political. I believe it is cyclical.

Nora: What is your favorite dessert? 
Rachel: My favorite dessert is anything with chocolate and peanut butter. Mmmmm.


Nora: Who/What are your biggest style influences? Rachel: The one person who really stands out is Audrey Hepburn. She is so classy and effortless.

Nora: Tells us about your best vintage find. 
Rachel: My best vintage find? I think that changes weekly! I did find a 1930's wooden office chair, classic, for $6. It's adorable. Wheels on the legs, metal screw base, i love it.
