I was in a vintage mood today and stumbled on this place on my way to work. Like a moth to a flame I promptly got off the bus and entered Bandlands. I walked in and thought "Oh... this is small!" Then I realized there was a downstairs sections with more goodies to pick though.
The downstairs section is reminiscent of my uncle's basement circa 1978 and has tons of cute accessories, shoes and clothing. My mission was to find a cute summer dress and I found her.
I named her "Ingrid" and her tag said "Just about the most perfect summer dress." I couldn't argue with the tag... I mean it was written in pen for God sakes. At $26 it was a bargain and I can't wait to wear it. -

Yet again on the vintage tip...
It will never cease to amaze me how much this area has been built up, since I've lived here. Badlands is another that offers some decent prices and worthwhile finds that led me to believe the person who owns it knows what they're doing, and have submitted a worthwhile addition to the ...genre? The fun and thought that goes into it all is clear in the meticulous interior and details like neon price tags with notes about each item, ie. "love the colour!"
The shop has a small area on the landing, with accessories galore, taking its cue largely from the 80s/90s- school of hot pink "fashion earrings" in their original package and a Disney World pin, complete with nouveau-90s Goofy. As much as I love looking through the classier, old-fashioned (and pricey) items of many other stores, it is these kind of items that speak to my sensibility.
The basement is where most of the clothes are located, and I truly had to restrain myself. The obviously ancient pink crimper rocked my world, though I couldn't tell if its intended purpose was ornamental (I can't imagine it would be very good for your hair...), and the Marc Jacobs Spaghetti-commemorative Provincetown t-shirt hit a nerve cuz I went there last summer, and I love spaghetti (and I bought it). -

Badlands is a fun, funky vintage store on Ossington. Don't be fooled by the small storefront, the basement is where it is at. Lots of space to try on cloths and it makes you feel like hanging out and having a good time looking through the cloths. Prices are amazing! Clothing is 80/90s focused with a little 60s and 70s thrown in. Recently I took advantage of their winter sale and got a multi-coloured suede coat for about $30!
