Love vintage clothes but not wild about pawing through thrift stores? A new website CHIC&youshallfind makes online vintage shopping easy. The site was founded by former fashion editor and Vogue staffer, Brenna Egan who decided to leap from the magazine world and into retail. Opening an online boutique instead of a bricks-and-mortar shop lets her keep the prices reasonable and sell to the entire country. The site takes a J. Peterman-style approach to sales spinning a creative yarn about each garment.

The site also features the Posh Pawnshop, an e-consignment area. Customers can e-mail rough photos of their items for approval and then ship them to the CHIC&youshallfind headquarters in Los Angeles where they will be professionally shot and uploaded for resale. Once it sells the customer receives the value minus a resale fee.
