Are you one of those people who just can’t help grabbing a postcard from wherever you travel? Instead of tucking the evidence of your journeys away in a drawer, we thought using a postcard rack — seen here in the Parisian home of chef Inaki Aizpitarte — was a clever way to display such things.

The other day, while checking out the shops along Bleecker Street in New York City’s West Village, we stumbled upon this unique window display housing 1940’s, 50’s and 60’s Playboy Magazines. This copy, which unfortunately wasn’t for sale - regardless of our begging and failed negotiation tactics, had an Ivy League School theme - perfect to place on a coffee table. Fear not, we found a few other classic vintage issues in the eBay closet to begin amassing the pinup collection.

Check out these Swarovski numbers we found here on eBay for a little glitter. If you’re looking for something less obvious, YSL is known for their creative creations. And it’s always worth checking out the treasure trove of vintage selections to see if you can score something unique.

Every bedroom or office wall needs a large graphic statement. If elegance is your wish, consider the classic art deco posters of the 30’s and 40’s. The era embraced luxury, art direction, and geometric patterns. The Welcome poster (seen above) will cost you $24.95 on eBay. There’s a myriad of other options if you search under “Art Deco” poster, or type it into your eBay Feed.

From Audrey Hepburn to Stevie Nicks, anyone in “the business” has been long obsessed with poodles, and rightly so. The dogs are known to be incredibly intelligent (and in some cases, hypoallergenic). Just for fun, we started poking around eBay, keeping with the theme, and found “spaghetti art” poodle figurines. We can’t tell if they’re horrible or awesome or a little bit of both. Check it out for yourself here.

Last month, we reported on teacher and artist Caris Reid and her unique Instagram feed featuring the collages of her students. Miss Reid inspired once again, this time with a vintage shot showcasing women sporting intricate headpieces, kohl eyeliner, and a whole lot of beaded silk. Now that’s a party we want an invitation to.

The folks at Club Monaco posted this photo snapped by Ezra Stoller in honor of an upcoming collection of his works to be shown at Yossi Milo Gallery in Chelsea through March 2nd. The show, Ezra Stoller: Beyond Architecture, features five decades of his documentation of legendary architects. We discovered a ton of Ezra Stoller collectibles on eBay to get a head start researching this brilliant talent.
