Style Icon: I am Erica Kane!
August 26, 2009
The leopard print, the shoulders, the sequins and the Vidal Sassoon waves…not to mention that her face has slowly morphed into an entirely new one!
Beyond the hair and make-up and stilettos, Erica Kane was the first person to get a legal abortion on TV ever–score one for women’s rights.
Music for Lovers: Gary Gilmore’s Eyes
August 25, 2009
So even though this punk classic was filmed on Top of the Pops in the ’70s, the look is so au courant that it hurts my eyes (hehe). The moto jacket, the angular sunglasses, even their hair is straight out of my Fall inspiration pile, seriously so Raf Simons.
Klein Tools
August 21, 2009
We’ve always been enamored with re-purposing and re-claiming in regards to fashion so it comes as no surprise that we often look in weirdo places for key pieces for our wardrobes, vintage notwithstanding. Nurses’ shoes, gardening hats and now tool bags have all caught our eyes.
These beautiful, bright bags are the perfect size for travel [...]
Washington Wizard: Future Times
August 19, 2009
We love these guys…hence why we asked their affiliates to DJ our grand opening party. People doing creative things in DC hold a special place in our hearts. Throwing parties, making music and releasing records, Future Times is an aesthetic expression of musical love and the desire to share it with the world. Check their [...]
Music for Lovers: Heartbreaker
August 18, 2009
A study in videos:
and
This. But I couldn’t embed it so here’s the remix:
Points of interest: Long gloves, tight leotards and long, shoulder-dusting earrings from Pat. Mariah’s career-defining and fashion-legend making DIY–cutting her jeans’ waistband out. The crochet top doesn’t hurt either…as for the remix, it’s Mariah at her best: American Apparel’s template before they even [...]
We Got Signage
August 17, 2009
Check it ! We are thrilled to have a real deal sign for our shop! It was masterfully constructed out of a salvaged door by Kathleen Sutter and Ashby Strassburger and painted by hand. The design for the sign was the inspiration of Renee Glazer (who designed our logo). Drew Sutter was the foreman. Joshua [...]
Express Yourself
August 14, 2009
Um, sorry for that cheesy title. Check out a mini-review of the shop in today’s Express. Unfortunately, the price was printed wrong: the vintage clip-on bowties pictured are $32 each.
Vintage Vault: Sole Survivor
August 13, 2009
Fall is just around the corner, which means closed-toe shoes (sad). This also means you’ll be unpacking your winter heels and boots to face a new season of gravel, mud, rain, snow, sleet, cobblestone, brick and asphalt. The best way to make your vintage shoes last is regular maintenance. Winter outfitting usually includes making sure [...]
Music for Lovers: Hurt So Good
August 12, 2009
Ignore for a minute the fact that Susan Cadogan seems to be a mile away from the microphone and hone in her awesome bustier jumpsuit, beautiful hair and fanciful earrings. Plus this song is perfect for summer.

Founder of Dansk Passes

favorite dansk enameled pots as wall art by heart of light via poetic home
Belated R.I.P. to Theodore Nierenberg, founder of Dansk. Without him, my antique hunts would undoubtedly be less fun and my cookware a lot less cute and colorful. Although I am starting to grow out of my obsession with mid-century, early Dansk pieces will [...]
Music for Lovers: Michael Gira
I recently had the pleasure of seeing Michael Gira perform again and it reminded me of the power of consistency. This is a man that has been wearing big hats and suspenders for a good chunk of his career. There is something to be said for maintaining an image and controlling it as an artist. [...]
