X Marks the Spot

May 16, 2013

We wouldn’t love what we do if we didn’t feel compelled to dig deeper into the vintage we carry at the shop.

As a huge fan of fall and my all-time favorite 90′s movie, Clueless — I’m inspired by the layering and outfit combos that were featured by Cher, Dionne and Amber in the movie. I mean after all, who [...]

Style Inspiration: The Craft

August 29, 2012

Let’s all go back to a time where spaghetti straps and witchcraft were cool. I had the pleasure of viewing “The Craft” recently, and I failed to remember that it was legitimately scary. I also failed to remember how cool their dark outfits (variations on private school uniforms) were. Just the right mix of bad girl, witchy, 90s style.   [...]

I was recently reminded of one of my favorite indie films from the 90s: Buffalo ’66. I always loved Christina Ricci’s iridescent tights and sorbet-colored lipstick. Not to mention Vincent Gallo’s striped shirt and red boots.   photo via http://www.telegraph.co.uk

When the temperature climbs to stifling hot triple-digits in the district, I think about one movie: Do The Right Thing (set on the hottest day of the year in Brooklyn, New York). And I think of their amazing summer styles from the late 80s. via www.forgottenflix.com via www.screenjunkies.com

You guys, I’m really into the ’90s in New York right now…it’s all mid-riffs, vests, lace and chokers. PLUS J. LO! Gonna break this shit out at da club real soon…since it’s 2010, the first half of the ’90s is bonafide vintage.
