April 5, 2013

Mad Men premieres this Sunday and we’ve all got 60′s fever here at the shop. I honestly spent all of Tuesday re-watching the 5th season in preparation.

Vintage Inspiration from the 50s, 60s and 70s

March 3, 2013

As we all wait for Spring to arrive, and great new vintage pieces with it, I thought it be nice to post some exceptional examples of style from the Mid-Twentieth Century. All of the photographs were taken by the photographer Eve Arnold, and display exceptional pieces that could easily be donned again today.    

As If!

October 8, 2012

Well fall is officially here in the Washington, DC area and that only means one thing… LAYERING! 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 Icon Part III

September 14, 2010

My grandparents’ outfits perfectly hint at each other: polka dot tie reflected in abstract dot print on the dress. Black vs. White shoes. Dark jewelry and dark hair. A lesson in couple’s dressing.

Jeanskin

That means I’ve sweated through some of the best flea markets on the continent: Koło in Warsaw, Les Puces de Saint-Ouen in Paris, Flomarket in Mauerpark Berlin, Mercat del Encants in Barcelona, etc. It’s awesome to hunt and dig [...]

Customer Service

July 13, 2010

A couple of days ago, Helena Christensen’s mom (who looks a lot like her) helped me try on a pair of Alaia hot shorts in her vintage store. Needless to say, they didn’t fit me (they used to belong to Helena). But I was drawn to the store itself because I knew it was full [...]
