Some lady had to help me scoop up my jaw because it was on the floor after I saw the label on the black skirt….Celine… believe me it isn’t everyday that I run across this luxurious French brand inside a thrift store… Just like the top made by Walking Art from Australia, you don’t find that brand everyday, every week or month for that matter. Let me start with the top by Walking Art which is a company from Australia that utilizes famous artist prints and applies them to women’s clothing. Th
Rebecca Taylor is not just a lifeSTYLE… but a state of mind. Urban, feminine, bold, kittenish, modern, chic, sexy and ever so cool Rebecca Taylor is probably the most famous New Zealand fashion designer that is based in New York City. Her creativity and energy pours into her collections with inspirational references ranging from vintage (LOVE) mod books from the 60′s & 70′s to the words of music, art and entertainment. Speaking of vintage and a blast from the past I’ve just watched Downton Ab
It isn’t everyday I run across Cynthia Rowley while out thrifting but today was a new day… Big fan of Cynthia Rowley especially her Fall 2011 collection… Cynthia Rowley was 7 when she constructed her first dress and so far this woman got into her car and tore off her rear view mirrow because this lady isn’t looking back! She is a true supportor of the arts so much that she has worked with artist like Ryan McNamara, Olaf Breuning, Nice Cave and Will Cotton, who I absolutely LOVE, on various v
That's So New York - Nicolas Ghesquière has taken Balenciaga to the next level by pushing the boundaries and representing shapes and colors in a whole different way. As a part of it all, Balenciaga bags have been a necessity (well, actually a weakness) for city girls, providing them ease, sophistication and great quality. The most splendorous thing about this season’s must, the Balenciaga Weekender Bag, is that it gives you that celebrity vibe most women seek for in their ordinary lives. Even t

That's So New York - The word Aztec has been thrown around the catwalk massive amounts this past season, used when describing various spring/summer as-well as fall/winter collections, it is a term which derives from Mexico and was used to describe certain ethnic groups, even as early as the 14th century. Navajo is the name taken by the largest native American tribe in north America. Both Aztec and navajo groups maintain, rather stereotypical native Indian attire, using an abundance of feathers,
That's So New York - ‘Believe in me and I’ll take you to the wonderland of amazing looks’ that seems to be the hidden message in Jil Sander’s Spring/Summer 2011 collection. Raf Simons managed to create a true color fest, wrapping model’s bodies in effortless sophistication. Neat and basic shapes are key words in a sentence written with striking tones, throughout a depiction about bracing minimalistic dreams. Long hemmed skirts and dresses, simple lines, and striped and color blocking silhouettes
2 out of 3 items from this posting are brand new don’t you just love that? Every time I find a brand new item in a thrift store I get a little verklempt. I have a been a serial thrifter for over 28 years now and I’ve seen some amazing things inside thrift stores along my journey and I’ve got to say each time I see a designer piece with tags dangling in the wind I choke up… It’s like finding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, I always like to think it’s my reward for all my hard work.

That's So New York - Plaiting, Weaving and Knotting - a few craft techniques you’ll be hearing a lot of thisSpring/Summer 2011, each adding a subtle touch of history to your very own wardrobe. Admittedly, you’ll be removing tassel after tassel from various objects, or even untangling the knot that has unknowingly formed on your front, but even then there’s no room for denying the shimmy of such embellishment can completely transform any outfit. Crochet, macramé and applique (more key- words for
