I stumbled upon a box of family photos from the 70′s in a thrift store and wondered howin the world does a box of family photos end up inside a thrift storefor sale?

Yes what’s her name is still modeling for me and I’m desperately seeking a name instead ofSusan… My eyes bugged out when I first felt this blouse and then sawthe French Connectiontag still on the rayon top. This top doesn’t even feel like rayon itfeels more like cotton with rayon, it’s just so super soft. Iabsolutely love the zipper on the back as you can see from detailphoto. This top still had the Bloomingdale’s $98 tag on it and you knowI didn’t pay anywhere near that neighborhood. This brand

It really isn’t every day that I not only find a Prada linen jacket but a blousethat matches the color to perfection. Both are from the same thriftstore to boot which makes my work so much easier.

Camel in colour with curves in all the right places. It seems camels have got it right for Autumn 2010. Indeedy the camel overcoat has always been an elegant wardrobe classic. In terms of investment dressing the camel coat is a must and in a post credit crunch era I am looking for ways to transform my look from ‘Hobo to Nobu’. I particularly liked the masculine silhouettes that were stomping the runways, particularly the classic double-breasted ¾ length at Gucci *mmm liquid toffee*

Fashion, Fun & Frolic Under the Sun
For SS2010 the team at Chhaya Couture took their thinking tank out to play and kicked the fashion rulebook out of the park. Three months of serious fashion and fun have resulted in “Folds & Frolic” – the youngest and most inspired collection from the label yet.

Yasmine Sewell is effortlessly, achingly cool. To be honest, this post could end right here right now. "Nuff" said, full stop, end of sentence. This women, knows herself inside-out, and isn't afraid to dress in a self-assured way - it is simultaneously refreshing and inspiring, in a sort of whirlywind of right-on chic!
Not only does the Sartorialist salute her, which apparently is the litmus of nonchalant, uber-hipdom these days, but I am also bitten by the besotted bug *that evil little critter*
Where does one find the perfect geek-chic frames to scaffold a pallid face? A sexy, disheveled, laboratory assistant-look requires a stellar pair of specs. Although, be warned, it’s a fine line between striking and strange. Indeed, there is nothing more charming than a chiseled gent with glasses.
