Being involved in the green movement is the neccesary step we all must take to help this planet out so you know I’m taking these steps by leaps and bounds.  I mean just look at this posting and check out all these gorgeous clothes that came out from a thrift store and tell me that this isn’t significant…  I go out everyday and hunt for luxury clothes that are at the last stop before a landfill and rescue them and then pass it on to my clients.  Call me “Superman” if you’re nasty or just ecologi

Sometimes all we need is an option and I’m a firm believer in having as many of those as possible, just ask anyone of my friends, so this posting offers 2 tops with 1 bottom…  The 1st top is by 7 for All Mankind and you have to check out the second photo of this pink top so you can see how the backside was designed.  Very STYLISH indeed.  The 2nd top is by Rebecca Taylor and this little number is Sexy with a capital S.  So far what is there not to love about these 2 tops?  7 for all Mankind a

Nowhere on this pink halter top by Topshop does it say designed by Kate Moss but in my opinion it sure does look like something she would have created for this store.  It isn’t everyday you see an item from Topshop in a thrift store but when it does show up you simply grab it, run to the counter to pay and get the hell out of Dodge…  I love putting this halter top with a black Norma Kamali palm tree printed skirt.   This is a cute and simple look with the Topshop halter and the Norma Kamali ski

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

By now the entire world knows how much I love Michael Stars, yes I’ve outed myself!  South African native Michael Cohen launched his t-shirt line more than 2 decades ago.  After meeting his wife Suzanne, the pair created the Michael Stars known today for its wide selection of perfectly fitted tees, signature “shine” fabric, ultra soft layering pieces and plush cashmere sweaters.  So when I found this turquoise top with ruching front and this LBD (little black dress) both my Michael Stars you kn

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.

I LOVE - LOVE - LOOOOVVEEEEE finding agnes b inside a thrift store…This long sleeve black agnes b cotton & silk top would look STYLISH with just about anything and yes that means even a paper bag or tow sack.  Agnes Trouble – known simply as agnes b in the fashion world has quickly grown her chic, everyday designs into an international brand, despite the label’s lack of advertising.  agnes b has maintained many of the same silhouettes that it introduced in the 70′s… agnes b has now become The A

Every woman I have ever put into a Vivienne Tam piece has always fallen in love all over again… I’m not surprised in the least…  Can you just imagine putting on this sexy silk BCBG camisole for daytime and then night rolls around and you fling this Tam jacket on with your favorite disco heels and then go out and cut the town. Cut the town…  This ensemble could be the making of a paparazzi’s wet dream… Love putting these 2 brands together because they compliment each other so STYLISHLY….  STYLE

Silk & cotton are 2 fabrics that without we probably would just walk around naked, I know that sounds good to some people….  This posting I put together Helen Wang silk sleeveless top and this MAG by Magaschoni cotton pullover all within the same color palette.  Lets start with Helen Wang who was born in Shanghai and raised in London and discovered her flair for fashion at the tender age of 13.  Helen knew then that fashion was her calling and attended the Parson’s School of Design.  Shortly af

We always remember our first.  The first date, kiss, ‘first time’, STD,  first hangover or concert – we always remember our first time.  I will never forget the first time I found a Cartier item, it was a briefcase or when I found a  Hermes scarf.  I remember those items and where I found them clearly as the day is long or RuPaul is tall.  Well yesterday I had 2 cherries popped which I will always remember.  My day started off by getting my very first facial at Entebello,  which was a gratifyin

I have no idea what is going on with people in this country not dressing up for a special occasion.  I’m not going to mention the holiday or restaurant but lets just say both were big… I’m having dinner with Mitch and it’s a fancy restaurant and the wait staff wore faded jeans and so did the people sitting next to us.  What in the world is going on with this country and wanting to dress up?  I mean at one time men & women dressed up to go to the grocery store – I watch Mad Men – and now people

The word minimal always crops up from season to season but for Max Mara it’s just lean and precise.  For Spring 2011 MaxMara, the legendary Italian fashion house, takes us back to the glamorous years of the 60′s with capri pants and silhouette friendly dresses making a walk down the red carpet a memorable event.  I know this vintage beige wool jacket I found inside the thrift store by MaxMara isn’t from the Spring 2011 collection but the color palette sure is.  This is what is so wonderful and

This ensemble is already sexy on its own but throw in the fact that I pillaged them both from the same thrift store it now become delicious!  When my hands touched the DVF sexy blouse I started to hyperventilate but then when I found the Jil Sander skirt right there on the spot I could have laid the golden egg!  I mean just how friggen lucky was I???  Together here are 2 of my favorite brands united to produce 1 enticing outfit..  What this outfit needs is a vintage 60′s Pucci velvet Jana Bag f

Mixing something modern with something vintage is always STYLISH just look at this posting and you’ll see what I’m talking about.  I’ve matched up this green Michael Stars tee and this black beaded DKNY vest that are new and modern and put it with this vintage Escada black skirt for that sophisticated modern fresh look.  The thing I love the most is mixing vintage with something new and it all depends on how you do it.  This black Escada skirt is a timeless treasure because you can whip this sk

If I have to be the 1 that pats myself on the back for this wide array of chic pieces I’ve pillaged from the thrift store well then so be it….  I mean I found this black silk halter top by Bebe that is stunning and I mean it…it’s so sexy and chic and every woman I know wants to look and feel that way.  The 2nd piece I found was this classic pattern Lafayette 148 New York wrap blouse and again ladies I can’t say it enough if you don’t already own a wrap blouse then how in the hell are you going

Who doesn’t need a perfect pair of shoes or for that matter a fabulous vintage vinyl LP?  Don’t you love that the Pucci heels are on Cole Porter, Weitzman are on Herb Albert & the Tijuna Brass and Cole Haan‘s are on Joe Jackson vinyl…..  yes I have a turn table at doubletake and I’m always spinning the wax… I LOVE Pucci and always have just ask my STYLISH friend Liz Lapidus… The Pucci heels are classic, the Stuart Weitzman bedazzled rhinestone heels are chic and the Cole Haan Nike Air are just c
