Here is a little inside tip next time you hit a thrift store don’t assumethat the clothing is arranged in their proper places….. Here is what Iam talking about , when I found this gorgeous Robert Grahamshirt I initially thought it was a woman’s blouse because I wasactually in the women’s section of the thrift store. I picked it upbecause I of course recognized the label and I thought the pattern andfabric was beautiful. Then I noticed that the buttons were on the rightside of the shirt so this t

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. I first found theblouse which is by J. McLaughlin button up and here is the story aboutthis brand. Brothers Jay and Kevin McLaughlinopened their first store 32 years ago at 74th Street and 3rd Avenue onNew York’s Upper Ease side.

I’m having a really hard time naming my new mannequin. One moment I’ll call her Matilda then I’ll call her Barbarella so you see my dilemma. It’s a hard decision to come up with a name forthis mannequin since I’ll be spending alot of my time with her.

I know we all have heard that dreadful comment about notwearing white passed Labor day and not until Easter and my thoughts arethis “are we back in the 50′s ?” I have often wondered who started thatobnoxious statement and why did it stick with us for so long?
