I’m a huge fan of the brand Moschino and on that rare occurrence that I actually do find an item inthe thrift store I can’t help but feel happy. Moschinowas created in 1983 by the late Franco Moschino who died in 1994 andRossella Jardini is their creative director and each time I see anyMoschino item it just takes me back to the 80′s. Franco Moschino duringthe 80′s was creating some of the most over the top and most fabulousitems that even today when I look back at his work, think this guy wasso

Let me just say this ‘it’s truly an earth shaking experience when you find Roberto Cavalli inside a thrift store’. When I first spotted thissheer and charged up blouse by Cavalli I couldn’t believe my eyes so Ihad to do a ‘doubletake’. Good thing my eyes are still 20/20….. This isa label I have never in my 28 years of thrifting come across inside athrift store. Since its first show in 1970 in Paris Roberto Cavalli has been synonymous with glam, rock and animal prints. His flamboyantItalian STYL

LBK Loubarok olive capri pants with Tibi top...

I have never heard of this brand LBK Loubarok before but that didn’t stop me from grabbing this item.These olive capri pants are made in France by a company I had a hardtime Googling. I’m an excellent researcher, it was my claim to famewhen I was young, and the information I’m able to get from this brand islimited. When you Google the name several links take you to sites thatare selling LBK Loubarok items and judging from those sites this isn’t ainexpensive brand. I’ve seen dresses sell for $740

Every now and then I get sideswiped by labels I commonly just don’t find while thrifting such asBlumarine. These black linen with spandex and jeweled bottoms Blumarineslacks are indeed a very rare occurrence esp. when they are in pristinecondition. Anna Molinari is the creative director for this brand andcreates clothes that are considered to be true cult items. Blumarine isone of Milan’s last holdouts for women who demand full on good timedressing with a cheerful disregard for polite moderation

I love this entire ensemble from top to bottom, it flows so effortlessly and looks simple chic. I don’t know why I’m going to tell you this but I’m going to fire away. When I was a growing up in south Texas in the 70′s and as hot as it was during the summer time my parents believed in dressing up so therefore my brother Darrell and I had to dress up. I can remember every Sunday for church we dressed up, never in blue jeans, tee shirts, tennis shoes or sweatshirts. I mean my parents made us dress

The first thing that struck me on entering the room was not the face, but the voice. I can only describe the timbre as a rich low lush sound with a very calming roundness. If she were a singer she would be an alto with an exceptionally wide vocal range.
