This vintage cheetah print YSL silk blouse is just as STYLISH as the day it was created by YSLif not better.  The thing I love about luxury vintage is that it is timeless and this cheetah print silk blouse is just that so it makes for a good investment.  Founded in 1961, YSL is 1 of the great fashion names of all times.  The 1st couture house to introduce the concept of luxury pret-a-porter in a 1966 collection called “Rive Gauche”, YSL revolutionized the social cultural landscape.  Today creati

I think Shaun Kearney ,who is creative director for Cynthia Steffe, is absolutely brilliant that’s what I think!  Shaun Kearney is a Brit living in New York City that loves to mix and match patterns, prints and fabrics and I think that’s so STYLISH in a designer.  I know people always think it must be easy to do that, you know to mix and match fabrics, prints and patterns but that’s so not true.  It take the trained eye of a perfectionist to nail that door shut and that’s exactly what Shaun Ke

This size 6 David Meister sassy spotty black dress with ruching on side is over the top hotness.  In my humble opinion I believe that if your designs are sold in Bergdorf Goodman then you’ve  peeked the stratosphere and beyond!  Bergdorf Goodman just sounds R$CH and I know David Meister is sold in Neiman Marcus as well but to me Bergdorf Goodman is the ultimate place a designer wants to showcase their talent.  This is one hot chic dress that will take everyone hostage and could you blame it?  If

Every now and then I like to treat myself to some luxury and who could blame me for wanting this white Z Zegna shirt?  When I spotted this beauty waiting for me to pick it up at my favorite thrift store I said to myself “you know Daniel you can always use a nice white shirt” and I was right.  Alessandro Sartori is the designer for the Z Zegna label and has designed for this brand since 2002.  The Z Zegna is for a younger, fashion-conscious guy with a strong mentality, he likes his own STYLE, b

Would you think that you could waltz into a thrift store and put together this ensemble?  Well I hope you said yes darling because that’s where these lovely items came from.   Now if I waltzed into a thrift store and yanked out a satin sheen Halston cream blouse and then gobbled up this khaki Burberry skirt, tiny but still a skirt, I’m thinking you can too.  I know if I can do this then you can too and that’s the pleasure I get out of thrifting, it’s like treasure hunting only less dangerous!!! 

Each of these items were pillaged out from 2 different thrift stores and I couldn’t have paired them up any better.  Both are nylon and both are sporty and active, so you can be STYLISH and sporty all at once.  The navy top by Louis Feraud is just your classic top and the link I picked for Louis Feraud will show you what his vintage pieces sell for so the next time your thrifting be sure you keep an eye for anything vintage by Feraud.  The navy Versace Intensive is Versace’s active line that

It’s the exact feeling you get when you’re riding in a Maserati going 120mph down the freeway that I get when I score something as lovely as this Kay Unger & Love Moschino.  It’s an adrenaline rush and a rush is a rush no matter how you experience it.  I love me some Kay Unger New York and this sexy little top with all its shine and piazza is so lovable….  Cupid has hit the bulls eye when I scored these Love Moschino gray slacks and paired it with Kay Unger.  Would you have thought you could fin

Ok I haven’t the foggiest idea who in the hell Stella CDC made in Italy is, to be honest with you when I saw the word Stella I immediately thought of Stella McCartney but that isn’t her label unfortunately.  The thing that jazzed me up about this Stella cdc skirt was the fact that it was made in Italy so I always assume the best when I see that on any label, it’s the tag hag in me that rears it’s head.  What I do love about this outfit is the white Narciso Rodriguez top also made in Italy so dri

If I were to tell you that I paid $3.50 for this 2 piece skirt & jacket Oscar de la Renta suit would you believe me???  Oh the joys of thrifting and shopping environmentally friendly is so STYLISH isn’t it?  If I had to put my hand on the bible (V Magazine) and swear I could easily do so….  In fact not only is the 2 piece suit in mint condition but the white cotton with spandex blouse with it is brand new still with tags ABS by Allen Schwartz.  Who doesn’t love finding Oscar de la Renta inside

Betsey Johnson sure knows how to put a smile on my face and when I spotted this lovely little dress among a thousand other dresses inside the Value Village, I simply smiled and said ‘thank you.’  I love Betsey Johnson I love her spirit, her energy and her passion for designing.  Betsey Johnson is 69 years young and still knows how to shake life up and squeeze every drop out from it.  Betsey was actually a friend of Andy Warhol, now not just anyone can make that claim, but she has always LOVED

The moment I started this ‘green’ / STYLE blog is the moment everything in my life came into focus.  I’ve been a thrifter now for 29 years and I had somewhat of a clear picture in my head but it truly wasn’t until I started my blog that the picture went from a little blurry to crystal clean (focused).  What’s I’m saying is I now see the huge amount of clothing in thrift stores, consignment stores, clothing liquidation stores blab blab blab and the amount of waste and now that the picture has c

You should have seen my eyes when I spotted the Paul Smith label because I don’t believe anyone could have made their eyes open as wide as I did!  Everything I see this label I always hope it’s a man’s item and most importantly that it’s my size.  I LOVE Paul Smith.  This lovely tailored blouse will make some lady very happy and I am pleased to do that.  Paul Smith is the son of a draper who began his fashion career by opening a boutique in England in 1970.  Paul Smith’s collections are produced

The Tara Jarmon label is synonymous with Parisian femininity, but with clothing available in shops all over Europe and online retailers such as ShopSTYLE.com, it is possible for all women to get their hands on her sleek, STYLISH wares.  Wear Tara Jarmon whenever you want to feel sexy andd fashionable without sacrificing comfort and practicality.  This brown with the tiniest pink of all pink polka dots is so beyond being STYLISH it hurt my head!  This lovely beauty marched out of the thrift store

When I find a Maria Bianca Nero item in the thrift stores I always gobble them up because I LOVE her!!  MBN is a former fashion model that was based in Milan and her designs are strongly influenced by Italian fashion designers like Azzedine Alaia and Romeo Gigli so you know this woman had amazing taste.  Her work is sold in  Neiman Marcus but not many.  I love finding this silk lace MBN dress at the Goodwill and yes I said thank you to the GODS above.  MBN where every your at please know you are

I’ve honestly tried to get any information about this brand so that I can chat it up but even their website just says “coming soon.”  I can tell you that this line is sold in Saks Fifth Avenue and for more than one shiny penny.  I wish you could see the lines and details on this dress but since it’s black that’s very hard to do but trust me, this dress has a lot of STYLE.  The tiniest detail I was able to get was that “I believe” this is a line from Milan other than that I know nothing.  These b

I was digging for gold in the blouse section of Goodwill when out from the corner of my eyes I saw this pattern and knew it was greatness.  I walked over to the dresses and plucked this dress out immediately and just imagine my delight when I saw this early 80′s DVF label.  An early DVF 80′s dress with a classic and I mean classic harlequin pattern that made my giggle like a damn fool.  Now if only I could have found these Christian Louboutin patent-leather sandals too but I think when the GODS

This posting gets me so worked up in that freakish way.  I mean I waltzed into the thrift store and first grabbed the Marc by Marc Jacobs top and I’m a big fan of MJ so it’s always a treat when I find this label.  I love this quote from MJ from the New York Magazine “I like romantic allusions to the past: what the babysitter wore, what the art teacher wore, what I wore during my experimental days in fashion when I was going to the Mudd Club and wanted to be a New Wave kid but was really a poseur

Escada is 1 of these brands that I will always salvage and this pink beaded t-shirt EscadaSport needed my love.  German fashion house Escada is a brand formerly known for glamorous evening gowns, gold buttons and big shoulder pads but all that is changing as fast as I type this.  Today Escada’s is moving towards more contemporary and affordable everyday STYLES.  The brand was purchased by Megha Mittal who plans to turn the brand around and that’s the exciting part.  This pink beaded butterfly t-
