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

When the LBD (little black dress) just won’t cut it for you try a new color say for instancegreen…. The first thought that pops into my mind when I see this greensilk Nicole Miller dress is sex kitten….. When I say sex kitten I’mtalking about Brigitte Bardot and I can easily see her having worn such dress, couldn’t you??? Nicole Milleris a fashion designer with a modern, ageless aesthetic. Hersilhouettes are artfully draped to achieve a unique body consciousness.Her signature is feminine, sexy a

These Trina Turk slacks make me feel like I’m having a 70′s flashback. I love the bold colors thatTrina Turk used to construct these gorgeous chic slacks . When I firstsaw the label I just smiled because these look exactly like something Trina Turkwould design, she is fearless when it comes to arranging the colorpalette. When it came time to finding a top for these slacks Lady Luckygave me the green light and I scored this white wool with nylon Theory top.This top is extremely modern and classic

I’m not lying when I say this but I literally walked into a thrift store and withinthe first 30 seconds I had these 3.1 Phillip Lim white slacks in thetight grip of my hands. True story…. I couldn’t believe that in myhands were a pair of white Phillip Limslacks, I have never seen or found this brand before inside a thriftstore. Every major luxurious high end department store represents thisguys brilliant creations. Phillip Lim was born in Thailand, in 1973 toChinese immigrants who fled to Califo

Its been sometime since I scored anything from Marina Rinaldi while thrifting so I was excited whenthis little 2 piece red sweater set popped up.

I can honestly tell you this… I have witnessed countless women clients of mine try on any Vivienne Tam item and watch them foam at the mouth with excitement. Foam might notbe the correct word but you get my drift ….salivate, drool, slobber,dribble you name it because they all do it when they try on VivienneTam.

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

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

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
