I love this blue velvet Dior “lounge wear” top and yes I’m putting it with a vintage Escada suede skirt.  Why you ask?  Why not !  I don’t believe that just because something says ‘lounge wear’ you have to wear the damn thing at home lounging while watching “One Life to Live” or “The Young & The Restless”.  Oh hell no, it means wear it out and lounge !  I’m a firm believer in setting your own rules and follow no one.  Don’t just blend in, STAND OUT.  Hell if you wanted to just blend in, go to To

I just had my Pauline Trigere cherry popped!  Yes that’s right, this lovely vintage cropped Trigere jacket, is my very first found item from this label.  I went directly to YouTube to see if there were any previous interviews with Pauline Trigere and luckily there was this 1984 interview.  It’s amazing and she was fantastic as you’ll see when you watch this video.  In many ways she was America’s Coco Chanel.  Pauline Trigere was sophisticated, elegant and never afraid to speak her mind – a large

This vintage Lanvin 70′s dress looks amazing even today and that has everything to do with Jeanne Lanvin.  Jeanne Lanvin opened a millinery shop in Paris in 1890.  She became known for the beautiful dresses she was making for her daughter so in 1909, Lanvin opened her dressing making business and the rest they say is history.  Jeanne Lanvin was all about designing pieces that were timeless and as you can see from this dress, she was spot on.  There is a lot to be said about craftsmanship and of

Who doesn’t love getting their hands on a vintage 70′s maxi dress by Rizkallah for Malcolm Starr?  Name just one person and I’ll send them the deed to The Empire State Building !!  This maxi Malcolm Starr dress is simply divine.  Malcolm Starr was a popular American dress manufacturer and head of the ready to wear company with the same name.  The dress company was started in the 1940′s by Malcolm’s father Frank who was a very well known figure in the textile industry back in the day.  During tha

Good GODS almighty will you just look at these gorgeous vintage Pierre Cardin plaid slacks?  These are so over the top hot and chic even today 50 years later.  That’s what I love about good solid design, it’s timeless.  These are thick wool slacks that will keep any women warm, in style, even in the coldest of winter months.  The brown Bally blouse works nicely with these vintage Cardin slacks, it gives it a nice modern feel.  Lets see Bally & vintage Pierre Cardin in one single outfit all I can

Right off the bat I’m going to tell you that this white Claude Montana is a man’s shirt!  Yes it’s a man’s shirt and when I found it in the thrift store my eyes popped out.  Not just because of the label but because it just happens to be my SIZE !!!  How lucky is that?  I am the biggest fan of Claude Montana on the face of this planet so when I find anything from this brilliant creative artist, I grab it !  His designs from the 80′s are even hotter today.  He created bold designs, he was futuris

Nina Ricci vintage logo 70s 2 piece iconic…

The thing I find interesting about vintage is the sizing.  This vintage 70′s Nina Ricci 2 piece stunning blouse with skirt is a vintage size 14 but in today’s sizing it’s more like a 6.  The Nina Ricci Weekend label is 70′s and this is a label I just can’t find enough of.  Love vintage Nina Ricci.  The House of Ricci in Paris was set up in 1932 and when she retired from designing in the early 1950′s she was already in her 70′s.  This iconic French label is a pillar of the fashion industry and if

I love finding vintage 70′s Oleg Cassini second hand.  LOVE IT.  When I saw this sweet little green sporty dress with pockets and fabulous gold buttons, I just freaked.  This item is so damn hot and contemporary now it isn’t funny.  Oleg Cassini, who designed the dresses that helped make Jacqueline Kennedy the most glamorous First Lady in history.  After John Kennedy was elected, he persuaded Jacqueline to use Cassini as the creator of her total look, rather than one of many designers at that ti
