Hello! And thanks for sticking around during my much needed absence. I am fully charge, motivated, and ready to jump into my new life. And to start, I am taking a glamorous and relaxing trip to beaut...
There’s a running joke in the Rockabilly scene about flames, dice and cherries being the symbol of the 1950s infatuated followers of this subculture. Cars, tattoos, clothing – you name it...
Well it’s been a while since I have posted. My life has experienced many changes. Some the worst, some for the best. One change is my motivation towards exercising. I know I know, such a cliche...
In order to work in the vintage fashion industry, you really have to be a information sponge and avid researcher. Tracing history and trends in fashion, analyzing fabrics when no easy fabric tags exi...
I know it’s been a while since I last posted. After getting ready and selling at A Current Affair (post coming soon), I decided to take a week off and focus on friends, family and decorating fo...
As lovely as my Thanksgiving was, spending time with family and enjoying yummy food, I am sort of glad 2011 is coming to an end. It’s been a roller coaster of a year. Sometimes exciting, someti...
I am so excited to tell you that I have been asked to speak at this season’s Orange County Fashion Week! I will be on a panel, along with Heather Petrey of LA Fashion Snob, on blogging basics. ...
I just wanted to wish you a happy, fun, and festive Halloween. Wish I could look this lovely and glamorous while being frightened by a spooky black cat. Don’t you! What are you dressing as?
I hope you had a lovely weekend. But if you dread Mondays like me, here are some images of some lovely roses I picked from my overgrown rose bush. I hope they make you smile like they did me. Have a ...
Ooh! Or should I say Booooh! This sounds like a good event. the Alameda Point Vintage Fashion Faire is coming to Northern California. Somehow I think the finds are going to be way too good for Hallow...
I’m a pretty tough cookie. I can handle most of life’s problems with strength and I persevere. But sometimes, when so much is testing me, I have to give in and accept I can’t handle...
Elizabeth Taylor was the closest thing we Americans had to royalty. She ruled Hollywood with her talent and beauty and her collection of precious gems were fit for a queen. Although the violet-eyed m...
As Fashion Week starts to wind down (I know we have an entire month of fashion events here in LA) what really excited me were the looks seen off the runway. I can’t think of a better opportunit...
I’m getting back into my blogging groove next week after a much needed break. With the showroom opening, working on our vintage trailer, going on a camping trip for my birthday. Phew. I ...
Husband taking a break So I’ve been pretty absent from the blog for about a month. I was working like a maniac trying to get the showroom ready to go. And I wasn’t exactly aiming for perf...
What do you get when you mix couture royalty with a punk rock queen? Two damn good collections on 1stDibs.com. Juliana Cairone of Rare Vintage, one of the best vintage dealers in NYC, has curated a c...
Lovely pastels with punchy florals and stripes at Alice + Olivia. I love it when designers put a modern spin on vintage. These pieces are so wearable and fun.
As much as I love and worship vintage, I don’t dress in vintage head to toe. Just like I don’t decorate my home in vintage head to toe. I love the look of a modern twist with my vintage, ...
I am a social media addict. Have been since my very first blog post back in 2005. It just makes sense to me if you are running an online business that social media would be a natural form of communic...
This was my first BlogHer ever. I knew there would be fewer fashion bloggers, so when I spotted some vintage loving fashionistas, I practically sprinted towards them. I don’t think I have ever ...
A few weeks ago, Kelsi Smith, the founder of Two Point Oh LA, organized the 2nd annual TPOLA Blogger Picnic. I had so much fun last year, and this year was no exception. Despite getting lost and taki...
Probably one of the most dreaded shopping experiences for me is bathing suit shopping. Shopping online is really the only way I can handle the trauma. I don’t care how bathing suit ready you ar...
The Progress Building, 300 S. Thomas St, Pomona, CA The problem with vintage clothing, whether you buy it, sell it or collect it, is that eventually this tempting little obsession will literally take...
Happy Independence Day!

I hate coloring my own hair. I make a mess, it never comes out even or it comes out too dark. But when you have as much gray as me (thanks mom’s side of the family) it’s financially impos...
Flipping through Tommy Tom’s images of impossibly stylish people at the men’s collections in Europe, I was so happy to see this stunning little clutch which, without seeing the iconic R, ...
Ta Da! Debutante Clothing got a bit of a facelift. I posted on Facebook and Twitter about the redesign, but now we are fully functional. I had had the previous design for quite a few years. I felt it...
I LOVE this entire look. A very chic 1950s flair with just the right amount of modern edge. Lets start from the top shall we? The cap - cant tell if this is a knit cap or a beret. But I love it. Clas...
I wanted to share with you two new dresses in the shop. The shop has been sort of quiet most of this year, but thats about to change. I have so many exciting things I want to share with you and I am ...
