It's no secret that I do like to shop. Not necessarily buy when I shop, but I enjoy window shopping in all kinds of places. And one of the biggest thrills I get out of shopping believe it or not is a good deal. It's almost a GAME to me to find a great piece at a great price. Well that's what I'm talkin about today. A few things that I have in my closet that were good finds and steals that I've picked up along the way. Today, my coat … [Read more...]
Kaftan for the Copacabanna
I wore this dress a few weeks ago that I got a year and a half ago, and my family just looked at me like, "ARE YOU SERIOUS????" They didn't have to say it. It was written across their face. But I didn't care. I bee bopped all over town wearing this mocha flowey "gown". I can't deny I felt eyeballs on me, I think because I looked "different"… but again, seriously, I didn't care one bit. I was walking into Target and saw my reflection in … [Read more...]
Vintage and Fringe Fashion
Are you OVER this cold and snow or WHAT? I know being originally from Chi-town, I must say I DO love the snow and the cold as it reminds me of my childhood. I love to FEEL the seasons. Winter wouldn't feel like winter to me if we didn't have some snow, wear some fur, and bring out the warm boots. Even for just a little bit. I admit I love to FEEL winter. And today I enjoyed what I hope (and think) will be the last of our winter days. With … [Read more...]
Dita Von Teese’s Closet
Last week as I was channel surfing I came across a SUPER awesome fun show on my fave channel, Bravo. Dukes of Melrose is a show for all you fashionistas and lovers of couture and vintage fashion. Now... I preface all this by saying this does NOT mean I or most of you can just run out and buy all these FAB things. I love all of this truly as a "collector" I think. .... stay tuned for another post on this matter (my justification??? or my … [Read more...]
More unexpected finds.
You guys know I love great deals and great treasures. I love owning things that are unique and out of the ordinary and won't be found on every mannequin in every big box in town. So part of the thrill for me going antiquing and to consignment shops is finding these treasures. Not always are they a steal, mind you. But what they are is very COOL. Here are some things I found that I wish I could take home but had no place to put them. … [Read more...]
What time is it?
I'm droooooooooling over, obsessssssing over these like NO other, wish I could have one for every day of the week. I call these my Rainbow of Rolexes. From 1stdibs, you can get some of these (many are sold, DARN!), along with many other timepieces. But these I covet. It's like a spumoni of watches. I have always loved Rolexes, and especially men's large ones. We see so many classic simple ones, and I must admit, I'm a "practical" gal … [Read more...]
Oldies but goodies.
When we typically think of going shopping for some of our accessories, we might run to the mall, or maybe a local boutique, or even click ADD TO CART and do some shopping online. We probably wouldn't be going to our local antique mall to find such things. But, I found some AMAZING gems I couldn't help but snap a shot of on my recent visit to a local antique mall. Those who know me know I LOVE sparkly things. And the more unique, the better. … [Read more...]
