Although eco-friendliness is a motivator, and to tell the truth, it does weigh a factor in my head when buying clothing… I did not start out shopping vintage to save the planet. My love affair with vintage started out [...]
Today is one of those perfect days. I finally pulled out this black cotton jersey maxi dress I bought last year. Rocky says I’m ready for the opera, but I keep telling him, it’s cotton jersey, so it’s more like I’m wearing a giant t-shirt. Yesterday I commented on a The Fashion-y Blog saying that I [...]
I love it when it takes a few moments for beauty to sink in. Or a few months in my case. This morning, I was delighted to read Chic Today featuring James Jean, illustrator behind Prada’s SS08 dream-like prints. Although I wasn’t sure if I really liked the printed luxury clothing, reading the [...]
With my stuff, because everything’s really bright, if you lose it or someone steals it, you can see it from miles away and you can be like, ‘Oy!

It’s beginning to feel like summer. The long warm days and the beautiful trees really inspire me to wear florals… It’s been hard, to tell the truth to wear florals comfortably without feeling too much like a country lady, I don’t quite have the magnetic force of Anouk in her floral dress that inspires [...]
They were the earrings I didn’t like wearing. The diamond earrings given to me by a man that was not for me, during a particularly dark period of my life. The earrings were beautiful, but I just couldn’t stand to wear them, plus, they really aren’t my style. I didn’t know what to do with them, [...]
I’ve always had a fondness for Hammer Pants… It was huge in the late 80’s early 90’s… and in a way, they are the bell bottoms of my generation. The idea of actually wearing them again, was strange. Had I finally reached the age when a hot new trend came and went and is now [...]
